"The SCAR has had the gas screw changed out so the 'suppressed' setting is enough to lock the bolt open on a empty mag, and then up two screw sizes. I keep the 'normal' setting for adverse conditions. But since I was failing rifles for failing once, it didn't seem fair to let the SCAR fail and then change the gas setting. I could have also put the ARX in adverse gas after it failed, but didn't either." |

Prob both SCAR & ARX would've gone much further if their full functionality was utilized. Not sure why they weren't allowed to run within their functional design envelope. |

I'm not sure if he modded the mags but he really should have tested the SCAR with GI mags as it was designed solely around them. |

The first pic (with the case and magazine) shows a barrel with the flash hider right up against the gas block. The third picture shows a barrel with the 1-inch "choad". My ARX barrel looks like the first picture but it it well under 10" long by ATF-style measurement. I think you will get a barrel like pic #3 if you buy the factory 10.25" Beretta barrel. The Botach site is also fishy. The pictured barrel is a 12.5" military barrel for use with the 15-slot handguards. And the pictured rifles are photoshopped but show the flash hider right against the gas block, which is again impossible for a 10.25" barrel on a production ARX. |

An ARX without most of the good features of the ARX? (Swap eject, light weight, extensive polymer, etc).
Pass. With those features there is absolutely no reason to choose it over a SCAR or AR-10 platform. |

Not sure I agree with the vice versa part. If the -200 has basically the same feature set as an AR-10 but weighs 1.5lb more, that's actively worse option.

Yeah, I'm hoping the bbl profile is the where the girth comes from, because it weighs nearly as much as an (all-steel) FAL with 20" bbl. Definitely waiting for more info. |

Neat that it comes with a case. Looks like it would be big enough to fit the rifle in with the short barrel. But damn near $600 for a barrel? That's half the price that the gun sells for these days. For maybe $400, I'd get the barrel. That still makes it a $600 SBR project. High prices are hurting this rifle. I bet they'd sell a shit-ton if they were available for right around $1k. Beretta has to sell direct at MSRP, they cannot undercut their dealers. If you sign up for Beretta's news letter or whatever they will give you a code to use for 15% off their e-store. That brings the barrel/kit down to $508.70 shipped to my location. IMHO that's not too bad for what you're getting. |

Have any of you 1. Cerakoted your ARX? Thinking of FDE - Tired of waiting 2. Changed the BUIS, thinking of the magpul micros I have them on my 10.5 AR & like them. 3. Any sources for the ARX160 flash hider? Considering cutting the 16" barrel down to 16" with flash hider, would much rather the 10" but i travel... 4. Has anyone sanded off the A2 "finger bump" ? 5. It would be awesome if someone like Noveske/ Pac Nor would make a sub moa barrel. |

It would be awesome if someone like Noveske/ Pac Nor would make a sub moa barrel. 1. nope, I've thought about it, but I'm fine with black 2. Nope, not yet. I'm thinking about getting the MagPul angled flip-up BUIS, because I want to get a 1-4x scope to put on it, and BUIS probably won't work very well in-line with a scope. 3. Haven't looked. I'm fine with the A2 flash hider. 4. I have seen a guy on the Beretta Forum ground his off. I want to do that myself. It's solid under the bump, so you can grind it down to flush with the grip. There won't be a hole or anything there. 5. Accuracy is probably more hindered by the heavy trigger. I haven't shot mine for accuracy yet, but MAC's reviews show about 2MOA (IIRC), which is perfectly fine for a battle rifle, and he comments that with a better trigger, he thinks it may get closer to 1MOA. There's a carbine match this coming Sunday. I'm going to try to go shoot in it if my allergies aren't driving me TOO damn nuts. I'll be shooting the ARX in it. I'm sure I'll have 0 problems with the rifle... and I'll probably be the only one out there with one! |

Make sure you post an aar. I really wanna get one of these and put a 1-4 on it so any info would help 1. nope, I've thought about it, but I'm fine with black 2. Nope, not yet. I'm thinking about getting the MagPul angled flip-up BUIS, because I want to get a 1-4x scope to put on it, and BUIS probably won't work very well in-line with a scope. 3. Haven't looked. I'm fine with the A2 flash hider. 4. I have seen a guy on the Beretta Forum ground his off. I want to do that myself. It's solid under the bump, so you can grind it down to flush with the grip. There won't be a hole or anything there. 5. Accuracy is probably more hindered by the heavy trigger. I haven't shot mine for accuracy yet, but MAC's reviews show about 2MOA (IIRC), which is perfectly fine for a battle rifle, and he comments that with a better trigger, he thinks it may get closer to 1MOA. There's a carbine match this coming Sunday. I'm going to try to go shoot in it if my allergies aren't driving me TOO damn nuts. I'll be shooting the ARX in it. I'm sure I'll have 0 problems with the rifle... and I'll probably be the only one out there with one! Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Matthew_Q:

Go to page 40-41 of this thread and you can see that I ground the hump off and shortened the side rails a little bit as well. |

Another thing I was wondering with that really thin barrel behind the flash hider can you even cut the barrel down and perm and weld with a flash hider that fits? I was just thinking that the barrel would be to thin for a flashhider to be able to screw on.
