There is nothing preventing Beretta from continuing production of the -100. All of the molds and tooling is in Tennessee. They will probably sell the rights maybe tooling to someone else. ITAR will be an issue for US made tooling going elsewhere but can happen, maybe 3rd party involvement. |

Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By UncleGreg: The perpexing things is: I said that about Ruger 10+ years ago. "They arleady have a propriatary 5.56 rifle. Why do they want to pile on with everybody else?" And how many have joined them since then? The seeming "play it safe" strategy whenever things don't scream out of the gate isn't confidence inspiring. I was really jonesing for the full feature support for this rifle & hoping a semi 200 would follow later. The platform's future seems unknown, & now I can only hope the company will surprise us with more in store for the ARX line, preferrably sooner than later. |

Just checked my academy and they still have one for 879 , might have thought about at the previous sale price 799?, Doesn't look as bulky in person. I guess the real downfall of it all is that for people like me who don't have racks for ar15s it's hard to justify it over a top tier are setup, maybe if it was in a pistol setup I would think about as I'm just not ready to make the jump to a sbr

The price at GrabAGun went up to $1,114.99... Still no stock though.
Why would they adjust their price on a discontinued rifle that they don't have in stock? |

Well, didn't Beretta state they were not discontinued (not that that means anything)? Maybe TN is producing a batch........with or without any changes.

Look good, but I wonder how the extended length works with the mechanics of field stripping, not to mention any changing of sides.
Ain't gonna lie though, I'll probably get one. |

Best mod ever...I would highly recommend using a double side sticky tape to attach vs what is supplied with it. Overtime that friction pad will wear off.

I'll say tho that I can't believe just how much of a difference this one simple thing makes. Not only does it look great it actually works. I really can't express the improvement it has made. I'm considering ways to permanently attach it to the stock. These should be factory Beretta. |

Well, I picked up my second one yesterday. It cost me more than I wanted because I got it from Kentucky Gun Co.
It was made in 2018 and has a lower serial number than my first one that I got in 2014. It has the slightly better two stage trigger, but it's still not great. Also, the manual still has the misprint saying that the barrel is 1/9 twist even though the barrel is stamped 1/7. 
This is the only gun that I've ever bought a duplicate of, I guess that makes me a fan.

Look at the charging handle on this ARX-160 A3. > https://www.instagram.com/p/BrI7FkvnbNR/
It's different (bigger)... With all the complaining about the ARX-100 charging handle I wonder why we never got these improved versions? I've been searching trying to find newer pictures of the ARX-160 A3 and I'm still not seeing any roll pin in the hole under the back end of the top rail. |
