XCR-L, can it be built better?

Your wrong. The XCR is capable of 100mm groups (with optics, 150mm without) at 100m and will fire 800 rounds before a single stoppage. Battle standards criteria. There is also something about ease of maintenance, but I don't feel like looking for it in my paperwork. Suffice it to say the XCR is capable of the to, considering it has 5 parts field stripped.

Further more, every single screw on that gun is torqued as such; hand tight plus 1/4 turn (except the barrel screw and another one, I can't remember which, I'd have to check. They have torque poundage) yes the barrel is retained by a screw, BUT it is secured by the bolt and head space (weapon won't fire if the bolt isn't seated in the barrel extension). So retaining method is immaterial. Barrel is an aftermarket barrel to adapt to our laws. The chamber is 556 even though stamped 223 for export.

Are you in the military?

I wish that a M-16A1 that Uncle Sam gave me when I was 19 years old would have spit out 800 rounds with out a jam! 800 is pretty darn good, and I bet the rifle is not at fault.

I'm pretty sure that's the new standard, and the old standard for the trials was 400.

And I forgot, strapped to a bench and mechanically fired, group can't be more then 33mm at 100m.

So, 2 screws to be torqued; barrel bolt is 200 inch pounds in a helicoil so no loctite needed. And op rod is 250 inch pounds with blue loctite. All rest of screws is snug + 1/4 turn.

I've heard that "colt machinery" non-sense about factories in Argentina and Philippines too. This guy's "insider" info is a load of steaming ####. No idea why people care to spread such misinformation around.

You just gave credibility to my claims that I'm too lazy to go find myself, thanks bud. Being that I'm half way across the country from you and your in depth description then I gave is.

That'd be a wtf moment, you're marching off to war and they hand you an xcr, lol !
An ar at half the price is twice the rifle...

Disregarding your obsessive bench shooting criterion, please explain why an AR half the price is twice the rifke. I'm genuinely curious.

Accuracy.
Weight.
Reliability.
Cost.
Parts availability.

You can't actually try to argue, with a straight face, that you think an xcr is a better rifle on any level than a comparably priced ar (bcm, noveske, etc.) ?

Accuracy is as good
Weight is comparable with the proper barrel
Reliability is better
Cost is comparable
Parts is questionable, considering it's a small company
