Got one in the shop this week.
I definitely agree that the charging handle is too small and short for realistic manipulation. I usually run the stock on at AR carbine at position 2, and on the ARX-100 I have it all the way out. The length and buttplate shape of the stock makes it seem that it was designed for troops in body armor most likely. The safety was a bit stiff, and the button on the underside of the trigger guard is simply unusable- it does not work as it is supposed to as a magazine release, you can't push it in far enough to get the mag catch to fully release. In an ideal world they would have purned down the area right in front of the magwell a bit, and have you be able to completely remove the side rail segments instead of having some bumps left on the sides of the gun. Overall, it could use a little refinement, but it definitely has some cool innovation going on with the barrel quick release and truly adjustable and ergonomic controls and ejection. From a functional standpoint I think we are looking at the future features of assault rifles right here and now. Sven Manticore Arms |

You can hate it all you want, the terminology is correct. Feel free to add something factual or useful to the conversation, my post was to review the rifle quickly and give some feedback. As my statement said these are the features you are going to see on assault rifles in the future, whether they be semi only civilian versions or military select fire assault rifles. |

First priority is a better charging handle. It needs to be longer and have a bigger "pad" at the end. You are limited to the size and length that will fit through the ejection port but on inspection I think it could be several mm longer and the pad could be twice as big without much effort. Then work on an aftermarket gas adjustment plug with suppressor settings.

Submitted Form 1 for mine. Any ideas who would be good to do the chop? I anticipate that it might require a fair bit of tinkering due to the unique gas system and lack of a suppressor setting on the gas plug.

Well, I think I will try one based on the MAC review and others, even if it isn't the greatest thing since sliced bread it has some interesting features and represents a different design, and is in use by at least one foreign military making it interesting from a collector's standpoint. So as long as it isn't a complete non-functional of garbage and the price is right, I think I'll pick one up when my store gets one.
Anyway, like someone said above, anything special to keep in mind before cutting the barrel for an SBR? The military one has an 11 inch barrel, I don't know if that version's gas system is in any way different from the civie one. Also, sight over bore axis looks kind of high, what's a low-riding optic to recommend? |

Aimpoint T1 ought to sit on there real nice, either without a riser or just a very low one.
In terms if the barrel chop, my primary concern is ensuring there is enough gas to cycle it, and also that it doesn't beat itself to death running a suppressor. I think the right way to do it is to make a custom adjustment plug for the gas block with different sized gas ports. This would allo one to chop the stock barrel and still tune the gas system for suppressed and unsuppressed fire. Might have to also earge the gas port in the barrel itself. |

http://www.gunbroker.com/Auction/ViewItem.aspx?Item=428243162 From dollartimes.com $576.00 in 1983 had the same buying power as $1,375.37 in 2014.
Annual inflation over this period was 2.85%. More recent example? The good old surplus M44s I bought in 2008 for $69? Can't find one now for less than double that price. Military surplus and military-type rifles very much tend to increase in price AND value. I'm not saying to make them your retirement fund. I'm done... this thread is going off topic. |

Unless you pay well over MSRP for a SCAR or something you are generally going to be fine in the long run. Politics comes into play on some of the historical examples, like the HK series, and import status/numbers, like the FAMAS and L85 (check those against inflation). Of course there are negative examples, like the MSAR (yeah, I got burned on that one). I don't buy for investment though I buy what I like.

Out-of-production rifles from the big name manufacturers that supply the armed forces of their respective nations are the ones that at a minimum retain or increase in value. And the politics absolutely do come into play; that's the name of the game with these types of firearms, they're always endangered by political idiots. OK, now back to the ARX... |

Running the ARX bolt release vs the ACR's is like night and day, the ACR one is so much better. It would make breaking the stock ones no big deal if you had a nice larger one to install. |

But they said they would have barrels for .300blk at the launch and those are nowhere to be found, plus historically very few of the "modular rifle" manufacturers have followed through on their plans to have lots of barrels available. So I'm not going to hold my breath for a factory 11" or 9" barrel. |

Another point about that article: they say that the N setting is for Normal and the S setting is for suppressed. Beretta have said that the N setting is for nonstandard and the S is for standard. But it makes sense that if you chop the barrel down, you could use the large gas port (N) to get the weapon to cycle, and the smaller gas port (S) for suppressor use due to the increased back pressure. Makes me wonder if Beretta is using he same gas system on both barrel lengths and just changing which setting they call the default...? |

The fuss is also that the ARX is only MIL grade one out that is truly multi-caliber and mags. The Masada was supposed to be multi-caliber, but Bushy fucked us. Note that the top is a late version and bottom pic is an early rifle. Pics of the 7.62x39 caliber conversion that uses AK mags. http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r128/BulletBait1969/Gun%20Stuff/ARX160/762x39-01.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r128/BulletBait1969/Gun%20Stuff/ARX160/762x39-02.jpg http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r128/BulletBait1969/Gun%20Stuff/ARX160/762x39-03.jpg Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By BulletBait:

Where is that picture from. Is that the ARX 160? or an SBR ARX 100?
