My Basic ACR + Enhanced stock is here
Won it on gunbroker last week. Seller stated he sold an Enhanced to Cali, obviously cant have a folder there so he swapped a fixed off a Basic. Also since the 30rnd mag cant go to Cali also, it came with two coyote pmags. This is the same setup I wanted, Basic handguard + Enhanced stock in coyote. Anyone who uses 12" rails on an AR should consider the Basic handguard, the Enhanced rails with the front folded down essentially has the same top rail length as a carbine. Too short for me. The extra length of plastic in front of the front sight on a Basic is significant for the extra grip.
Liking it so far, my only complaint is sometimes the bolt release is hard to release when locked open. Does anyone else have this issue, maybe it just needs to be worn in? Havent zeroed it yet, I plan on going Sunday. I want to get some MOE polymer rails and put an AFG on it, Magpul MS3 sling when it comes out, and probably an Eotech of some kind. Hopefully they will make more pmags in Coyote.

Does the balance on the basic change at all with the folding stock?
-
Weight?
Weight of barrel removed?
Also pic of barrel profile.
I really like the bolt release configuration on this and the RobArms

Did you buy it from Aaron @ Patriot in NC? If so I was the unfortunate one that bought/won the enhanced ACR but had to be shipped to me with a non folding stock. He also couldn't ship me the 30rnd mag which I didn't need.
I'm bummed out I couldn't get the folding stock.

its still a little front heavy, the center of balance is near the barrel trunion here the handguard takedown pin is. My guess if a lightweight profile is used the center of balance will shift back to a spot somewhere inside the magwell. I would like a LW barrel profile. Stock barrel is govt profile, comparing it to my AR15 govt profile barrels.
Using my postal scale:
removed barrel with piston components: 2lb 9.3oz
unloaded weapon: 8lbs 5.4 oz which is close to the 8.3lbs as officially stated
I dont know the weight of a fixed stock so I cant say if it changes balance. If you can find the weight of the fixed stock the folding stock weighs 1lb 1oz
yes I bought it from Aaron at Patriot Shooting Sports, hah small world
