I was really impressed with the weight and barrel change feature. Would like to see some durability testing, stock felt particularly weak. Spoke to engineer who said was in process of shipping machinery from Italy to set up US production.

I inquired last year directly with Beretta about this rifle and was told that there were no plans of releasing this rifle to the US market. That was almost 1 year ago. Now it seems that there is more interest or at least desire from Beretta to maybe get some government contracts. The weapon system looks promissing to me and I would love for it to hit the streets here in the US. Like all new weapon systems, it has to be proven and that sometimes takes a while. If Beretta plays their cards right, they could have a winner with this one. On paper it sure sounds like a winner. BTW, since it has so much polymer, how expensive could it be? If it is a performer (like the HK XM-8 supposedly was) and is priced close to what the ACR was supposed to be at, the sky is the limit.

That handguard is really fat.
Looks like the Px Storm and the ACR had a baby. I saw the ambi ejection port and I just wanted to fill it full of sand.

Looking for someone who can make a polygonal 1911 barrel for my father. IM me if you can help.
This gun was made to marry the .300 BLK. If Beretta launches a 7.62 barrel, it will be a hit for sure.
Beretta, in 2009 (when the rifle was adopted by Italian Army...) announced that the ARX160 would be produced only in the following calibers:
- 5.56 NATO (done)
- 7,62 Soviet (done)
- 6,8 SPC (not yet presented)
That's it.
The assumption I made is that the carbine has been designed ONLY to use intermediate rifle ammos.
If a ARX will be issued in a full power caliber ammo, like 7,62 x 51, the model name will be NOT anymore ARX160 but ARX <something else> ....
