Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By unbrakablex:
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? Only the very first run didn't come with the roll pin I think. Anyways, the loose rail "problem" was originally brought up by Larry Vickers. There were no actual reported issues associated with the slight wobble at the rear of the top rail, other than that by design the rail sort of floats at the rear. The fact that it was brought up by such a big name like Larry Vickers meant that Beretta had to save face and put a band aid "fix" in the form of a roll pin installed in the hole that exists at the rear of the receiver just under the top rail. Beretta then lied to us all, insisting that the roll pin was always supposed to be there. They said that there was a mix-up in translation bringing the rifle from Italian design to the USA. The ARX-100 is based on the Italian ARX-160A3... The ARX-160A3 up to this point has never been seen with the roll pin. I have gone back and forth thinking that maybe the roll pin should be installed or maybe not but the conclusion that I have come to is, is that it just doesn't matter. |

The ARX100 I ordered from Botach 2 weeks ago has a pin driven into the rear of the rail. No flex.

I'm not opposed to rifles being a color other than black, but... FDE always has the same reaction from me as seeing a man in a hot pink suit. Something's just... not right.

Forested area with a lot of greenery and dark spots/colors like where I live, black's going to disappear against the background relatively easily. FDE would stick out like a sore thumb; NOTHING is that shade of desert tan here. Anyway, I wasn't knocking FDE, I'd use it if I was going into dusty/desert terrain. Just commenting from a cosmetic standpoint. |

Guy is clueless about the quick change barrel though. He also says that the side rails are adjustable and that the FDE version comes with sights.

Those of you that bought through Botach, about how long did it take them to ship? I placed an order for an FDE a few days ago, and while the site says to expect a few days delay, I've read a lot about them in the past that gives me pause, but the price was too good to pass on.

I almost went through with registering my black one as an SBR before the deadline, but ended up punting in favor of other projects. As handy as it is with the 16" barrel, that short 10.whatever" is going to be niiiiiice.

Personal preference plays into opinions, of course. The general stuff is as follows: - Controls are stiff, but get better as they break in; trigger breaks clean, but is heavy (tip: For mags, use the AR style mag release buttons). - Full ambidexterity, although perhaps somewhat novel, is well executed & it all works w/o a hitch. - QD bbl is "Hollywood" slick (esp. if you have a SBR bbl), & makes cleaning easier. - Accuracy is in the ~2"-4" range, give or take. - Stock sights are strictly a backup affair, & worth replacing if you plan to run irons (okay, plastics in this case) regularly. - Relatively light & balances well, esp in SBR trim. - Grip & stock are integral. - Hybrid op system design works nicely to manage recoil, & it runs reliably. Runs fairly cool, too. |

Here's the video. > https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2fUy_k5S9-I However it's a sample of one and all that... Every barrel is different and likes different loads and you really have to do your own testing with your own particular barrel to see what works.

Typical Beretta, so close, yet so very far. The packing list or invoice that comes with the gun should suffice as a receipt. And purchased at retail usually means purchased from a business vs a private party sale. |

Anyone else catch one for $1111 during Botach's flash sale last Friday? I just couldn't say no at that price, especially with Beretta's free mag offer.
And somehow, they managed to ship it out on Monday, which seems a small miracle after reading all the delayed shipping horror stories in this thread. ETA: rifle arrived with two front sights. Not sure if Beretta or Botach is blame. Not a big deal because they're garbage but I still expect one of the two to make it right. |

The difference in felt recoil is to be expected, since the propellant pressure is being confined in a smaller bbl + can volume, so it will naturally impart greater force. The more the muzzle rises, the longer it takes to return to target. |

Next week we'll be running some drills, I'm curious to know (when I run it fast), how hard it will be to get back on target. The difference in felt recoil is to be expected, since the propellant pressure is being confined in a smaller bbl + can volume, so it will naturally impart greater force. The more the muzzle rises, the longer it takes to return to target. I noticed the gas setting was on N (when I got home), it should have been set on S (for standard ammo). I won't have a chance to shoot again until Saturday. That should make for a different experience. |
