    I don't think that allows for weird blanket statements, unless he doesn't speak English I guess.

    The XCR is not close.

The barrel retaining screw works itself loose. When you talk to Alex Robinson about the faults in the system and have the temerity to suggest that's its a combination of an AR, a FAL, and an AK, he goes bananas. Given the issues with the 5.56 and 7.62 x39 versions I've seen, I'd pass on the 308
    I can't deny many things you have said, but I can offer another viewpoint. I've had an XCR for four years. It has been 100% reliable with multiple thousands of rounds through it. I check all bolts as recommended, though nothing has ever come loose. I've never had any problems with their customer service (only bought additional parts and spares, never dealt with warranty issues), but there are people who have horror stories.

    There are a lot of great things about the system and its simplicity and durability, but you won't hear about those on this site since it is devoted to a different platform.

    Okay, give him some examples of options he can own that are "close".

    Incidentally... Here is a current accuracy test of a 7.62x51mm XCR-M (granted, with a custom barrel).

    I was going to do a rather extensive accuracy and ammo test with the XCR-M and post it online for all to read, but then I decided that I didnt care if anyone liked the gun or not, that me liking it and how well it shoots was enough for me, the fact it ate everything I fed it was cool, and that the fact it had it's idiosyncracies like every other gun didnt bother me much.

    It seems to be more accurate than I am and Kermit Zahm provides top drawer service for the XCR. thats all I really know for sure.
    My capacity for self deception is exceeded only by yours.

    I'd publish that on my blog. Let me know if interested.

    I would be interested in that and I am, for sure, not in the market for one. But, if not, then I'll just have to wonder.

    I'm interested. Sometimes, I like being proven wrong.
    Insert impressive resume here.

    I just learned of the xcr-m today. Does anyone have any time on a current generation?
