$1500 Remington ACR for Military and LEO?

[variablebinary]

Magpul has came out and made a statement that because of their inexperience with things of this nature they misjudged the $1500 price tag on the Masada.

Let's be honest, what else is Magpul going to say? The ACR is a joint venture.

Wasnt the original intended price point for the masada 1500 bucks? That is before scrubmaster craptasticed the hell out of it....

I would at least be willing to look at the remington version if it was in the 1500 dollar range, but it had better be quite a bit more weapon than the bushmaster...

anyone who seriously thought this was going to be $1500 after years of R&D was going to be disappointed. $1500 barely buys a quality customized AR. If I had designed this gun I would not be selling it for $1500. People wouldn't be able to find one to begin with at this price and people would complain about availability.

They should know this already. Most of the LEO I know run privately purchased carbines, not issue weapons other than a pistol.

If there is an LEO/Mil model for $1500, I would jump all over it.

One for each family member. Just when I thought I was diverting most of my firearm attn to a semi in 308...

$1500 is an unreasonable price point, but once it cleared the round number of two grand that's when the luster disappeared. It became a very expensive MRP with a folding stock.

If the Remington version as pictured emerged, then I could see it commanding the MSRP of the Enhanced Shrubby ACR, and subsequently selling out. They'd need a couple key details (1:7 or 1:8 barrel, trimmer weight, factory SBR options), but it's still a winner in the making - just don't screw it up!

Id probably be willing to do 2k or a bit more, but thats about it. At the current prices tho there is no way Id consider the bushmaster version. For that matter, I dont know if Id consider it at 1200..

Sorry, but I won't pay $2K plus for a Bushmaster.
