I have over 5000rounds of wolf alone, probably closer to 8000rounds total.
Zero, nadda, zilch hiccups of any kind. I love it! It has a trigger job now (just done recently, only have a couple hundred rounds on it), and it is definitely a worthwhile modification.
There are a couple of reasons alone that I like this better than my AR15's, ...1) The folding stock is just fun! 2) Less perceived recoil 3) Cleaning the XCR is a complete DREAM compared to the AR15's! 2000 uncleaned rounds in the XCR is equal to literally UNDER 100 rounds in the AR's 4) It looks cooler, and possibly even more evil :-D
That's about it. All of my AR's have thousands of rounds with zero malfunctions, and the XCR is on the same level of accuracy as the AR's. Take down is even more simple on the XCR. So, it does everything that the AR does plus some. You can't go wrong.

XCR review
I did use the XCR with an ACOG TA01 for Close Quarter Carbine School, and it did loose the ejector screws, but CEO Alex Robinson Overnighted the offending parts, I put them back together (with some "blue" Loc-Tite) and it rocked on with a total of 1000 rounds for the class, no cleaning, and no other malfunctions except those that were shooter (me) induced. I should have read the instructions and tightened the screws.
It's a good piece of gear and I'd like another one in .308 ASAP. At the moment they are offering a conversion kit in 6.8 SPC. In the next few weeks they will be offering a 6.5 and sometime after that 7.62x39.
I like the idea of 5.56 and 7.62x39 out of the same rifle with just the swap of a bolt, extractor (?), barrel, and magazine. I'm still going to give the SCAR a very serious look, who am I kidding, yeah I'm gonna get one. And probably an HK416 & 417 too.
Who ever wins the race in getting these new rifles out on the market, FNH vs. HK, is the first to get my cash. Are you listening FNH and HK?
I will never get rid of my XCR, it has too many positive attributes, 1913 rails all around, folding stock, multi caliber, free floating barrel, 1 MOA with the 16" pencil barrel (I've heard from a bud who also owns one), and made and designed in the USA.
Semper Fi!

I have to say, I've shot one of these a few times. And I really enjoyed it. It is a great firearm to own. I think it is kind of crazy to try and build something comparable will cost you $400 to $600 more too.

I had an XCR on order when they came out for a LONG time, then after getting charged 2x and lied to my face for 8 weeks after it 'shipped' per RobArms, I canceled it and told them to shove it.
Afterwards I held one and shot one at the range and I don't really like the weight of it. It is a chunk of milled metal basically. Way heavier than my AR's. Not saying they are not good or reliable, but I passed on them.
On the other hand, I shot a Sig 556 and I was impressed. With some new aesthetics like a handguard, it would make a sweet piston operated rifle. Highly accurate , little recoil and not too expensive. I might get one in the future when I get tired of my other rifles.

Is the Sig 556 a Piston System like the XCR?
