Response I got today from Beretta via their FB page was that they were still conducting "final "validation" tests...we will start manufacturing consumer models soon". Sounds like they won't be making the 60-90 day shipping window for the ARX.

I was really hoping this rifle would hit the market when Beretta said it would. Being a left eye dominant shooter, this rifle really appeals to me. I will have some scratch saved up by the end of the year. I may have to go with a Tavor if the ARX 100 hasn't made to market yet.

Probably making a heavier, 1:9 barrel profile as we speak, along with an extra-length non folding stock. Maybe redoing the plastic in blue or something. |

I'm actually hoping the delay is due to Beretta modding the original design some. An adjustable gas block, removable grip (or at least cut the "AR notch") would be welcome improvements, but the gun is still GTG in its current trim. Would like to know why they shortened the -100 HG compared to the -160. ETA: Wonder if the rumors about an ARX-200 are true? |

That's how you make friends and build trust. Exactly. He didn't promise "2 weeks" & then pull some OPSEC crap. Stuff happened along the way, & he kept all us consumers apprised of the situation. It came out when he said it would be ready. I really didn't expect the -100 to be released when it was promised. That's just the way it goes in the mfg biz. But I digress - do let us know when Beretta gets back to you with an update. |

I'll prob. get both, but if I was going to spend money now its on the SIG. Its a bit different and will be cheaper to shoot. Plus the Beretta will eventually be closer to $1700 and there a few things about it I am sure the aftermarket will fix, so I'll just let that happen first.
