So I tried a factory 16 inch ACR barrel in an AR upper. Good news is that it shot pretty decent, bad news is that it didn't cycle fully, I took it home and opened up the gas port slightly and will test again next time out and report back with the results and also what size gas port it needs once I know it cycles properly.

So has the supply of these pretty much dried up for now? Was hoping to pick one up around the end of the month but have had no luck finding one.

There are lots of new ACR's around, just not as Non-restricted. The whole Non-restriceted ACR option from Irunguns and Arms East was kind of a one shot deal. Best bet now is to buy a restricted one and send it to Dlask or Herron Arms. (I think Red Deer Shooting Center has ACR's in stock)

Thanks, I'll have to give them a call. I don't have an issue with having it re-classified, from what I can tell, Herron does good work.

Herron does excellent work!
Yah that ACOG is actually perfect for that rifle.

Would one of you guys be able to give me an OAL with the NR barrel and the stock fully collapsed? Length with stock folder would be cool too.
Thanks

Stock folded it is about the same as my Tav, 28-30", and with the stock open but collapsed add about 9"
Me to, I only fold the stock to put it in the case and sometimes when I sling it while walking. I never shoot it folded. Useless shooting it folded, can't hit anything, just making noise.

Expensive noise....
My ACR and AR-180B were not happy having the Tavor around so I traded it off. Thought it was a decent little toy but it didn't put a smile on my face like shooting the other two.
Did pretty good on the trade I think. Now I have this.
Rem 700 AAC-SD in .308
MDT TAC-21 chassis
Vortex Viper PST 6-24x50 FFP EBR-1 (mil) in a Vortex mount.

To those that have swapped the gas system onto a new (built for the ACR) barrel, may I ask what's involved? Is it as easy as drifting out a couple of cross pins to mount the gas block? Can't find this info anywhere on the interwebs.
Thanks in advance.
Thanks in advance.
I've done it numerous times. If you're putting the gas block on a new barrel you need to either cross drill and file the holes for the taper pins to fit or drill and tap the gas block. I chose the drill and file method for both of my barrels.
If the barrel is already cross drilled then yes it's as simple as drifting out the pins and slipping the gas block off the old and onto the new. Takes about 5 min.
