“The rifle itself has no moral stature, since it has no will of its own.

Yeah, I really wanted it to be a thing. Even the SCAR seems to have failed to live up to the promise of what it could be and that's with FN making it.
I have to keep reminding myself that everything is still a FNC or a AR18 in a fancy new plastic shell. I won't be abandoning the AR platform anytime soon.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.

The 16L pops rounds, depending on brand/type of mag. 17 doesn't. At least not that I've found.
I imagine the 16 was designed to run best with FN's STANAG mag and not PMAGs or Troy's or whatever else. And there aren't too many options for 17 mags other than the factory one so it is a non-issue with that platform.
Take a look inside most rifles designed to run M16 mags and you'll see the feed lips are supported by radiused rails at the top of the mag well and/or inside the upper. The M16 has them. So does the AR18. Tavor and MCX do too. Don't know about the Beretta or the Bren since I haven't messed with those.
We found out about this stuff the "hard way" with my ACR by running hard in carbine drills. Doing stuff like VTAC barricade drills, shooting monopod prone, etc. Off the bench and/or shooting 3gun where a bolt open reload is often avoided there is no real problem.

I honestly have never had any problems with my ACR, and I'm probably somewhere in the 5K round count on it. It will never replace my ARs, but I find it to be much more tolerant of various grades of ammo.
Although not as temperamental, it's also not as accurate as any of my AR's. A few years ago I replaced the original 1/9 twist barrel with a Marvin Pitts 1/7 P&W 13.9 FN barrel. He does a great build with his own gas regulator, that allows usage suppressed or unsuppressed equally as well. Maybe I just got lucky, but it has been well worth the enjoyment factor for me.
These days I see the ACR go for 1.6K to 1.8K range brand new, which is a hell of a lot better than they used to be. With the current factory support leaking out slowly with the different barrel lengths and Mlok rails, I'm hoping the ACR is just down and not out.
Me too on the .300 Blk, Dana at Templar has been a solid source on the ACR for years.
I'm sure you'll be loving that Nefarious Arms barrel also! Congrats!
