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!
