Ahaha, yeah right! I should have thought so!
As for the price of the Elcan, sorry for your nostrils!
Just wait for a nice sale or if you can find a deal... Got mine for 1100$ CAN. Even though, they worth the dough! As for the BDC, I didn't had the chance to go shoot my XCR past 200 meters.
So for the BDC, tip of the chevron was dead center @ 100 meters (Zeroed @ 100 meters).
For 200 meters, it's supposed to be around the middle of the chevron.
For the 300 meters mark, it's the tip of the black vertical line or if you want, the tip of the chevron's legs...
Otherwise, the BDC lines for 400 meters up to 800 meters are supposed to work.
As for your question about the bolt sticking back, i've already answered the question on the XCR Forum (5.56 section)...
I'll quote you what I wrote:

ahh many thanks Z. i should wander over to the xcr forum more often..
one can only hope that he finds one kicking around for such a price.
You're welcome!
That deflector screw made me wonder for days, before I found a solution!
My XCR in 5.56 has arrived (yea!)
A couple of issues I have noticed: the bolt hold open that runs up behind the mag-well has a wedge on top with a forward pointing tab. That tab can pivot out the top round when the mag is inserted - on both C-product and LAR15 mags.
has anybody else had this?
it looks like I will have to file that back, or not seat the rounds to the back of the mag.
Other issue is the BUIS, has anyone replaced the MI's with ones with a fibre optic front post, I'm also looking for something lower profile to get nearer to the bore profile.
thanks, zeb

Today it broke
Ok so after 600 rounds of no problems, no failures, today it broke down. It turns out a piece in the trigger assembly broke.
Needless to say I am superpissed. This shouldnt happen and a mil spec gun should have issues like that. Sadly, what the haters say about the XCR is at least partially true.
Still I like the rifle, but reliability is questioned.

Random failure of one single part is hard to predictable.
Ok here we go:
The red arrow points at the piece that broke off. It broke off of the piece just left of the safety cylinder. You can see a round shape where a spring was located and left of it the breaking point.
The piece looks cast (not sure) maybe something beefy machined from nice tough steel may be better. Maybe I will make one.
I emailed Robarms last night and this morning I had an email offering to send me a new part right away. So lots of credit to the customer service. There was no dicking around so far!
I just realize that the break should have turned the rifle into fully auto .. however it didnt. When the piece broke it rapidfired two rounds and then wouldnt really fire anymore. The broken piece got stuck under the trigger piece so that may also have prevented the gun from firing.
More updates when more parts or info come in.

I already received a replacement (free of charge) from Wolverine! Installation took 5 minutes and the XCR is ready to go
Kick ass service from Wolverine!

Glad to hear that your situation got taken care of
I was wondering if anyone who is using the Dlask stock adapter could tell me whether I will need a mil-spec or a commercial buffer tube? Thanks!
both commercial and mil spec tubes uses the same thread.Glad to hear that your situation got taken care of
