2014 SHot Show: Bushmaster ACR DMR 18.5"

[Davy Crockett]

More interested in just the barrel. Will they offer it seperate as the ACR has a quick change barrel system?

Could see that being a popular option to non restrict current ACR rifles.

+1

I'm surprised more people haven't mentioned this possibility. The rest of the rifle doesn't really appeal.

But...1:9 twist for Canada?

There's no reason to have 1:9 twist in a DMR, ever.

This article by TV-PressPass is saying the DMR is going to be 1:7, where did you hear 1:9 for Canada?

FWIW, the DMR ACR on the Bushmaster site is says (and shows) that it comes with the MOE polymer handguard.

Yes, the configuration dealers have been saying they will be getting is like this:

Does this come in 338 federal?

I emailed wolverine supplies concerning the twist rate and they responded me with a 1:9 twist

I figured out most of you guys have seen the picture so here is a quick impression of the rifle. First of all, the rifle on the rack comes with Geisele trigger. After squeezing the trigger, my guess is that it is a SSA. According to the Bushmuster rep, the G-trigger is standard to the DMR version.

The rifle does have a thick 18.5" barrel. Is it heavy?- hell yeh, but it does balance ok and does not feel front heavy On the other hand, it is not marketed as a run and gun rifle so it is what it is. My only complaint is that the handguard is a bit too short for a DMR rifle. I would like to more have estate so a bipod can be mounted more forwards.

I didn't know that Bushmaster made lasguns...

I'm reading the twist off of page 40 of the Bushmaster 2014 catalog. It's their specs table, and the ACR DMR is the only ACR listed with a 1:7. Everything else has always been 1:9

1 in 7 sounds pretty reasonable for a dmr rifle!

Fact checking ftw.

I don't see why the rifles shipped up here would be any different, but stranger things have happened.
