WTF!? why so many XCR for sale?

I can't understand why this is so upsetting to some AR guys it's kind of weird my kid's go on like this all the time mines bigger than yours or mines better than yours? who cares why people sell their rifles. I use my XCR to hunt with and punch paper with so what, its a good rifle and what people pay for the XCR is up to that person if they want to afford it. the dealers that we buy ower guns from are CGN sponsers so why all the negative towards the XCR we dont go after AR,s and we respect the dealers that sell on this site. XCR M CANT WAIT
 
Maybe those that own them are getting time on other rifles and are now realizing the XCR is an overpriced piece of garbage, and trying to dump them without getting hit too bad in the wallet?

If I didnt have one already, I'd be happy to take those pieces of garbage away from whoever doesnt like it :D

The XCR is my first black rifle so I have nothing to compare but I love it! Had it out once in pouring rain. 300 rounds later, not a single issue. It shoots and recoils like a .22. Drying and cleaning it was a breeze.

Whats there not to like? Except the new price maybe which is a little steep :(
 
While I respect your position and many of your posts on this forum; I think that the point here is that there is no debate, but rather a question by the OP.

Edit: If 50calshooter has 40 years of service in several dozen countries at the ripe old age of 27, with over a dozen being NATO nations and countless LE departments, then wow, I want in on that gig.

Obviously my post was misinterpreted. The 40 years experience I mentioned was that of the AR F.O.W. not that of 50calshooter himself.

Who asked you?? last I saw you were being ripped for reading to many issues of swat magazine ....now please mind your own:)
I have been very respectful to all members here including 50calshooter

Oh I'm sorry, is this a private forum/thread for only XCR fanboys?? It's alright if you don't agree with me.

No really.. the question was who asked you? the op asked about XCR's not AR's and you dont have one..preaty strait forward duh
 
I don't think so TDC, you're on here.;) Carry on, I'm enjoying this. If it was a piece of crap I'd be rid of mine too. I've seen enough real pieces of crap as well as good products in my 50 + years to be a "fanboy" for anything.

I am not sure why so many are being sold right now but I don't believe it is from any fault of the rifle. I have sold lots of rifles that I wish I never did sell and I suspect some of these ladies and gents just might regret it as well.

I have an XCR in a 223. I love how accurate it is. AE red box 223 shoots nicely and I am working up a load for it with some BLC2 powder and some 45gr varminters. A friend of mine just bought a Benelli MR1 and we went to a range and fired off some rounds. I enjoyed both rifles and I found that both rifles are capable of 1 moa with the proper loads. If I wanted less then 1 moa then I would have bought a bolt heavy barrel. Most semi's to me cannot match a good bolt no matter how tricked out it is.

Does owning an XCR give you some kind of psychic insight into why a different owner might be selling theirs or something?

The OP asked why so many people are selling their XCRs. You don't have to be an XCR owner to speculate, and since there is no actual data available, all anyone can do on this subject is exactly that: speculate.

There have been several theories advanced here that make sense to me...tax time, lot of money to have tied up in a gun if you're not using it, non-restricted novelty might be wearing off for some, replacement parts have traditionally been hard to get from Robarm, small company with a history of abandoning platforms might make some people nervous, some people might be turned off by the company's CS approach, might just be a coincidence...who knows? All valid reasons to sell a gun, just like "don't want it anymore".

None of this should cause anybody to freak out. Mentioning reasons why someone might want to sell something, in a thread called "why are so many people selling this thing" is not bashing, it's offering an answer to the question that was asked.

Excellent post..

Sounds like someone trying to defend their guns value :stirthepot2:

In all seriousness though, why is there so much hate in this thread? People need money, for one, and second, there seems to be an expanding number of non-restricted options and not many can afford to have them all at once. Then theres people like me who realize that having a non-restricted really is not that big of an advantage (for ME) because my shooting will almost exclusively be done on a range and for $2700 I can have one hell of an AR, or an AR and a sidearm. (not a knock at the XCR, simply stating what makes sense for me)

Not to disagree too heavily ;) , but there's a special charm to plinking away with a non-restricted 5.56mm outside the confines of a range ! :dancingbanana:

I'm not sure if you read the entire thread? The op asked why people were selling the xcr some speculated as to the reason and some chose to turn this into an AR PR XCR bash thread...The op asked for this not to happen. So someone got told. And yes owning and using something does give more insight into the subject as posed to pure speculation..

That is only true if you are describing why YOU are selling an XCR. If you are giving someone else's reasons for selling an XCR, then either they told you the reasons or you are speculating. Owning an XCR has no effect on this.

My read of the thread has a few guys freaking out over the mention of an AR. I am telling you why that freak out is pointless and unnecessary.

I disagree..If you have never used, held or owned you are merely speculating the obvious and thats not offering any real insight as to why ...... I don't see how the AR fighting on 10 different continents and used by several LE agencies with 5 decades of service blablabla is valuable information to this thread...lets just talk about AR's now...Or how about we wait till the next AR thread and start talking about how great the XCR is.. Geesh man

Your opinion and decision to disagree does nothing to discredit the LOGIC involved with misanthropists' post. I don't need to hold stocks in gold to understand their value is climbing. Nor do I need to drive a Toyota to know their sticky gas pedal has had a negative impact on sales.
