    You forgot the recall over the trigger failing to be held by the disconnector or whatever that was.

    the recall was for a too soft firing pin spring which could lead to slam fires if you reloaded with soft primers. If you used factory ammo wouldnt have a problem. But they put in a revised firing pin and a higher strength firing pin spring and gave me a hardcase + 2 pmags for my trouble

    Sounds like you're an early adopter then. How's the rifle been holding up for you? Any issues with it outside of the recall?

    havent shot it in a while, probably has around 300 rounds or so through it and havent had a malfunction. Been shooting wolf and other steel case through it fine. I prefer shooting my AR setup since it shoots softer and its lighter. If a LW barrel came out for the ACR id probably get one
