Robinson Arms' XCR modular, military rifle has been in the works for several years now. I finally have my hands on my own copy, and it is beautiful!
We'll be shooting it this weekend, but here are initial impressions:
The rifle comes with a slick, folding stock and functional, flash suppressor. Barrel and chamber are chrome lined. Chamber is NATO spec. T wist rate is 1:9, just the way I like it.
The rifle itself is gas-piston operated, but light and handy. It takes M-1 6 magazines. The gas system is adjustable, similar to that of an FAL.
The manual safety lever is similar both in location and design to that of a n AR-14, but it rotates through only sixty degrees, rather than ninety. Thos e with small hands will really appreciate this feature.
While in register, the trigger finger does not come to rest on the magazine-release button, as is the case with the AR-15.
Trigger breaks at a crisp eight pounds, and the reset snaps in abruptly and
unmistakably. The bolt handle is on the left side and also functions as a forward-assist, a feature I've been personally lobbying for.
Disassembly is reminiscent of a Kalashnikov. Slick and logical, and it can't be put back together wrong. No tiny, easy to lose, parts. Bolt catc h is ambidextrous and eminently useable.
My first impressions are all positive. This is a well-designed, light, short, handy, user-friendly rifle, designed for serious purposes and heavy use. Alex Robinson has emerged as a genuine design genius, and he deserves a lot of credit for devoting himself and his company to this project and seeing it through to completion. It was worth the wait!

I wouldn't mind having one. Personally I'd want a 1/7 or 1/8 twist barrel and a fixed stock, but it looks like a nice weapon. What is the going price on these?

Pricing on the XCR will be ~1,400 with anticipated deliver to me in July. I got my fingers crossed.

The top two appear to have 14.5" barrels, is that an experimental model/ prototype or will they be available later?

I would be very interested in buying one. Please contact me whenthey arrive. What barrel length did you order? How much are spare barrels?

After all the problems I've had with my M96 I won't be buying another Robinson product. Customer service was awful too.

what is your opinion on the heigth of the iron sights? the one i handled at the SHOT SHow seemed like the sights set up to high when i rested my check on the folding stock. it reminded my of the galil i once owned.
