I like the stock. I like the adjustable gas. Not thrilled with the rather tall/chunky handguard or the 16" pencil barrel though. As with every new rifle platform that comes out, I don't see enough to move me away from the M4.

There's nothing wrong with having a favorite, but you don't have to limit yourself.Originally Posted by Jonnyt16

I get it. If I'm honest for years I always wanted an upgraded (or Rem production) ACR, but it looks like this might be the closest I get to that rifle, but as far as moving away from the AR that probably wont happen due to interchangeable parts and familiarity with the platform.
Dr. Carter G. Woodson, “History shows that it does not matter who is in power or what revolutionary forces take over the government, those who have not learned to do for themselves and have to depend solely on others never obtain any more rights or privileges in the end than they had in the beginning.”

I will wait a bit, but I am definitely getting one.

I took one home today and did a quick tabletop review.

I played with one today. Unfortunately the one I saw would not keep the stock locked in place. The latch seemed mighty shallow compared to the scar, etc. Maybe it was a fluke or maybe it will be a problem. It felt like a heavier modernized ARX. I will get one but I want to wait a bit to let them shake out any issues.
