Not technically AT the SHOT show, but I got to see it while down in Vegas.
It is the new (not yet released) XCR-M (Medium length chamber) in .308/7.62x51.
I forget (or didnt ask:redface:) what mag it uses, whether it is an FAL or its own proprietary type. And Alex didnt bring a mag to the photoshoot either.

Anyway, here it is. XCR-M on top, and standard XCR-L (light) below in first 2 photos.

Alex is well aware of the Canadian market and is working with Wolverine to get these approved to export/import.
 
Good choice in mags. DPMS has been using that system for a long time with their .308 rifles. Lots of affordable choices, and they work well.

Nice to see a sighting of the M(ystical) model. It will be interesting to see the accuracy results. Stiff competition right now with the introduction of the RFB to Canada. A year and a half ago, Robinson Arms would have taken the non restricted .308 Canadian market with ease. Excellent news for Canadian consumers since competition is always good for us. I look forward to seeing this rifle hit our market. Another modern Semi auto non restricted .308 is always a good thing.
 
Nice rifles, was thinking about picking up an L model , if I can get some registration papers back I can sell some un-used rifles to get the $2300..

Alex said perhaps 6 months.

Thats news I can live with if it is 6 months still before we see the -M being released or coming into Canada the timing couldn't be better for me...

We just sold our house and we're panicking looking at buying and fixing up to my wife's standards another house I will not be in any position to buy any guns for the next 6 months to a year and maybe even longer depending on what I have to put into it...

Leaving right now with our realtor... :D
 
These mags are usually described as DPMS pattern. So we could use Magpul and Cproducts mags.

In the AR-10 world, there are 2 families of mags: DPMS pattern and Armalite pattern. DPMS seems more modern and widely chosen by other makers like KAC and Remington.
 
308 rifles are all fine and dandy, but they'd sell better if there were acceptable/affordable surplus to shoot.

Is it ok'd by the manufacturer to shoot steel cased ammo from this rifle?
