One thing worth considering on the flip side of the MCR's pricing is that it still comes in at roughly 2/3 the cost of the FN Minimi/M249 and is half the weight of that platform as well. With 9' of Belt-lift, the MCR has plenty of the mechanical "torque" necessary for reliable belt-fed operation. As a result, the current MCR is a very reliable system. Mine never had a stoppage (that I can recall) that was attributable to the firearm. That was what took Jeffrey Herring, the designer and CEO of Fightlite Industries, 15 years to continually tweak and optimize.
Had any military unit adopted the MCR, even in limited numbers, I would probably still have mine. It is an excellent platform capable of sustained fire with its appropriately heavy MG-weight Barrels. However as a purely civilian Light Automatic Rifle/Light Machinegun, the MCR didn't really have a place within my collection of major military handgun, submachinegun and rifle designs of the late 20th and early 21st Centuries. Plus it was a lot of hobby money to have tied up in what amounted to a novelty flex at the range....

I shot and handled the MCR few times in FA. Look at the attaching point of the ammo box, AR lower is like 2 or 3 inches lower than the FN or any MG.
Major ergonomic issue with the unmodified AR lower to work with MG ammo box is the combined height of the ammo box and the receiver. It needs a very long bipod and the ammo bag or box will be constantly dragging on the floor, and human only got arms that are so long, and people will end up resting the gun on the ammo box in a hurry - those with cheap 200 rd plastic FN box it will come off or break. This also means the gun cannot point up much either because the ammo box will bottom out on the ground unless the bipod is very tall......so if the gunner is on a flat ground or slightly depressed spot it is more difficult to point up.

Wow, I have never seen that weapon till now! Just watched the company's video for it, and aside from the barrel changes being a little more finicky than it is on a c9, that looks like a way better piece of kit for carry and functionality! Its even got the option of switching back to the magazine, and it looks more reliable than the c9 in that regard. Just wow, I wonder if the CAF has considered this as an option?

And no FA but the carrier is notched for one...
Nothing wrong with the barrel, but yeah the dust cover and notched bcg.
IT should be a concern if debt manangement isn't tackled soon it will be devastating for this country economically just look what Trump's tarrifs are doing to the industries right now. Trudeau was a narcissist just like Nero in Rome would't take much for the deck of cards to fall

EXACTLY!Nice collection you got there...
Sorry, sorry... had to... lol
Except that there is nothing in my photos that the government doesn't already know about....
Just need a homosexual tranny with a backpack full of lead BB to go on a puppy killing rampage....then it's Prohib.
With a Dissipator the gas block can be back under the handguard and the front sight is not used as part of the gas system
You're talking about the more modern version, which is carbine or mid-length. In those you're correct, the fsb is not part of the gas system
This one is a true dissipator, and yes it works.
Bayo lug interferes with a proper dissipator length barrel, and swivel always seemed unnecessary to me. Slip ring could arguably be either style, I chose the early parts for the vibe.
