Those flat things on the side of the receiver - for a sling?

No, they're for making spaghetti.

Very nice, GT. I was reading about this rifle a week or two ago on that guns.ru website. It definitely looks promising.

US production. Grrrr. This means more US export BS. In otherwords if these do get in it'll be by a third party importing them and the price will be high.

You must mean Tagliatelle - too flat for spaghetti. In a round-about way, you're answered my question, so thanks.

Change the styling of the stock, and it'd kinda look like a G-36!

I missed the boat years ago on the AR70/90 series. Damned if I miss this one.

I want!

They won't make a non-restricted barrel length. The question was asked today in LV

Just like all the new toys at shot show, they get us all fluffed up only to find out it will be years before they are imported into Canada.
I guarantee it will be years before stoeger can imports these.

Don't mean to burst any bubbles hear...its just the way it goes!

Yeah me too. The stock is ugly as hell. But the gun itself kick ass. I dont want to buy an ACR anymore since I watched another thread (overpriced, weight issues...). So I'm gonna buy the ARX, if it becomes available in Canada one day.

That is one impressive rifle, with tons of potential.

I'm not a fan of the way it pukes out smoke and crap in your face out of the non selected ejection port.. I guess that's the 'ambi cost'.

Cover the side you're not using with duct tape. Problem solved.

The Canadian sub of Beretta should try to import it directly from Italy.

I wish we had taken video of the rep showing us the disassembly and reassembly of the gun. The design is quite interesting.

Cool features but it just looks huge to me something like a HK SL8 so as of now I do not have any interest in this rifle mind you I am really only interested in a rifle I can hunt with like the XCR.
