I told the engineers at Robarm to get the SBR-M model done ASAP.
That is more my speed

SR/Magpul mags, correct?
That SBR looks wicked.
Wow, I'm liking the SBR version a lot *anxiously awaits to hear price*
That SBR will give you AK-47 ballistics, but with two times the recoil and muzzle blast.
Awesome. :meeting:
The SBR is photoshopped by VB using the original picture.
Just for informations sake.;)
Supposedly, RobArms will be ready to take pre-orders for this rifle in the next couple of weeks. I'm not sure if they will require a deposit, but I'm a little skeptical of the announcement.
You see, I'm an XCR-L owner for the past 3.5 years who has not had a real problem with my weapon. That is because I've only fired about 2000 rounds thru it. While this may seem odd at first, I'll elaborate to clear things up a bit. I bought my XCR-L when it was the first civilian SCAR compliant weapon - a true marvel of modern engineering with ambi bolt release, quick-change barrel, non-reciprocating side charging handle, etc. Things were looking great about 2.5 years ago when Alex promised a SCAR stock, multiple caliber conversions, a 1:7 twist barrel and other goodies. He even hired a talented customer service liaison to coordinate repairs and upgrades.
Fast forward to today and only about 1/2 of the promises have been fulfilled - none in a timely manner. The stock is still not ready for prime time (just a few more weeks guys) and I'm still stuck with a 1:9 twist barrel. In addition, the girl who coordinated their CS shop left and their CS has already started to regress to the Robinson of old.
So, I refuse to invest any real training, time, or funds into a platform that will not evolve and that has no reliable source of parts/support. I just decided to take off the optics and relegate my "perfect" XCR-L to the back of my safe unless someone needs a bludgeoning to the head. I'll spend my time on the range with AR platforms that have reliable support and parts sourcing.
As for the XCR-M, RobArms can kiss my ass if they think that I'm going to send money to pre-order a weapon that has been promised as "almost ready" for 3 years. From what I can tell, their shop is in a state of disarray and cannot handle the support for the XCR-L, not to mention another platform. I especially love how they announced the pending arrival of the XCR-M and then asked, "what barrel lengths do you guys want?" Jeeez....
Well, I think it is sexy!
Thankfully, I caught your post before you went back and edited it
Care to explain why you say you only shot 250 rounds when on 09-18-2009, 03:16 AM you said the following
There is a big difference between 1.5 and 3.5 years (only a year has passed), and even a bigger difference between 250 and 2000...Quote:
I've had an Aimpoint Comp M4 and 3X magnifier mounted on my XCR for 1.5 years - both with Larue mounts. I've never had a problem with several thousand rounds fired. Having said that, this is now a range gun and I've never put it thru a class or run it thru the mud.
So which is it? Correct me if I am completely off base.
