XCRs in 6.8

[XCRmonger]

wait until I post that the state department gave us approval before you buy a ton of ammo. Just to be sure. After that it will be probably around 2 months before they ship - so you will still have plenty of time.

Suhweeet! Time to ditch a couple of guns to make room in the safe!

Please keep us updated!

Will do Terra.
I've only ordered loading dies and one box of ammo, so far.

Terra, if the 6.8 is approved, the next time you should try for some 16" 6.8 barrels. Maybe the state dept will give you the go ahead.

XCR monger - is there a gas port size difference between a 12.5 and a 18" verosn?

6.8 is neat but ammo is a pain for selection and availability. .308 is much more useful and will have a much larger market in Canada. What .308 mags are you guys planning to use?

.17HMR conversion kit with a 30 or 50 rnd mag would be awesome too! Although I am probably the only one who would buy such a gimmick.

+1 .... and for the mags; please make your 308 XCR compatible with a bolt-action 10rd magazine, such as Rem700 SPS-DM or AIA M10 No.4mk4.

Thanks

The magazines are already been decided on a long time ago and they are the DPMS mags.

Does this mean the XCR in .308 will feed from any AR-10 platform magazine? I thought I read somewhere that it was going to utilize the G3 mags. AR10's are $40-50 ea. while G3's are 1- for $50... just think'n...

OK, I'm going to say suggest something no one else has.
The new Remington round, the .30 Rem AR

It is a short, wide round with an OAL short enough to fit in an AR-15 magwell.
Yet it has lots of bonk, much more than the 7.62x39, although still below the .308 Win round.
And its not military, so the DOS should not throw a hissy fit over export.

 

[daedra83]

So what is gonna be the price range?

 

[XCRmonger]

I can't really give you a price range - after export costs and everything else, the price is up to Wolverine. We don't have a US price yet, either. We won't know until the design is finished and in production.

The last the engineers told me was they were planning to use DPMS magazines.

I really like my XCR.......but before you ship anymore up, make sure all the bloody bolts are tight would you!!!

 

[tritium]

Hey Terra,

When do you think the final design will go into production? I thought the design was heading into production.

Let us know... I'm still very interested.

 

[Smoothbore]

Thank you for all the updates!
Great customer service and much appreciated up here.

lol they've been rock solid for a while now!

 

[Rutger]

How about offering a limited addition (read "custom order) XCR "Pistol" configuration. THEN you can supply us with labeled 10 rnd pistol mags!

 

[Throttle_monkey1]

So terra you got me confused. Is the 6.8 in production or design phase? The 308 is in design phase still right?
