The RCMP are probably just gona reclassify the ACR to restricted anyway along with many others this fall.. beware ..
Dum Dum? That's mature. It was determined in previous posts on the subject that the picture that was posted for the ACR ad was indeed the rifle ordered. It was a typo about the standard fore end in the ad. I believe Sask. Gun works "Canadian" version does have the quad rail. Also since I do not work at Questar and am not privy to their stock of merchandise, I am unaware if they ordered 4 enhanced, 4 basic or a combination of said ACR's, making your assumption that all 4 of them will have the collapsable stock and quad rail speculation at best. My point in my last statement was that the only for sure difference was the izzy break and the extra 2.2" on the SS barrel.

Since Questar's ACR's aren't the watered down "Canadian" versions, expect to pay about, $4,200 or more. I believe the base rat versions still go for about $3,900.
It's a tough call, they're nice units forsure but at those prices a Swiss rifle with NEA lower may trump it. The guys that pre-ordered the SCAR's paid about $4,500. If that were me, at those prices it would've been way easier to justify a battle proven SCAR over the new unpredictable ACR...
Jus my 2cents
First of all, those were the figures dealers and the likes were throwing around when the ACR was first a thought, your staff included. However, I should have been more clear that the numbers I was using were "to your door" pricing. I always use "all in" numbers because thats the number that counts on the credit card statement. My applogies for not being more clear.The FN SCAR's sold for $3,699.99 (plus tax) not $4,500 as you stated;
- On the Questar Non-Restricted ACR's, I have no idea where you pulled that "$4,200 or more" guess from, it's simply laughable.
- We're expecting the Basic ACR with our 18.7" non-restricted barrel to be @ $2,899.99 to $2,999.99 (plus tax and shipping)
My point was that the Canadian versions are very basic and still worth a pretty penny. BTW another forsure differance is also the folding stock, IIRC Questar was the only dealer that managed to get any of the enhanced versions.
If I don't get one of the first ones off of the line, there better be a solid range review with pics. Don't be selfish, you lucky few.
I know we also have a @ 12" ACR that we built and test fired. It's really a nice gun (balance is outstanding)... not sure if we'll sell that one or hang on to it.

The "Canadian" ACR version is black with the fixed stock and aluminium tri-rail/hand guard, just to clarify. Price was $3,125 plus applicable taxes/etc.
I don't believe there's a flash hider on the ACR, but since the plan was to always strip the factory barrel to utilize Questar's 18.7" NR match one instead - I didn't really care one way or the other (incidentally, the NR barrel is reportedly much lighter than the factory).
Add the folding/collapsible stock and flash hider and I'm all set.
Mark, what are the chances of obtaining the piston and quick-release assemblies for the ACR from Bushmaster; slim to none...?

Mark,
Any possibilities of sending our uppers in and having your team do the barrel?
Thanks!
I'd definitely be interested in that 12" ACR. Also, anyone know roughly what it costs to get a barrel parkerized so we can have a black barrel on one of these?
EDIT: Also don't see the other ACR rifles on the website, are they in the process of being added?
