IIRC, Bushmaster would only say the barrels had a proprietary coating at first.

If BM had handled the ACR launch better I don't think people would have had a problem with a nitride coated barrel.

You're right, it's been a while since I have looked at the MSRP of either the ACR or the SCAR.

The ARX-100 even at $1950.00 is a steal of a deal.

Apparently (ie. supposedly), it's now shipping.

They'll also eventually have "Gallatin, TN" stamped on the receiver, because it looks like Beretta USA is relocating.  O'Malley & the MD-majority get their karma.

NRA show tomorrow.

I hope someone asks why they went from nitride to chrome for the barrels and if we will see the A3 large vent handguards incorporated into the ARX-100?

I would also like to know if the adjustable gas block has a suppressor setting?

p.19 rehash:

Food for thought at 5:18 - "Eventually, all of the A3 features will be incorporated into the US marketed ARX-100 variant."


So, the updates are supposed to be coming, but it would be nice to verify & find out if there's a firm timeline established for integrating them.

I also seem to recall Lynn stating in a vid that the lower setting would work with a can.

Ya they will. I learned from the Tavor though. Wait a year or more before buying. I had a Tavor pre ordered before they were shipping. Paid $1999.99. Now we can get them for 16-1700 range... If you shop smart. I'm gonna wait it out and hope it drops to 12-1300 price tag range.

I'm just glad another unique weapon is hitting the market. There's no point nowadays to go to a gun shop or show to look at rifles(slight exaggeration). AR's are everywhere! I know this is Arfcom and lots of die hard Ar15 fans. Once you've seen an AR you have just about seen them all, lol. Anyone else getting bored with the platform? Of course I used an m16 and m4 in the military, so that is another reason I'm bored with it. I like to play with bullpups now

I'm curious as well. I suspect Beretta went chrome for cost and accuracy reasons.

That is a good price..........I was trying to decide between this and a SIG 556Xi, and waiting for the ARX to be released is hard.

Odds are, that'll be the price point of the big discount movers like J&G, Buds, ...etc once the Call of Duty idiots are done buying them for 3X retail on Gunbroker.

ETA: word on the Beretta Forum is that  the $1565 is just above the Dealer Wholesale price that Beretta put out, so unless the dealers in the know on BF were lying, it looks to be GTG.

I suspect they changed to chrome for the same reason they changed the safety, and changed to an A2 style pistol grip, and shortened the handguard length, and other features - so they could be just like an AR15/M4.

There were several examples there, you could even pose with one for a photo and they'd superimpose you into a magazine cover shot.

The ones I looked at, the actuation force on the safety was even higher than on previous examples, essentially to the point of being unusable.  

The bottom mounted mag release no longer appears to function either.

Picture of the ARX-100 in the "semi" wild.  I took the picture inside the Beretta Show Trailer that was parked at the Gander Mountain grand opening in McDonough, GA.  It felt real goo and the bottom mag release along with the side mounted magazine releases all worked.  Rep said they should be shipping/ship this week.  Will believe it when I see them in the store/on GB.

At least it's no longer " soon" .

ETA: The large cooling holes are missing from that display gun.

One new change I see is that the front sling swivel base has been reinforced with a thick swivel. The original was just a piece of bent wire, like an AR15's.

Uh, I thought it had heat shielding to prevent melting.

Seriously though, good job.  This is probably the only pic outside of the "media" that I've seen.  Now I just need to find out if/when the A3 upgrades will come online.

That thing has an awful lot of plastic. Even more so than HK G36. Would it melt under heavy fire?  I remember XM8 had that issue.

The ceramic & Al shielding is there to counteract heat pooling.  The -160 has a fun switch & no reports/rumors of problems thus far.  In fact, the A3 variant has a infantry automatic version.

I've never been able to verify the melting trunion rumor about the G36.  So IMO, it's internet rumor until I see some definitive proof - or at least get it from a credible source.

The ARX supposedly has a ceramic insert around the chamber to keep the Salvador Dali effect at bay.

I say supposedly because no one has confirmed anything the civilian version is being made with compared to the full zoot Mil version.

Not melting, but POI wander due to heating/cooling among other things.
Spain, UK, US SOCOM, Croatia, Turkey and US LE have all had troubles with the G36.

All those like new G36K parts kits that poped up a few years ago were from the US LE ditching it.


ETA: the XM-8 plastic melted when it came into contact with Deet bug repellent.
How the fuck those pimple assed, seat shining Pentagon jokers went +15 years of testing and R&D without discovering that problem is beyond me.

I figure they would have probably have tested for that... especially since it's seen combat and is in widespread issue, unlike the XM8.

Can't imagine they wouldn't include the ceramic heat shields on the civilian version.  If the gun melted with a couple mag dumps they would have hordes of angry customers demanding their money back.

To Beyond_Visual_Range: they claim that the barrel will melt before the plastic due to the ceramic resistor.

I think that is due to the gas block redesign, since it now has an adjustable gas system.

They're being used by elements of a few other nations as well. As opposed to the XM8 which never made it out into the wild.

Normally I would agree.
But Beretta reps have been all over the map saying one thing and when we see something different, they say " oh yeah, uh,... that changed " .

Right now, I'll wait until the ARX gets shipped to see what it will be.

I think that is due to the gas block redesign, since it now has an adjustable gas system.


Agreed,  There is going to a lot more heat in the new adjustable GB.
Making a thick aluminum swivel instead of steel will help keep the sling from melting.

Yes the ARX-100 has been released and is in the wild.  Here is the one I picked up today from my dealer.  I ordered it last year and it finally came in.  He had received two (one of which was mine).

I paid the Beretta MSRP of $1950.  Some people are betting they will come down after time.  Could be but I am happy with my deal.

eodcolret,

How does the selector lever feel?

Does the third mag release under the trigger guard work?

Does the barrel return to zero after being removed and re-installed?
