XCR questions

[XTGUN]

I have a keymod comp length with light barrel, and after coming from an early gen with heavy barrel and rails, the weight and balance is worlds apart, even with the extended upper.

What does the competition model weigh? The RA site lists the weight the same as the L.

With the keymod version and light barrel you're saving about 1.5 lbs, the major difference is the balance. I owned a quad rail years ago and sold it, due to being way too front heavy. I've since gotten and XCR-L in 5.56 and 7.62x39, dedicated uppers sharing a lower, and XCR-M in 308. They've made significant improvements in the platform.

I'm happy with them for what they are, if I were looking for a dedicate yote rifle, I might look at alternatives, just due to current prices and many great options. If you want a multipurpose black rifle, the new keymods will most likely do the trick.

I have a dream.... To have this guy's set up ^^ Where can you get complete uppers? Just got a 308 keymod and it is amazing. In a perfect world would like the .223/ x39 on an L as well.

Wolverine should be able to order you a complete upper. They were willing to do it last time I enquired.

You have to buy the parts and build it, or buy the parts and pay the smithing service to have it assembled. Unfortunate it's not like buying AR uppers ... and the price is seriously high. As Travis Bickle pointed out the price of barrels alone is high. Wolverine Supplies was going to bring the new pricing up with RA , but I don't think it went anywhere.

I want just the barrel fro XCR-M in 243, but I refuse to pay 900 bucks for it too. Swapping uppers is nice, but if I were to do it all over again, I would have saved the money and only bought a conversion I think.

Robinson Armament has a (relatively) new section on their website for parts:
http://robinsonarmament.com/xcr-part-identification/

Helps with part identification and includes a parts list with MSRPs on parts (USD obviously).

I have the new xcrL extended forearm keymod light barrel. Groups well, handles exceptionally well, is light in the right areas and the irons has a really awesome sight plane now with the long fore end.

I have handled the older xcrls and own the new generation keymod in light barrel .223 and heavy barrel 6.8SPC.

I use the 223 for my yote gun and the 6.8 for deer when dogging. The gun balances well and I have No issues carrying it.
