Ive been playing with the idea of getting an XCR for a few years now.Well i finally went and did it and boy am i disappointed.The amount of play between my upper and lower makes the Norc m4 i had look amazing.I mean the fact that you can even compare a 600 dollar rifles fitment to that of a 2k plus rifle is just a big giant ridiculous failure.Yes i fully understand that a small amount of play is completely normal, and im also aware that the wobble has no bearing on accuracy or function.But this is just ridiculous,i can literally shake the rifle and watch the upper and lower move around as well as hear the noise it makes! When im trying to sight this rifle in and it wobbles all over the place it feels cheap and makes me want to throw it in the creek.
Let me put it to you this way.If a company made a bicycle for example and the handlebars on the bike wobbled and you could shake them around BUT you could still steer the bike,would you buy a bike from that company...for 2 grand!! when you can buy waaaaaaay cheaper ''bikes'' that do not have those fitment issues.
And what pisses me off even more is that RA basically has a ''to bad so sad'' attitude in regards to this.A quick search online shows im not even close to the only person to complain about this issue.One of the suggestions from RA was to ''paint the rifle to tighten it up'' are you seriously kidding me?
And yes ive talked to RA about this.I was politely told ''live with it'' This post should serve as a warning to anyone that has OCD like tendencies like i do.There is a big chance that your rifle will have a level of slop you will not find acceptable,that being said there is also a good chance your rifle will lock up tight.Its basically a 2 thousand dollar crap shoot on which one you will get.
...Should of bought a SA
