Buying new xcr need help with caliber.

I meant it as a positive for the XCR 7.62x39 calibre choice. BOOM is cool. pewpewpewpew is 22lr.., a different kind of cool. 
I think there's an inherent therapeutic value associated with several thousand joules of energy blasting off from your fingertips. Maybe it could be best described as bonemarrow-vibratingly relaxing.

I taught this was a free forum?
I also did not know that 2 post in 2 tread was dogging him arround... I would understand if youd be a xcr owner and I was trashing it relentlessly. But as I pointed out it is a nice rifle I was just pointing out other option as he said he was open to them.
Yes you can, everthing can be swapped over in under a minute regardless of which model you start off with. In the kit you get a barrel, bolt, she'll deflector and one factory 5 round magazine. If you have a 7.62 kit there is no need to change the shell deflector when switching to .223, saves a little time there. That is the great thing about the XCR line of rifles. You can setup one rifle in any configuration you want as far as stocks, grips, optics and simply change the caliber you shoot and still maintain familiarity with the platform.

Well I am neutral on xcr vs tavor. I haven't shot eather. Some observations on both
The pros:
- xcr. Good ergos
. Take's ar mags
. Sturdy
. Fast mag change
. Caliber conversion
- tavor. Fairly good ergos
. Also take ar mags
. Military grade battle tested
. Compact
Cons
Xcr-. Consumer grade
. Previously ( I think) had some quality control issue
. On the heavier side of this category of rifle.
. Pricey caliber conversion
Tavor-. Slower mag change
. Not every body like the bullpup
. Supposedly bad trigger ( heavy)

because it sits in the safe untill you sell it because you take out the swiss and HK instead (my experience)
I wouldn't mind the XCR-M to try but I am pretty sure the RFB would remain my go to 308 gun and I would end up selling the XCR
You haven't shot either?
if its corrosive it will say corrosive, mfs is generally non corrosive. surplus is corrosive. Have you considered a cz858? What's your budget? What would you like out of the rifle?
The cz is not the most refined rifle out there, but it will run, some have their issues known as the gremlin, look that up for furhter details, mine did not, cz vs csa has an opposite safety selector setup, something to keep in mind.
A lot of people swear by the xcr, I myself am not particularly fond of them, but I'm not interested in starting another pissing contest so I will leave it at that.
If you want top drawer, Swiss are heavy but very well built rifles.
You can look for a nr shrubmaster acr if you want but I'm not sure why you would take that over a swiss.
If you dont mind bullpup the tavor is a solid rifle.
If you want to keep it sub 2k for price there is the benelli mr1. I personally dont care for it. weird manual of arms, but it takes ar mags.
Out of the lot, I would take the cz. But then again I'm a function over form guy.

Hmmm... scratches head and thinks: "if you haven't shot either, who's observations are you promoting???"

I bought my XCR in 6.8 SPC and loved it, so I went out and got the 5.56 conversion kit for it. Fun rifle to shoot, and legal to hunt deer with where you can use rifles.
You aren't talking to the biggest fan of the xcr, not much to convince me, I dont like them plain and simple. supernova can attest to that
Calgary shooting center is another place to contact. Don't know if they have any in stock at the moment though.
