Uhhmm... so I got the lower pic rail and extended charging handle in to try out. Extended CH works great. PITA to remove at first, but I found it comes off a lot more easily if you pull out the charging handle like you're going to switch sides, and then give the extended CH a firm yank.
Lower pic rail will not slide on though because my grenade launcher rail section is wider than the pic rail section. Doesn't come with any instructions, so is there some trick I'm missing? Thought it was supposed to just slide on like the handguard does. |

My pic rail was a tight fit, at least getting it started. I kind of wiggled it side to side while pushing it on, then it started and went right on.

It slides up to the point where the pic rail widens into the GLX-160's rail, at which point it will not slide further and the GLX-160 rail is making contact with both sides of the attachment. I can't see a way to get it on other than the sides needing to be flared out at least 2 or 3mm more than they are. Wonder if I got a defective one that was bent inward or something. Guess I better contact Beretta. EDIT: Actually, looking at it now a little closer it looks like it IS bent inward a bit as it nears the top. That would explain it. I think I got a bad pic rail attachment. I'll contact them for an exchange. |

So it looks like I'll be searching for a box and getting this rifle in the mail over the next few days and we'll see what happens. Wish me luck! best of luck and keep us in the loop! |

I think I got a bad pic rail attachment. I'll contact them for an exchange. EDIT: I forced it. Caused a little cosmetic damage to both rail and accessory but it went on, and is on super-tight. Eh, oh well, that spot will always be covered either by a rail attachment or the handguard attachment anyway. EDIT 2: I also got the ARX-160 VFG just to try it out. Despite being advertised as not working with the ARX-100 and only working with the ARX-160 (oddball rail spec on the .22 version maybe?), it works perfectly with a regular rail. It's basically a very good copy of the Knight's vertical grip, but a little fatter and the knob is a bit hand-shreddy when tightening the final turn compared to the KAC VFG. Locks up nice and tight just like the KAC VFG. If you're like me and you always liked the KAC grip, this is basically a very nice Beretta version for much cheaper and with some extra diameter. Speaking of KAC, my KAC Precision Bipod can't attach to the ARX-100's bottom picatinny rail because it's too wide. But it does work just fine with the slide-on pic rail. Should help make zeroing and accuracy testing easier. |

Current setup.
Using a Steiner MRS on an AD-SF-R low mount. Raises it just enough that it can sit back against and slightly overlap the factory rear BUIS without making contact. Has to be removed to use the BUIS as they exactly line up with the top of the housing, but good enough solution to keeping weight low while still having the factory BUIS mounted. Height with the raised rail + ADM mount feels about equivalent to using an EOTech on top of an AR, so really not bad, and if you want to rip the BUIS off and just run the MRS bare that of course gets it really low. Beretta-branded LaserMax UNI from the Beretta USA store on the right rail. Lancer L5 AWMs for magazines. Everything nice and lightweight. This so needs the SBR barrel for maximum lightweightness.  Attached File Attached FileAnd then swapping in the lower pic rail with the Beretta VFG.  Attached FilePulling the KAC Precision Bipod off my Colt 901 and fitting it onto the ARX. Works like a charm. Combining that with the Shooting Sight trigger when it arrives will be fun for trying for accuracy.  Attached FilePulling off the factory BUIS and using the Steiner MRS with the UNI laser is a pretty great way to add a HWS and visible laser while having no weight gain compared to the barebones rifle with factory BUIS on it.

I'm having the same issue with the RMR I have mounted on my ARX. I think the problem is the ARX's BUIS were designed to be 1/2 to 3/4 an inch lower when they were integrated into the receiver. When they updated the design and changed them to removable attachments with a longer rail, they just bumped them up in height and kept the same design... probably the source of all the WTF regarding the factory BUIS. It's too bad Beretta doesn't offer those LPA sights they have on the military ARX-160A3, they look pretty sharp and would probably engender a lot less annoyance. |

I think the best BUIS for the ARX are the Troy Micro sights. They lay super flat and are a bit lower than traditional AR height sights which helps with the ARX's elevated rail. I'm at 400 rounds now through my ARX, proving to be more accurate than I thought it would be, shoots 64gr Speer Gold Dot's into 1.5" consistently, Wolf Gold bulk stuff into 2-2.5". That's more than good enough for a combat grade rifle. I'm tempted to SBR it now to create a super lightweight SBR, but I'm worried by the time the stamp comes back 10" barrels would be hard to find.
Also, its back for $850 (sort of). Buy a $1000 gift card for $850, use the gift card to buy the rifle as it is currently $999. |

Don't know what's going on except maybe Beretta's moving ARX production over to the Tennessee facility and that's causing delays or something. Kind of weird that all the SBR barrels dried up and aren't being replaced. |

I took advantage of the sale at Botach tactical and bought one for $850. It's quickly becoming one of my favorite rifles.
The only issue I've experienced is that with certain ammo like PMC the rifle malfunctions until I change the gas setting to N. Has anyone here had the same issue? |
