I know Blaxsun is going to jump in with his customary "XCR/ACR SUCKS!!", but both of them have really grown on me so I'm definitely keeping them.
oh no he's not - or else he's going to get a gang-spanking from all of us ACR owners

The flash hider is machined out of the barrel. The barrel bore and rifling run all the way to the end of the flash hider in one continuous piece of metal.

Nice looking ACR! I love mine, but mines got the basic forend which is longer, I like it better for mounting the bipod further forward. Mine shoots like a laser too. They are accurate guns and mine has been very reliable. What are you using yours for? Varmints?

Quiet you!
That's an awesome looking ACR - Ian did a fantastic job! Kudos!What's not to like? You end up with a NR barrel that's the same length as the factory one...

In an earlier thread I believe someone said that he does all the reclassification for you.
You send in your restricted ACR (along with a credit card), and you get back a non-restricted ACR ready to rock.

Yes Mr. Schultz, I left it at Herron Arms for Ian to do the reclassification as he is an approved verifier and took care of it for me. The paperwork and registration is being destroyed as we speak

The only "no-fun" one could see is the time required in getting the conversion done.
The extra costs involved in converting it from res. to non-restricted ($2,900 + txs + $800 or so for the conversion) Vs possibly paying $2,800-3,000 for a factory non-restricted is actually pretty good*
Now, you can get a top of the line barrel (from Ian), the possibility of a machined-in FH so you end up with an overall shorter barrel, with twist-rate that you want, the finish on it that you want, etc.
*IF you buy your ACR used for say $2,600, then your potential total cost for the conversion could around $3,400, which is right there with the yet-to-be released factory NR ACR.

Shouldn't be any issues as we are the ones who corrected the Questar barrel for AngryEyebrows.
We also testfire every single gun we do a conversion on, hence the reason we want the whole gun shipped to us not just the barrel and bolt
Of course there are always unforeseen issues but we stand not behind but infront of our work

Should be interesting! Expensive to shoot, but interesting nonetheless...
