They're different brands owned by the same company.
In RE: the picture I'm not seeing the ambi charging handle. The last iteration I saw, I thought it had a 'true ambidextrous' handle (ie: one on each side). And it looks like they photoshopped something off the rail, just above the laser and below the charging handle slot. |

Look at the angle of the sun. That is the shadow of the front Flip up sight. |

I wonder if they can give us a progress update.
Also, if it ever is released to the public, I hope they do it better than FN did. |

Yes, but Bushmaster makes all of the R-15s for Remington and DPMS makes all of the R-25s for them as well. Remington does not currently make any AR type rifles at their factory. I suspect that it is the same way with the ACR, that if these claims are correct, Bushmaster is making a 'military' edition for Remington. |

Maybe they want to use some of the Remington factory capacity for "black" guns because that's what's selling and they can get some market share with the ACR. |

I've revised my thoughts on the whole thing. I've got a DPMS with Magpully goodness on it, so meh. Well, I'll have Magpully Goodness on it when the backorder clears

Freddie Blish (Aimpoint's director of MIL sales) reports back from the '09 NDIA Small Arms Symposium that Remington will be producing the ACR for mil/LEO sales in 5.56, 6.5, and 6.8. Obviously, all these are just a quick barrel/bolt swap to change calibers.
No word from LtCol Blish on non-LEO civilian sales. |

so basically since they are making it for military and leo sales i guess we will see it in the same quanities as the sig 552 and HK G36. next to nothing in terms of market presences.
i still dont understand there desire to ignore the civilian market in favor of a LE/MIL market. there have been more FS2000 sold to civilians then LE/mil users. give the scar a few months and there will be more in civy hands then SF hands. look i hope it makes it to market but i guess time will tell |

yes and no, they market the product to whom ever they chose so in that regard no, but at the same time it will be quite some time till a new weapon is selected to replace the m4.
with that being said in the mean time the ACR could be put out in significant numbers in order to attain an idea of what issues may surface once the weapon is mass produced. with nobama going al out on everything but military spending, im not to sure how interested he will be in replacing the m4 with something new that would require significant testing at say APG, dugway, yuma, or any other major testing center, that cost a retardedly stupid amount of money with the scar being pretty simial in capabilities, and having all ready undergone and paid for such testing, and is all ready in the pipline/system. its going to be an uphill battle to get a foothold on the m4 replacement when one comes. i do love the ACR, and do want to see it come to market because i do think it is one of the better concepts/rifles out there |

If they get it to the public I think the big thing will be price point. |

Guys, if they sell it to LEOs through distributors, it will find it's way to the civvy market. Look at the LEO only Colts.

So the Remington is handling the military version of the ACR, while the civilian version will be followed up by Bushmaster? Or will we see all ACRs under the Remington name?

I have tried to stay away for the Masada play-by-play and speculation, but I'll hang out in case someone knows something about the Massoud in .308
