ACR 18,5'' barrel direct from factory !!!!!

[Duff350]

HI !

I was on bushmaster internet site.. and I saw the 18,5'' barrel is available:

''Tool-less, quick-change barrel system available in 10.5", 14.5", 16.5" and 18.5" and in multiple calibers''

http://www.bushmaster.com/firearms/acr.asp

Do you think it will be possible to import some of this beauty ?!

Thanks a lot

Probably not for a year.

From Gravel.

There will be two version available from Bushmaster ( one in 5.56 and one in 6.8SPC).
Those were supposed to be released prior but due to several production restraint and the current situation in the US, those won’t be produce this year.

Until further notice, both Sku’s should be launch next year.
We have been burn in the past announcing those high demand product but the current production schedule is changing so often that we could not even confirm when or if it will really be launch next year.

At least its better than getting everyones hopes up.

This is what I wanted to hear. The horror stories of the aftermarket ACR barrels kept me from getting one.

 

[Mr. Spectacular]

Bushmaster has listed a factory 18.5" barrel on their website for at least the last year or so.

Don't get your hopes up.

This isn't 'new' to the website as noted... it's been on there for as long as I can remember.

NR conversions from Ian at Herron Arms are sweet... no horror stories at all that I've heard of... I love mine, will likely drop my AR's all together. NR is huuuge for rifles for me.

At least we know they are working on it...
A basic folder factory 18.5 ACR is not something I could pass

i have the enhanced. now I need a NR barrell. argh.

 

[Hilo71]

Do not get your hopes up. BM has had that add up for a loooong time. Next year? maybe. But I wouldn't bet on it.

I would eat up a 10.5 and a 18.5 if they were available. Private imports are possible with a good import/exporter. But I will have better luck winning 649 this year.

 

[b_w.]

As said the website has had that up for several years.

The aftermarket nr barrel from Herron works great. Have not done any accuracy work with it yet but will soon. Will get its first 3 gun match on saturday where I expect it will perform flawlessly.

 

[Hilo71]

Yup. Gravel said summer of 2012, back in 2011. Well its 2013, and they are saying next year? that tells you something.

Hmm coincidence, I may see you at said match with something very similar....

Go to the Action Shooting Games section of the forum and see the thread on WRAS.

An ACR would be sweet, but I think with the buying situation in the States, we aren't going to see any resources dedicated to the Canadian market just yet.
