I wonder how long it will be for Wolverine to bring these in? I got a 7.62x39 on order. Just wish there were cheaper 7.62x39 ammo that was non corrosive.

I just wish it had been made for the AK mags
I have a couple hundred hi-caps and the XCR would have been a buy for me.

I would suck up the at-times questionable quality of Robarm if it uses AK mags - I have my doubt about the C-product magazine system.

Give this gun another 1-2 years. New caliber means new problems.

Can this XCR use Surplus 7.62x39.
Doesn't the Ruger mini-30 (also in 7.62x39) have trouble with surplus ammo? Isn't the specs a little different with New (made in USA) ammo

This isn't a new gun just a different bolt barrel and magazine. They have been doing extensive testing on this mag and wouldn't release it unless the magazine worked as good as the 5.56 one. They could have released this back in december with a questionable mag but they waited until they were sure the magazine was good. I just hope we are able to buy this magazine for a reasonable price 30-40 bucks a mag and not 70-90 bucks.

The XCR in 5.56 fires anything you throw at in when it has been properly broken in (300 rounds) I am sure once this rifle is broken in it will be the same and spit out everything you feed it.

That was more of an issue with Ruger using .308 bore barrels, but nobody knocks them for making crap.
