I'm hoping this isn't a repost....

I did use the search but it's not working right for me.

Remington to Sell Civilian ACR Rifle in Early 2010
Filed under: News, ▫Articles — Tags: ACR, AR15 Replacement, Bushmaster, Magpul, Masada, Remington — Editor @ 8 am

This past week, Remington held a new products seminar in Kerrville, TX. While Remington tried to impose a “news embargo” through November 15, details leaked out about many of Remington’s new guns.

Remington Adaptive Combat Rifle ACR

The big news is the planned release of a civilian, semi-auto version of the Adaptive Combat Rifle (ACR). The Guns and Hunting Blog “spilled the beans”, revealing that Remington plans to sell a semi-auto ACR in the civilian market, starting in the first half of 2010. Based on a Magpul prototype, the ACR has been under development for two years, as a collaboration between Bushmaster and Remington. Price for the civilian ACR is expected to be under $2000, considerably less than the FN SCAR, a similar weapon now being tested by the U.S. Military.

It has been talked about a few times before, the fact it uses AR barrels including the 7.62X39 is more appealing than the SCAR, but just like everything else that goes bang, if they say early 2010, we won't see the first one in Canada for at least 12 months

They've been pushing the release date of the ACR back since 2008. Dunno what's going on over at Bushmaster / Magpul, but their PR team really needs to be looked at.

Probably fine tuning, trying to make some sales and develop production capacity. Its a lot of work a lot more then most people would guess.
 
Remington Military took the program over.

They are not doing anything publically until the Army new carbine tender and solicitation is released.

They DO need to take a metric buttload of weight out of the barrel.

I shot the 11.5" gun and it felt like 20" rifle...

Honestly... I think it's more politics then anything else.

Dev team says ready by this date.
PR team adds a little bit of time for safety's sake and say released by this date.
Admin team comes in, says stop work on this and work on that instead.
Dev team complies, finishes that 3 or 4 months and gets back to work on ACR
Repeat cycle.
 
What? I've never seen one of those before! Sweet!

What do the homos at the CFC got to say about it? Is it restricted? If I can get one (unrestricted) for two grand I will have one.

I'd buy a non-restricted in a heartbeat. Especially if a non-restricted 7.62x39mm conversion kit was offered!

From the website linked in the first post:


The first version of the ACR will be chambered in 5.56×45 mm, of course, but since a tool-less disassembly allows you to change bolt heads, barrels and magazines, the ACR can be user-configured to run with other cartridges as well. Ongoing development will focus on the 6.8 mm Rem. SPC, 7.62×39 mm, a yet-to-be-disclosed 6.5 mm round and the .30 Rem AR.”

Saw that, it's getting them to make them with 18.5"+ barrels that's the critical part.
