VERY nice rifle. Hope we can get our (greedy) hands on them...
I have to say, that's pretty damn impressive. And I would assume importable too in the fixed stock config. The forward ambi cocking handle seems like a good idea but I would hope they fold down a bit because they protrude out like "canards" right now. It's like the AUG got molested by the AR-15 and I like it.

I will certainly get one if it makes it up to canada. Nicer than the Massada I think.
I talked to the Magpul guys about that. I suggested the fold down styles for a less protrusive layout and making it less loose (All the ACR cocking handles at the shot show rattled huge. I tried 4 of them and they all rattle and feel cheap due to loose fits.
More parts to make them fold. Tight=jammable by the introduction of dust.
They know what they are doing... filing the serial numbers of an AR-180, and putting it in a prom dress!
mighty fine prom dress , though.I've got to comment, though: I did not find it "light". An AR is light. The ACR is not heavy, but it's not light, either.
"Civillian and Law Enforcement expected release date second quarter 2008."
Unfortunately the new name will put it high on the anti's wish list of firearms to ban - Bushmaster Adaptive Combat Rifle (ACR). Bad name given the upcoming election I would think. Bushmaster BunnyGun might be a better name - more entertaining if it were to be banned anyway.

I would sell my sister for a Masada.
I can only imagine having to actually use that goofy dig it out with a finger, then push in to lock G36 forward assist, while some howling freak in black pajamas comes after me with a panga machete.
I'll take big lumpy handles, thanks. Bonk then bang.
Watch the Gun Nazi's classify it as a varient of the AR15 because it uses AR trigger parts, though so does the AR180B, but as previously stated this is a "Combat" rifle and hence super evil. I hope it is not restricted though because I would be interested in one for sure.
This was the owners response (Rich Fitzpatrick...Magpul), on a question i asked (Lightfighter forum) about the charging handle options ...
" The charging handle and forward assist is steel with pinned polymer handles. The ones shown are the medium versions. We also have very small slim line version, a larger version and a super extended version that fold. This means that you can put a small handle on right and a large on your primary right side.
The location was a worry for me at first (I like the MP5 but hate the G3 charging handle) but it is within easy reach and now I prefer it compared to the original Masada concept. As for the two medium handles this is great for dual handed clearing of double feed malfunctions."
I wasn't jumping up and down when I read about the Masada.
But this 're-worked' and 'improved' version is actually quite nice.
And if it does go N/R.....(and the Lwrc) Just imagine the ammo shortage then if we can shoot these anywhere we want!!
