I really dig my ACR. I got one of the newer ones with lighter barrel and dual charging handles love the ergonomics and probably still the best folding stock around IMO. I think they are making an effort to improve the fit and finish as mine is excellent and over 3000 flawless rounds so far. With a 14.5” barrel it’s very handy

The trunnion is supposed to be pretty heavy as well. At least one person has made custom light weight trunnions, and when combined with light barrels and bolts makes for a pretty light gun.Originally Posted by Aries144

Interesting. Thanks for the reply.

Off topic, but cogent to the thread of discussion pertaining to rounds popping out: Just confirmed the 5.56 Bren 2S pops rounds out just like the ACR and SCAR. No support for feedlips. Even using a Lancer mag with steel feedlips. You have to really slam it in harder than I ever did in competition though. Using my normal 'press, pull, slap her if she needs it,' it's not happening. It's best practice not to slap in mags on open bolt anyway as it wears out the mag's over insertion stop.

With the new non M4 barrel cut down to 14.5 it feels a lot lighter and handles better than earlier ACRs.
With the scope pictured below, the SCAR is actually heavier than my ACR with the ACOG.

Surprisingly smooth and shoots well, the Geissele does make it that much better.
That's a couple of nice set ups. Is that the OEM Bushmaster MLOK hand guard? I wish I had a chance to shoot my ACR more often.With the new non M4 barrel cut down to 14.5 it feels a lot lighter and handles better than earlier ACRs.

I broke down and bought the DMR version when the price hit $1,300 at Grabagun.com. In addition to the Magpul fixed PRS stock the 18.5" heavy barrel is 1:7 twist. With factory 77 grain SMK loads it shoots MOA all day long. I believe I might be able to get it down a bit more with handloads but haven't tried yet. I've put maybe 1,500 rounds through it over the past year with no issues. I'm very impressed with the fit, finish and reliability.
Back in 2010 I wanted a Masada so bad I could taste it. But like everyone else I wasn't willing to pay $3K for all of the hype and none of the benefits. No caliber conversions or different barrel sizes....1:9 twist rate. It was a complete abortion as has already been discussed. But this rifle, at the current price is a different story. I like it enough that I am SBRing it. I've ordered the folding stock and 10.5" barrel to be held at my LGS until I get my stamp.
I'm not by any means trying to argue the superiority of one platform or another but I am just bored with the AR/M4. I think there is something to variety being the spice of life.
Be safe.

That’s what I’m talking about....that’s a great setup. And you can go from a heavy rig shooting 500+ yards to a light CQB setup in less than 5 minutes. It might have taken 10 years to get here but I’m digging it just the same.

I’m waiting for Dana to release his lightweight trunnion and lower receiver... then it’ll be a super light build.
