Arms East ACR Update. They're Here!

Quick range report: I put 100 rounds thru it this evening without issue and sighted in the magpul sights at 100m as well. I opted for the super ACR trigger and man oh man is it worth it! What a smooth (and very fast) trigger. A very nice upgrade indeed! Despite the stainless NR hbar the rifle is very well balance. Not at all front heavy as you would have expected it to be... I can only imagine how sweet the short barreled version are for run & gun events.
Two things to note:
1. Check your gas regulators as mine was set for suppressed firing. A quick flip 180 degress and bingo. I noticed this prior to my range session as I field stripped it and gave it a wipe down.
2. *Some* LAR15 pistol mags are a tight free and will not drop free. Magpul mags are not an issue. I'm thinking this will improve with use.
You guys will be very pleased when you get to shoot your rifles.

Got mine. A few tooling marks/swirls on the barrel and the wrong flash hider but other than that I'm quite happy.
AE I will be in for the conversion kit if/when one comes out.
Thanks
P.s. Don't ultimately care about the 2 minor issues above so you won't be hearing from me re those. I'm quite happy.

If they are ever able to get more calibres from same manufacturer I would be in for one. Like something suitable for hunting.

Mine should be arriving today but unfortunately I am up north for work so I won't get to t play with it for a few weeks until I'm back home "Harrumph" I would have been able to play with it had AE picked another shipping option that didn't take 11 days to make it across the country. I ordered several items from China using standard mail and it arrived in 3 business days yet to come a few provinces over takes a week and a half lol.

^^^ pics?
you mean their gunsmith in the USA who did the NR conversion or are you talking about what Bushmaster has been promising for years?
There will never be a "kit" you can just buy and throw in your rifle, all will require fitting, machining, custom parts, etc by a smith other than except Bushmasters own and that is a big maybe.
I am currently gathering all the odds and ends for my 30 Remington AR conversion to go along with my 450 Bushmaster ACR. I posted a little bit about it here

I know zero. Time to bow out and just shoot what I got.

We are sorry to hear that the shipping time didn't work out for you.
The difference in cost for shipping xpresspost (3-ish days), given the size of the ACR box, can be well over 100.00$ through Canada post, depending on your location.
We are going on the assumption that you guys don't want to shell out any more cash than you already have at the last minute, however, if anyone would like to make a note for xpresspost shipping on their order, please don't hesitate to get in touch with us and we can apply the applicable changes!

got mine today - thank you AE! Looks and feels great, BUT I have one regret - I should have sprung the extra cash for the Geiselle trigger upgrade!
Hopefully Monday!!!!The Chrome Lined rifles are en-route from Florida. They have not arrived yet but won't be much longer. They will ship basically immediately on arrival. We will post when that happens here and customers with backordered rifles will also receive same day notification from Canada Post.
Also, for those on the West Coast, we notice Canada Post has begun padding their Expedited shipping guarantee dates. Through the notices now says 11 days guarenteed, as noted above, we are still seeing 5 days to Central Canada, 6 days to the prairies and 7-8 days to coastal BC, on average.
We can ship Xpresspost, but be aware that Expedited ground for these giant oversize 150cm high Bushmaster boxes/cases is $65 vs $35-40 for a boxed AR. Xpresspost Air can be ~$150. I know some people have requested Xpresspost and we have no problem doing this (we tick a different box), but I did want to put the actual Expedited ground average delivery times out there for consideration.
Very cool conversions you are doing.
We do have a 7.62x39 bolt and barrel in the works which will happen. Cannot confirm when if ever we will have full AE drop-in calibre conversions though. We could drill two barrels (NR 556/7.62x39) with on the same jig, which would potentially make future gas system swapovers fairly straightforward.
