I can build anything I want at this point, so I'm set on ARs. They would have to do something really different to get my attention.
I much rather see the ARX-200 come out with M-Lok instead of Keymod. |

I'm trying to decide if I should pick one of these up. I can get a NIB ARX100 16" for $899, so about $945 out the door. The only rifles I've owned have been AR15s, 10/22s, and a cheapo WASR 7.62x39. Right now the only firearms I own are:
Glock 34 w/ x300u-b (on-duty) Beretta M9 (off duty, all metal parts, Wilson ultra thin grips, etc). Beat to hell Glock 17 w/ TLR1 HL (lives in my nightstand) 3x AR15 SBR lowers with no uppers (got them all efiled before they made that change requiring fingerprints) 1x AR15 lower with no upper I've owned pretty much every major manufacturer's handgun. The only rifles I've owned are AR15s, 10/22s, and a cheapo WASR 7.62x39. I really like Beretta, the 92 series is amazing. I've taken an armorer course for the AR15 platform, and it's a really great platform but just kinda boring to me at this point. I like military clones, so eventually I'll build the registered lowers into clones. Recently I've been on a KISS kick. I'd like to just pickup the ARX100, throw a 1-4 scope and light on it and make it my go to do-everything rifle. But, will I be able to get parts for it down the road? AR15's are easy, there are tons of armorer courses, maintenance schedules, and spare parts available. The Beretta ARX has, from what I can tell, none of that. |

But what about springs? Springs will need replaced at some point. Is there any sort of maintenance guide or schedule for when springs will need replaced? Are replacements readily available?
I’ll probably end up buying one of these anyway... |

One of the ARX-100s I own (the latest, i.e. newest) has a pretty stiff bolt when trying to manipulate it. I've oiled and greased it but it can still take way too much force to get it out of battery at times.

A 7.62x39 conversion kit would boost the market for this platform. You don't see people bitching about the early Bren 2 being available in both 556 & Russian 30 formats. Then there's the Bren 2 BR, which is also generating buzz.
Meanwhile, at Beretta USA, resources are being invested in cricket farming... |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By precisionphilosophy:
Sent my ARX barrel off to ADCO for chop. I asked them to chop to 10.3"-10.5" Also asked them to ensure there was enough shoulder to mount the Dead Air muzzle brake I left on the barrel. Original ticket was $140, we'll see if they charge extra to do the shoulder device, gas port work, or removing the roll pin to remove the gas block. I called a while back and they said for that kind of chop they'll just leave the gas ports alone. I hope it isn't too gassy. I want the EPC device bad. Also I've got this crazy idea to mill off the grenade launcher attachment section and mill in Mlok slots down there. Thoughts? Hey, how did the chop work? I might get an ARX and chop it to 13 or 14". Only for aesthetics. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By Firecop203: Mine has been 100% reliable so far. The accuracy is good enough for me. It’s designed for military applications, not a precision match rifle. I’m more comfortable with a heavier trigger than a match trigger. The other complaint I hear is about not being able to use Magpul Gen 3 magazines. I’ve been looking at the lower trying to find a solution. If I can find another lower I think it can be notched inside the magwell just enough to allow the tabs to fit inside. You can widen and deepen the rear of the magwell to allow for the bump on the Gen3's easily.

Has anyone filed off the shell deflector on the side opposite their ejection? I have the charging handle on the left side and the rifle ejecting to the right, and I'm sick of busting my knuckles on the deflector when I charge the rifle.
