One thing worth considering on the flip side of the MCR's pricing is that it still comes in at roughly 2/3 the cost of the FN Minimi/M249 and is half the weight of that platform as well. With 9' of Belt-lift, the MCR has plenty of the mechanical "torque" necessary for reliable belt-fed operation. As a result, the current MCR is a very reliable system. Mine never had a stoppage (that I can recall) that was attributable to the firearm. That was what took Jeffrey Herring, the designer and CEO of Fightlite Industries, 15 years to continually tweak and optimize.
Had any military unit adopted the MCR, even in limited numbers, I would probably still have mine. It is an excellent platform capable of sustained fire with its appropriately heavy MG-weight Barrels. However as a purely civilian Light Automatic Rifle/Light Machinegun, the MCR didn't really have a place within my collection of major military handgun, submachinegun and rifle designs of the late 20th and early 21st Centuries. Plus it was a lot of hobby money to have tied up in what amounted to a novelty flex at the range....
