2014 SHot Show: Bushmaster ACR DMR 18.5"

[greentips]

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.

The fact that is come standard with the G-Trigger is awesome. One less upgrade to add.

Whats the difference between the two in that picture?

Here we go, this is what I want to know about. I know it is still early in the report, but could you report more on items like these? By that I mean more potential non restricted for Canada. Its nice to see more options for us instead of a "new" AR that is going to be restricted or an AR that has a suppressor which we also can't have fun with.

Well dressed

They now have the DMR on the bushmaster website with a slightly longer front handguard

We will have longer handguards available

 

[Kanwar88]

We will have longer handguards available

As an initial option ? Or as a seperate purchase ? It would be nice to get one with longer hand gaurd right away, and with a geiselle trigger it's a done deal : )

 

[Farmboy]

Separate option.

I have a question. Is your coverage of Shotshow 2014 just going to be the usual tactical stuff?
Personally, I'd be curious to know if the Polish VIS 35 (commonly referred to as the RADOM) makes an appearance this year.
If you have the time, and the VIS 35 shows up, I'd appreciate some (any) information and photographs you can post.

Thanks
