Please tell me it's not true!!!!

the long one looks very hk/g3/psg1 ish

i like

That's the first thing I thought of too and it's not a bad thing at all imho. I'm already trying think of a way to justify this on top of the XCR and AR .

 

[Yenner]

My only complaint about the buyout:

I prefer the Magpul logo to the poorly-drawn Bushmaster snake.

 

[Korporal]

Gimme.

 

[bluesclues]

a polymer XCR was the first thing that came to mind too. Which is good, cuz I really like the look of the XCR.

 

[b-wingpilot]

Didn't Bushmaster just get a .gov contract for some rifles? Rumors were that the rifles were for foreign service, so do we expect to see another country servicing the Masada?

 

[CanAm]

Maybe we'll see a camo version sold by Remington. Cyberus own BM and rem.

 

[heavenIsAlie]

well we know it wont be exported with a folding stock, bushmaster taking them is a good thing since it gives them the ability to manufacture more than one model

I had an idea there was a tie-in somehow, but could not remember who owned who.
Would a much bigger company (Cyberus) have more influence with the US Dept of State, regarding export? Or do they care about us?

 

[Kano]

I don't think it's going to matter whatsoever since the chances of US State Department approving this product for export to civilian end-users is pretty slim... but who knows... anything's possible.

Just don't get your hopes up. (Just my 2 cents worth )

Perhaps you can explain... How would something like this not make it across the border when you have AR18s, AR15s and XCRs coming steady?

 

[NavyShooter]

Market wise, it's a good thing.

We'll see what we end up with North of the border. I like rifle #3, but only if it's sub-MOA capable.

Cerberus will care if the quantity is large enough to make a difference to the bottom line. If it costs them more in hassle and labour $ than they are going to earn you can forget it. You won't see them put any heat on their US gov't contacts to get export permits for a few dozen or even a few hundred guns. Order a few thousand and watch out though.

If you wanna nitpick at least ACR sounds cooler than Masada.

 

[Armedsask]

A fixed stock versions gives us hope here in Canada.

 

[TheCanuck]

With a scary name like "Adaptive Combat Rifle", it's likely going to be restricted!

no it's not

 

[aftermidnight]

Didnt Cerberus just absorb DPMS a few weeks ago? They seem to sure be swarming this market.

 

[koalorka]

Are we talking about the same Cerberus private equity group that now owns Chrysler?

Yep! That's the one...Cerberus Capital Management.

Notable firearms related acquistions over the past year or so include:

Firearms - Acquired Bushmaster Firearms, Inc., from Windham, Maine native #### Dyke for an undisclosed sum in April 2006, and purchased Remington Arms in April 2007. Under Cerberus direction, Bushmaster Firearms acquired Cobb Manufacturing, a well-respected manufacturer of large-caliber tactical rifles in August 2007. Cerberus also announced the acquisition of DPMS Panther Arms in December 2007.[5]

I really dont think this will be a bad thing.. Bushy will get the ball rolling and has the facilities to make the ACRsadawhatever a reality. Good news.

 

[Bondo]

I'm still waiting to sell out . . . . . . . .

Anyone wanna pay me for a good Idea? please . . . . ?


At least they made a rifle, I'm still working on my anti Alien brainwashing hat . . . just ran out of tinfoil though : (

 

[P0WERWAGON]

well they have to sell the rifle in "ban" states, so there is a chance of export.
