Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By 556Cliff: Just the side rails? Or did you have to remove the top rail and barrel guide too? The Torx slots in those screws deform very easily... They will look mangled if they get 30 inch pounds, which is what Beretta said the torque spec was, so I messed up a couple screws during installation before I made some adjustments.  |

If anyone is looking for an ARX but doesn't have an Academy close to them but does have a Cabela's, the Cabela's in Greenville, SC has a "used" one in their Gun Library. It can be sent to any other Cabela's. I believe it is unfired, but the paper that wraps around the forend has come off due to handling. The price is 849.99.

So is the ARX faux passe, fell out of tacticool style? Is it being discontinued or what? Seems as if there has been a resurgence of interest and sales to back it up. There seems to be more push back of the typical arfcom "only the stuff I like isn't gay" types ARX bashing lately. I'm sure I read some where someone pointing out all the things they didn't like with looks being top of the list and somewhere it "weighed" more than a M4. Yep many went in to correct that info for mr. gun expert that he was. The price is right. And that is it's right there with the price of a Mini-14.
GB prices seemed to have gone up. |

GB prices have gone up most likely because the sellers figure people are going to want them when and if the supply dries up. Frankly, GB is a lot like a gun show these days.
Is anyone bidding on those high auctions? That will tell you what people are willing to pay. |

I worry they’ll drop support without capitalizing on one of its nearest features. They would sell tons of these if they would throw out caliber, barrel profile, and barrel length conversions. Stainless match 16/18” barrels, SBR barrels (that intermittently exist?), 300BLK, 7.62X39, 6.8SPC, 6.5G. This rifle holds so much promise and I really hope they’ll invest in it rather than abandon it. Expanding with the large frame would be an incredible step in the right direction. |

They already have the CHF tool for mfging barrels. The heavy lifting design work for the AK lower is already done, only requiring a mod for semi only trigger, which is also essentially done via the 5.56 lower. The biggest/slowest hurdle would be the red tape approval process. |

Problem is there's only one .gov agency touted as using ARXs- Fresno PD. Unknown if they use the semi -100 or select fire -160.
If Beretta actively marketed the ARX to .gov users, they might get some bites, but they're still a niche rifle in a sea of ARs. |

Well, if they didn’t raise their distributor price to match, it would just me less dollars for them. So, it doesn’t sound like it would be in their best interest, but who knows?! All I know is I’m happy to have my SBR and get it when and how I did! Paid $799 at Academy, bought the Botach SBR kit, kept the 10”, sold the 16” and the rest of the SBR kit to break even. So, it as if I got the SBR for $799! In addition my paperwork was approved in 11 days. Things usually never works out that well for me. My other gun projects usually cost an arm and a leg and take forever, sometimes years. Good times
