I suppose, but this is the interweb. Videos suck without "Happy endings"

Whatever, you get the idea but since thats not going to happen either way I'll just take one in .308.
Hi Terra,
Thanks for the video........ very impressive.
I notice that sometimes the first round fired sounds a bit different than the following rounds. I suspect that this may be due to the residual water still in the barrel and the gas system venting the extra pressure because of this water.
The piston driven gas system is one of the nicest features of the Robinson XCR rifles. Piston driven is my choice for performance and reliability.
Cheers !!!!

I see in another thread that Wolverine supplies said that the 7.62x39 barrels would not be chrome lined.
Interesting video Terra. I was impressed that when he lifted the rifle out of the water, he did not point the barrel down and crack the bolt to drain water from the barrel. That used to be US Army procedure. When the M16 was going through trials, the procedure was modified to drain water from the barrel by pinting the barrel down and opening the bolt prior to firing. Reason for the change was that the bore was so small the water was retained by capillary action in the bore. That stretches science a bit, but you change the rules to achieve your objectives. As I said, interesting video and will have to seek out a dealer to put some fingerprints on your product.
I'd still clean it. It's called corrosive for a reason.

I always love seeing the "over the beach" tests. Terra, do you guys have any videos of running say 1000ish rounds full auto through it at a time to show reliability purposes under extended fire?
Wow. That really changed my preception on the XCR. Up until now, I just thought of it as "another piston modular rifle". Instead it's actually another piston modular rifle with kick ass functionality! If I could get one in the subcarbine category, I'd definitely be interested in owning one. However, the price range is somewhat steep atm...
We could probably do something like that on video. I've done it before. When we were testing the new trigger prototype, Alex, me, and one of our beta testers went out and put 2000 rounds on full auto through it. We wanted to see how the trigger would wear - but it was fun in the meantime. Next time we do some testing like that, I'll make sure to catch it on video.
