Current Opinions on the Beretta ARX-100

[Ron3]

Just to be clear, I stand by my original assertion, and evidence, that Beretta is a dishonest company. My rifle is a lemon

We got it X5, man. And we empathize. There is nothing else we can do.

One thing to keep in mind if you get an ARX,
Beretta is notorious for their factory parts being more expensive than competitor comparable products, having spotty availability, and then having virtually no aftermarket.

They are also notorious for failed platforms are left to fend for themselves.
Think Cougar, 9000S, 90-Two, a couple of semi auto shotguns before the 1301, CX4, etc.

Are they the only company to do this?
Well, no. I hope I don’t need any parts for my SIG556 SBR, or my SIG556R.

I am not saying I don’t have an ARX,
But know what you are getting into.

I don't own an ARX, but in internet browsing in the past, their parts have struck me as cheap...

Maybe not AR cheap, but compared to other similar rifles they seemed cheap to me.

In the last year they doubled the price of replacement barrels to over $800.

Look at it this way. Buy a replacement barrel for $900 and get the rest of the rifle for free.

Mine has been perfect....Put a set of MBUS Gen2s and front lower rail. Deciding on either an AFG2 or VFG. Yes, I am left handed, paid $879.00 new from Academy Sports.

The Italian Army is still using them; suspect that it will not be discontinued soon.

Every Italian soldier I saw in Italy in April of this year (stationed around cultural and historical sites) was carrying an ARX-160.

Mostly saw the same in May/June, but there were some SC-70/90s in the mix, too. Talked briefly with a few Bersagliere.
