Black & Green? Tan or White! There can be only 1!

I do have a serious question here and not criticizing but why did you buy the same rifle in same caliber in two different colors? Should have bought one in .223 and the other in 7.62x39 or 6.8 if that's your thing.

I wanted a white one since Wolverine had the first white M, so I ordered it in Januaryish (just got her yesterday). I bought the tan while waiting and it has been perfect. But I think you are right trade one for an M and sell something else!

Sorry, I think you mentioned that too me some time ago in a PM. Which ever one you end up keeping its still a XCR so you still win. Color preference is a personal choice but in my opinion you will get a higher dollar for the white one because as you said it is new/new

No offence to guys that have those calibers but in my opinion of the three available options for the L the 223 is the only choice. 7.62x39 and 6.8 both suck for different reasons in a rifle like this.
Rob Arms should make one in 300BLK. If they did I'd buy one. I have an AR in 300BLK and while it's very comparable to 7.62x39 when using 115-125gr bullets it does feed better than x39, doesn't require different mag followers, doesn't require a new bolt, and it is so much more versatile. Yes it's more work to reload than to buy cheap bulk surplus x39 but it's worth it to be able to shoot 110gr Vmax (especially if you had a non restricted platform) and running 200+gr projectiles sub sonic is really cool even without a suppressor, they are still a lot quieter and they hit like a ton of bricks under 100yds, it really smashes the gongs. The 300BLK just outshines the x39 in every category other than price per round but now that I have 700 brass converted from 223 and a good supply of 30 cal projectiles it's pretty cheap to shoot. And why would you want to shoot corrosive ammo in a $2400 rifle? You need to be meticulous in your cleaning if you do and clean it as soon as you get home. I've seen what it can do to an SKS if neglected. It took me a few hours to get my buddy's SKS going again for him after he ignored it for a week after a day out playing.
6.8 had potential and if it had caught on would have been a great option but since it's hard to find brass for and there are very few options for factory loads it just seems like it is on the way out and not really worth investing in.

Just my opinion ymmv.

I've seen pics of the white ones before, but didn't make the "Stormtrooper" connection. That's hilarious! :)

Just like the white Tavor it's not the first time the connection has been made ;).

Well... Umm .. Have you ever been married? So I dropped the price to what I paid $2700, and hopefully I'll buy Loki's M, factionrr was right I should have bought a white M!

Yes, and despite my use of the force, "you want to make this trade", he insisted "Cash is King" which I believe is an upcoming quote from Yoda, now that Disney owns Star Wars...
