Allegedly. Whatever the actual story may be, the video is cool.

I liked this since I saw it on Future Weapons as the Magtech Masada. That was a couple years ago. Apparently, the military hasn't fully adopted it yet. This is why gun laws suck. They make it so you have to join the military to get all the cool gear. And even then, you don't get to keep it when you get out, normally.

I may pick this up when the price goes down and it has been tested in the open market.

MagPUL Masada, and yeah it's been in development for awhile.

They haven't adopted it AT ALL. Were you thinking of the FN SCAR, perhaps? It bears a passing resemblance to the ACR, and is currently being issued to some Special Forces and Ranger groups. The ACR itself will be one of the candidates undergoing evaluation later this year as a potential replacement for the M4 Carbine. I personally don't see anything coming out of those trials, but that's a topic for another discussion.

Bushmaster will be producing a semi-auto version of the ACR for LE and commercial sales.

Thanks for posting the video. I may hold off on any future AR builds and save a place for this little guy.

Cool! I saw they were going to have one featured in one of the stages there. I'd be interested in hearing a more detailed impression, if you don't mind.

Shooter, I'm sure you are member over on ARFCOM.....send a not to "Cold", he is a moderator over there and owns "68fourms.com" and 458forums as well. He is on the Noveske shooting team and he was able to handle a full auto ACR just a few weeks ago, he might be able to give you some detail.

Stop!


You are giving me drool spasms with all this ACR fanfare!

(Oh, man, I can hardly wait).

Time to start saving again.

While cool, you can build 3 or 4 dedicated AR's for what this thing is going to cost.

Very cool video! I doubt I'll own one, but who knows. video is pretty cool, even without the guys 'playing army'

But isn't that why someone would own one, to take it to lots of classes so they can get rapport on a forum?

i just hope they are not as expensive as the scar when full production starts and they are readily available.

I would say that's pretty much assured, given Bushmaster's extensive distributor/dealer network. FN deliberately kept prices inflated on the SCAR by only releasing a small batch (I was told 100 guns) in 2009, and making dealers jump through a bunch of hoops to get them.

ACR prices will no doubt start off somewhere in the stratosphere for the first examples, but should normalize relatively quickly as production ramps up.
