Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Lowflight:
I contacted Beretta about another matter and inquired about the status of the ARX100. FWIW, the customer service rep said that the ARX100 is discontinued but that Beretta will continue to support it with parts. Time will tell since they haven't shown much support for the last few years. 
Was hoping they'd be imported up here at some point. Snow Mexico needs more (non-restricted) black rifles. Were their expectations too high? |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Master_Blaster: How bad do you want it? This rifle's uniqueness in the AR-Barbie doll world is one of the reasons I'm drawn to it. The feature set is the other. Just bought some LPA MAS/7-MAS BUIS to further up the ante. |

I'm holding off crying in my beer until we get actual confirmation, or it stops showing up on their website, etc.
Not saying it isn't true, but CSRs are notorious for bad and half information. Perhaps a suspension of production until Gallatin gets straightened out? They moved an awful lot of equipment there. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Firecop203: I want one, but the insane prices keep me from it. I posted another thread about Botach a couple of days ago. Barrels are now available, but double the price that they sold them for last time. The barrels now cost as much as the rifle. Really surprised to hear it's being discontinued. Wonder if the -200 even has a chance now? |

When it comes to guns, Beretta’s handling of things is remarkably similar to Colt’s. Sometimes reading the tea leaves IS faster and more accurate than official sources. 
I’m just ticked the fuck off because my two favorite third gen rifles are apparently being axed. I guess I have tastes very dissimilar to most buyers. |

Does the ARX-100 receiver have steel rails inside the polymer receiver? IE - what does the bolt reciprocate on?
Anyone have a pic they can post showing the inside of the receiver? Thanks! |

That is not dead which may eternal lie (in inventory)
I'm still thinking Gallatin is behind schedule, unable to keep up with demand for their basic 92fs. Until the factory issues are settled, they won't look at the ARX100 one way or the other I think. |

Are you able to see if there is any steel or aluminum molded into the upper? How does the top rail attach? It is aluminum correct? Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By E4W:
Originally Posted By 556Cliff: There is a circular steel insert clipped into the front end of the barrel guide but it is mostly aluminum. Brownells also lists Colt delta rings as steel even though they are aluminum just like every other delta ring out there. The top and side rails are aluminum. The top rail slides onto the receiver from the rear via a dovetail type mounting system and it's secured with 4 screws that thread into two steel hexagonal inserts that are slip fit into the upper receiver before the top rail is slid over them which prevents them from falling out. The side rail screws thread into brass inserts that are molded into the little bump-outs on both sides of the handguard area of the upper receiver. |

What is involved in getting one of the factory SBR rifles?
Do you order it, and your gunshop hold it until you get the stamp? I have thought of getting one from Botach, but unsure on how this process works. |

That is a great price on the FDE ARX. I think I paid $1400ish for mine 2 years ago. I have an FDE ARX-100 and an FDE ARX-160 .22. The .22 is a great trainer for the 5.56 rifle. Suppressed it's super quiet with .22 subsonic.
