Did you guys see this on the ACR FB page? Ill see if I can import one thru prophet river
Please tell me more about the benefits, looks cool.
Considerably lighter and you can swap grips.

Factory stripped lower weighs 8.6 oz w/ built in grip.
NT stripped lower weighs 4.3 0z w/out grip.
Nt has user choosable grips, larger mag release fence. Cost $650 usd, 3d printed out of a CF/polymer blend and hand finished a rediculous sum of hrs before being cerakoted.
Will it take regular AR Geissele triggers vs the specialized ACR Geissele? Thanks guys.
You do know that you can swap any AR trigger in the ACR? I have a super 3 gun in mine.
I recall reading somewhere that they won’t guarantee the plastic ACR safety won’t fail with a regular Geissele.
You just have to bend the hammer spring in, mine has popped out once.
Thanks a lot, that site never appeared in my acr+Canada searches, weird.
I was curious about the gas system and wrench to make a complete barrel if I decide to buy a barrel off the EE

Still accepts standard ACR trigger pack and safety, you can install any none drop in trigger in the ACR trigger housing, the comment by Geissele on the topic of the safety not necessarily working is an ass covering comment because they dont want to be held liable for your faulty modification (bending the hammer spring so it properly works with the safety.
I have a Geissele SD-E in mine, works fine but had to file a bit of bulk off the front of the trigger shoe that was interfering with trigger manipulation due to the low clearence between the shoe and the roll pin that the hammer spring legs rest on to keep tension.

Sounds like 2018 will have some caliber kits from Bushmaster, and more then just hand guards from Midwest industries.
I wonder if they could do a short 9mm assembly, lol. Never mind the 10" 300blk.
Thanks for the hand guard video link
Even better, I have a non restricted 300BLK conversion
I'd love a 9mm conversion as well but that might be an expensive kit.
I went with a carbine length gas system to aid in cycling but ended up bending the op rod I had re-profiled so I replaced it with a new factory one that I simply shortened and I don't run the op rod guide. Took a couple tries on the gas port size and now it cycles supersonic and subsonic no problem and is really smooth shooting. Been 100% reliable since the new op rod as well. This is a custom made barrel from a McGowan blank made by a friend in Calgary and I put the rest together at home.

I wonder what the other parts will be...
They said it’s prototype maybe the final design will look different.
Should make an ultra lightweight carbon fibre version, lighter than rpm if possible.
