Just watch the video on youtube vid on SCAR barrel change (don't loose the bit to your barrel change tool). To FNH's credit it is better than changing an AR barrel . Wow. Watching that almost put me to sleep. As far as Magpul's competition goes, given some of the attitudes I've seen in the gun industry (I won't name any names, but the biggest offender's name starts with "H" und "K"), the competition probably thought it was cute that the little magazine pully thingy company made their own gun and didn't expect the response it received or even expect it to go into production. And then pretty much got the same effect as being blindsided and smacked in the face with a crowbar. Lots of companies seem to be stuck in the "We can make an AR too!" mindset when it comes to rifles and "We can make a 1911 too!" mindset when it comes to pistols.

The .308 in back looks fantastic, I can't wait to see one with a PRS stock (similar to Shot08 images) but all black. How many of the development ACR/Masada platforms do you guys have? I'm just curious if they're T&E, or still in incremental product improvment mode.

I see a revenue-producing opportunity for you. $5 to cap off a couple rounds? Could help out with gas money. Just sayin'

Have thought about this too but I'm just too lazy. Any plans on changing the molds to do this? I tried it to see if it helped guage a round count. Not sure if it's the way my brain works or not but it did not help. I know approx. how may rounds are in there no sweat w/o the markings. That said...... As for now we are not releasing any information on products that may or may not be in the works. We're always looking for new ways to improve on existing products and explore the boundaries of new ideas. Thanks.

By any chance can you tell me the bbl length on the pics of the ACR with the stock folded on this page? There's so much we only have to speculate on due to a lack of information on bbl lengths. Thanks for more pics!
