Interesting, maybe this thing does make for a good suppressor host then.

I would use gaffer tape, it won't leave a sticky residue behind like duct tape does. I wouldn't think that either option would last very long though.

Beretta really needs to come out with their port cover that already exists and just sell it over here.

It'll last just fine. It's just residue coming out the unused ejection port side, nothing that would cause a problem.

Unless the posted rumor of a -200-esque redesign is true, which I question only because they've sold so many of this config to various militaries around the world.

I do not see the -200 redesign coming over anytime soon honestly. I believe the -200 redesign is a 308 chamber.

It's in your budget range.

It was rumored a couple of pages back that the current ARX-100 is potentially going to be discontinued and that it will be replaced by a version built in the image of the ARX-200.

I'm on the fence right now. ARX 100 or DP 12 shotgun. I don't want to buy the ARX if a new model comes out.  I've googled beretta forums but the only place I've seen this rumor is here. Damn which one to get?

If they discontinue the current version of the ARX-100 there might not be any support for it in the future... So I would at least wait to see what Shot Show brings.

Also, if you like any of the features that are on the current version those features might not be a part of a newer model's design.

Wouldn't worry too much about lack of support since most of the parts are -160 compatible and that'll be in production for years to come.

Honestly...that will be years out in my opinion. The ARX-200 isn't available yet...however...you never know in the firearms industry. I think you will see a major country adapt the next platform before Beretta releases it to the public...just by looking at how Beretta has released firearms in the past.

The only parts I can see replacing are springs, extractors and firing pins...which are usually available through Brownell's....I love my ARX100.

They've got all the hallmarks of a shady business that lists everything as "in stock" whether it is or not and just charges you and holds onto your order if they don't. Your Steiner was probably actually in stock. I guess the items we ordered weren't.

I ordered an "in stock" bipod last week... finally (after a week) got someone (albeit an absolute clown of a sales rep) to confirm that it is not in stock and that the warehouse has no ETA. That said, my ARX shipped within three days from them a few months ago. I'm going to wait it out because the price was so good but this will be my last order from them.

[Last Edit: sgwlower] [#36]
I ordered the coyote, and its definitely darker than the rifle, FDE should be lighter than the rifle. Its such an odd shade of field drab.

With my fde index clips, BUIS, and mags, plus the coyote riser, my ARX is starting to look like a scar

[Last Edit: Carbine-Shooter] [#37]
So I don't actually own this rifle yet but it's on order from Botach. I got it at the $1199 for the FDE version and utilized the $1000 gift card offer for $850 during Veterans Day.

Well today I get an email from Botach about a price drop to $1100. This for both the black and FDE versions. I called Botach and since it has not shipped yet, they were able to give me the new $1100 price. So.....when you take into account free shipping, the $150 gift and price drop, I ended up paying $950 + $25 transfer.  

As of this writing they have 6 FDE in stock.

What are the upgrades ? Anyone know?

Botach's had the blowout pricing on the ARX since early this year.  I don't think it has anything to do with the rumor of an upgraded version.

The rumor is the usual "heard it from a friend in know" from exactly one person, which isn't worth much on the internet.

Watch what the Italians are doing with the evolution of the military ARX-160.  The development of the ARX-200 will likely have clues to what's coming from Beretta in the future too, but isn't "done" either.

Until there's confirmation, this rumor needs to be taken with a shaker of salt.
