Ok so I installed the factory trigger and fired 150 rounds flawless through it. Shooting Sight I inspected the rear of the bolt and it appears your trigger was barely catching the side of the slot. I can see the bottom left edge is rounded off compared to the other side. I measured the width of both triggers and got .127. Yours has pretty square corners on the face of the hammer where as the beretta has a chamfer on the edges. I believe it may be from what you stated above about the bolt. The most consistent time I had light strikes was with a full mags, which would be putting more tension on the bolt hindering it to line up perfectly with the hammer maybe? Since I posted, I had another person complain of light strikes, and they also saw the very edge of the hammer getting chewed up. You are correct, Beretta has chamfered those edges, and I am going to modify the design to do that as well. If you want to send it back to me, I'll modify it for you. I had chamfered the lower left and upper right edges, as I was focusing on the bolt's ability to rotate out of battery, where it might have to cam the hammer back. Not sure if the issue is tolerence stack up, though then I'd expect light strikes most or all the time, rather than occasionally; or if it is inconsistency in the rotation of the bolt. I'll go back and look at the Beretta lowers I own. I bought a half dozen of them to do the development, and recall seeing that one had a bright finish on the hammer face, as if it had been ground after it was parkerized, so perhaps Beretta has been managing an issue here, and that is why the added the chamfer in the first place. |

Yes not only does it need some better irons but some that also sit lower. The ARX doesn't need a cheek riser, it needs optics mounted lower. |

What works really well are the CZ low sights, like the ones on the EVO. I have the low mount with my MRO and when mounted on the ARX it was perfect along with the CZ sights. That's the direction I'm going. |

I had in-stock notifications setup across a bunch of the drop-ship FFL dealers. TSSOutfitters and CenterfireGuns.com were both cheaper than Bud's and without the credit card nonsense. CenterfireGuns was more expensive by like $10 but I already had my FFL's info with them from buying my ACR through them earlier this year, so convenience won out. |

That local store is the Beretta Gallery so they probably know what's up. |

Picked up my Botach ARX from the dealer today. Very happy. It was even a LE rifle with 2 mags. I was surprised as Botach was cheaper than the price I was quoted for the ARX from a LE dealer for the LE price. Box was marked with 300BLK as an option, along with the 5.56. I hope they release a 300BLK barrel.

$1200 if you want the 13" Scar 17 barrel. I opted to just have my factory 16" chopped to 13". Saved me $1100 lol. |

And recoil on my SBR Scar 17 is similar to a factory Scar 17. It may have a little more recoil but it's due to the factory Scar coming with a PWS muzzle brake and I'm using a Surefire Warcomp flash hider.

Picked up my FDE ARX100 today. Yep, still an ARX.
Haven't had a great deal of time to break it down to see if there are any internal changes, but it superficially appears the same as my original black ARX100, so pretty likely Beretta didn't sneak anything new in. They did a shoddy job on the rail pin, but that was a quick fix with a punch and a hammer.
WHAT'S IN THE BOX?! + One Beretta ARX100 "FDE" (still marked with Accokeek on the receiver) + One Beretta steel mag, in more of a black finish than the gray-ish ones the black ARX came with + One sling + One soft case + Pre-installed bottom rail in matching "FDE" color - no BUIS; somewhat annoyed as I found the factory ones "acceptable" as back up sights, but I guess it isn't a huge deal - no bottom rail cover; fair trade maybe? I'm not sure where the rail cover for the black ARX is anyway I say "FDE" as it is much, much more of a coyote brown than FDE. I love the hue. Took a side-by-side with my coyote ACR to show the similarity. Anyway, enough of the "bullshit talk" as Rob Ski says, on to some quick pics! 
That's a Magpul RVG in FDE, much lighter in color than the Beretta. But you can see how close the ARX and ACR are. 
Two Beretta unicorns!

Finally some pics.
A little disappointed that it doesn't come with the smooth lower rail cover though... I wonder if it will be available separately on the Beretta site. Also, I wish that the top and side rails were anodized FDE instead of coated in Cerakote. It wouldn't bother me that the FDE anodized rails wouldn't match everything else on the rifle. All first world problems though I guess...

Last I looked, Buds was up to $1750.

I watched the MAC video on the ARX and he talked about how the rear of the rail would come loose. Supposedly Beretta put another bolt through the rear of the rail to fix the problem. Have guns started coming out of the factory with that rear bolt? Do the FDE models have the new rear bolt?
