The Beretta ARX-100 is on the cover of June 2013 Guns and Ammo magazine and is to be introduced this week at NRA show per the article. The ARX-100 is supposed to be at warehouses which should they should start showing up this month. MSRP is $1950 and Beretta is asking dealers to honor this price. No mention of FDE version but I am hoping it will be available soon.

What's the difference between the ARX-160 and the ARX-100?

ARX-100 is the semi auto civilian 5.56MM US version of the ARX-160.

I really want to handle one of these, but the hand guard seems way to bulky and short for my tastes. If the rest of the gun turns out as well as the claims state it should be a good addition to the market.

The Italians where I am in A-stan have all turned in their metal guns for the new plastic. I haven't had a chance to shoot one yet, but they look very slim and compact. Everyone I have seen seems to have about an 11 or 12 inch barrel. FWIW, all of them I have seen here are black, not tan.
It looks like a neat gun, if it's durable and can keep a zero.

For what it is worth the article in G&A mentions that the ARX holds its zero with the quick change barrel. Also mentions that 12 & 16 barrels will be available. Good to hear about the handguard from somebody who has actually seen it. Did have same concerns that it would feel bulky but sounds like it doesn't. That was the orginal reason I was hesitant when I bought my FS2000 but it turned out to not be an issue either.Originally Posted by eodinert

I have handled the ARX-160 a few times and the handguard is bulky and hard to manage.
I would probably run it with a foregrip, but even that would seem to be mounted lower-than-ideal.

In keeping with Beretta's habit of pissing me off, it will probably sport a thumb hole stock, threadless barrel, and feed a new proprietary Beretta magazine.
All kidding aside, kudos to Beretta if they can actually bring this to the market in the next couple of months.
I like my rifles like my women - short, light, fast, brown, and suppressed.

Really like that FDE in the picture. Hopefully it will be offered on the ARX-100.I have handled the ARX-160 a few times and the handguard is bulky and hard to manage.
