I'm considering getting the ACR as my next black rifle project. I'd like to hear from anyone who's had theirs for a while. Any problems with it so far?
 
I had non restricted one from Questar, was flawless for reliability and very accurate to boot. I now have a restricted one, not many rounds through it yet, but flawless so far and also way more accurate than I was expecting.
 
I saw in a youtube vid of a guy using an ACR (restricted barrel size) and had MAJOR problems with it. What happened was it was jamming alot etc. See the youtube vid below. The comments in the youtube vid is varied. Some say it the owner was not caring for the rifle... others say it was crappy ammunition. I don't own one yet and I wouldn't be so quick to judge.
 
I've got a few thousand rounds through my Questar barreled non-restricted. It's been through two Phase Line Green courses (basic carbine and low light), and will be heading into it's third one (advanced carbine) this coming weekend. So far, the only issue I've ever had with it is the factory Bushmaster branded PMag won't feed from the right side... Two other PMags work fine, 7 LAR15 mags work fine. Love it.

See ya there!!!
 
I have and ACR that I send to Herron Arms to have a new 12.5" barrel installed and it has been flawless. I had put about 200-300 rounds pre-conversion using the stock 16" barrel and have now put well over 1000 rounds on the new barrel and I have yet to have one malfunction that wasnt user induced.
The layout of the rifle is great and the balance with a 12.5" barrel is fantastic. Big thanks to Ian for a fantastic job, Now I just need Bushmaster to release enough parts so I can can get a NS barrel on it as well.
 
Herron Arms 18.6" NR barrel.... ZERO issues.

Granted only about 200 rounds down the pipe, but it's been 100% flawless. Aluminum GI mags, Pmags, and LAR 10 rounders. Zero issues.
