I love it, it's got the 12.5" barrel from Marvin... and routinely rings the gong at 425yds offhand.  Is probably my favorite 556 rifle

Yeah, i've said it before that I should have gone with the 12.5" barrel over the 10.5".  Maybe I will switch it out some day.

Thanks.  I just sent RPM an e-mail regarding a carbine length in coyote.  

ETA:  I have a coyote shorty on order.

I finally received my RPM rail after a 4 week wait and it was well worth it.  Pics don't do it justice, this rail completely changes the feel of the ACR due to the lightweight and slim profile.  Many thanks to HK94dude for the tip.

First I have tried and have both KM and mlok.
For me it is much easier to install accessories  on KM...
Can anyone provide a weight for the basic handguards vs the ones Buddyhoohaw pictured?

I might give it another try...

I'm new to the ACR club.  Love the rifle - so far.  Added an ACOG to it.

Bought this one used from a member.  great condition except for some minor scratches here and there.  Is the finish kind of weak on these?

Nice ACR. When I had one I experienced the same thing with the brown paint but I do believe there is clear anodizing under the paint.

I wouldn't say the finish is weak, it's just well used. That old version brass deflector shows it's an older production rifle. You will get wear on the finish around the ejection port and brass deflector with lots of use.

Can you see through that ACOG well? It's mounted really far forward and the 4x32 ACOG is not known for it's generous eye relief.

The coyote rifles are just cerakoted, the black ones are anodized.  I scraped the cerakote clean off my rifle where my charging handle is.  I was testing/developing my folding charging handles.  I plan on stripping my rifle completely, sandblasting it and hitting it with another coat of cerakote to see if it holds better the second time around.

I installed the M-lok hand-stop and it functions well with the RPM rail.  Now, where can I find a folding charging handle?

Finally got mine. I refused to go featureless (Re: CA) and so I had my magazine release blocked internally (it's a reversible modification). Same goes for the stock.

So, aesthetically it's identical to any other one. 
Now I want to get that 16" barrel cut and pinned and welded. I never liked long barrels anyway.

Shot mine (300 rounds) on SoCal BLM land yesterday and it was so nice. 

A real pleasure to shoot. I didn't notice much less recoil than my usual AR15s, though I did notice that it has a tendency to not flip much up. 

Nice.

I am ordering one just as soon as I can locate it on the damn site. LOL I am glad to see the recent Resurrection of the ACR. I have owned one for a while and it remains my go to critter along with a 300BLKOUT ARAK21 AR. 

Back when Marvin first did the cutdown down job along with dimples.



Today she sits behind the bedroom door for bumps in the night. Unless we are going out to shoot of course.

I just picked up a new ACR Enhanced yesterday. My wife and I saw it at Sportsman's Warehouse last week marked down to $1499. I've always wanted one, but kinda being more into the clone side of things I just never bought one. That price had me thinking about that all week, and then when I saw the $150 rebate from Bushmaster, I was sold

We shot it this morning, it's a slick piece. I really can't believe how impressed I am with it, it just seems well engineered and well thought out. My current plans are either a T2 or a variable 1-6, maybe the new Vortex PST Gen II or a Leupold VX-6 or Mark 6. I'll probably get an M300 scout light as well, and I'll be filing a Form 1 to SBR it this week

Quick question, what's a good height mount for this? It seems that the top rail might be a little higher relative to cheek weld than a typical AR, would something like the Larue 660HK (if I get a T2) be more fitting for the ACR? And I understand that the cheek piece is adjustable.

Anyway, here's a pic, not like you guys have ever seen a bone-stock ACR before

Sunday gunday! Sighting in the new strike eagle optic. This has sat in my safe for a long time and taken a backseat to my mk18 but its quickly becoming my favorite again and is my go to 3 gun rifle for now.

Pretty happy to have been able to find - in my parts bin - a Magpul quick sling detach thing that worked perfectly with my ACR (i.e., to install it onto the plastic hand guard with no whatsoever modification - just fit perfectly). I had to search for two different screws (the originals are too short) of just the perfect length to not collide with the barrel underneath and I was lucky to have them, too. Just perfect. 

I don't know why but I don't find the original placement of the quick detach good enough - the gun doesn't seem balanced enough unless the QD is at the end of the handguard.

Got it back with barrel chopped (14.7 inches plus pinned and welded standard A2 flash hider), pinned and welded. 
Better, definitely better. 

Not ideal - I like even shorter barrels - but better.

Have you checked out Nexus Tactical or RPM Tool's M-lok handguards? There's a number of other accessories made by various people that you can find on the ACR forum and the Bushmaster ACR Owners Facebook page.

Bushmaster may have dropped the ball, but there are certainly options available for the ACR.
