Beretta ARX-100 Introduced at NRA Show

[Vitor]

So are they going to make another barrel or what?

I guess that is the idea. The piston is attached to the barrel, not as slender as the FN piston used in the scar and f2000 but not as chubby as the Tavor piston.

For some first hand knowledge of the platform check out MarineSniper8541's thread on the ARX-160A2.

Wouldn't the toolless barrel change thing lead to a less stable barrel?

I have gripes, but it doesn't look bad. I'd pick it over a low quality AR.

I think the handguard looks bulkier than shit, and I don't like the fact that you can't flip out the pistol grip.

I have only handled the LE/mil model but it felt pretty good. The forend is a bit bulky and the charging handle is a bit small but I liked it over all. If a few make it out and perform well I'd be tempted.

If it's anything like the ARX-160 rimfire... no thanks.

BUT... they have it at the NRA show, it's on the cover of G&A, and they are ready to ship them from warehouses post haste? What was it certain of our members said about Beretta being unable to market free sex? And where the hell is my Rk 95?

That would be the ARX-200.

To clarify, they should have made one receiver capable of handling up to 7.62x51.

No they shouldn't have. That is one of the downfalls of the 556 scar as it is too big for a 556.

If it is actually in warehouses and coming out shortly, it'll sell well as the new kid on the block. It'll kill their MR1, since they own benelli after all, but I doubt many of those sold anyhow. FDE please!

Are you talking in mass, or weight?

Because weight wise, it's definetely not too big.

[Armati]

In general, all the reasons why the forum has no love for the Scar.

Keep in mind the SCARs biggest failure was with the Rangers who were testing it in Afghanistan. They were not impressed.

I know a friend of mine had issues with his ACR this way. It kept seating odd using the lever pressure when he would re-install the barrel. Maybe because he had to do it Everytime we took the rifle out to show off?
