I can't see a good reason for that rail to sit so far above the bore and piston rod/spring, unless they're using an AR18 style bolt carrier and need the room in the receiver.
Otherwise it actually looks good. |

So basically, an AR15/M16 variant. The platform that rejects obsolescence like water rejects oil.

The recoil assembly is all in the upper so not sure why they wouldn’t put a folding stock on it. |

According to the timeline, in 2024 Beretta will initiate low rate initial production deliveries and will start the design of the other family members, as the 5.56×45 mm assault rifle seen in Gardone Valtrompia is only the starting point of a family that will see the NARP be developed in many versions and variants, with six different length of barrels, 7 inch (178 mm), 11.5 inch (292 mm), 14.5 inch (368 mm), 16 inch (406 mm), 18 inch (457 mm) and finally 20 inch (508). The 7-inch barrel will be fitted only to the Close Quarter Battle (CQB) rifle using the 7.62×35 mm or .300 Blackout subsonic ammunition. The NATO 5.56×45 mm NARP family will consist of four versions, CQB (11.5 inch), Assault Rifle, AR in short (14,5 inch), Infantry Automatic Rifle (16 inch), and Squad Designated Marksman Rifle or S-DMR (18 inch). The calibre declined in the most numerous versions is the NATO 7.62×51 mm, with five different rifles; CQB (11. 5 inch), Battle Rifle (BR) with either 14.5 inch or 16 inch barrel, and Designated Marksman Rifle (DMR) available with 18 inch or 20 inch barrels. Three versions will be available chambered for the 6.5 mm Creedmoor or the 6.8 mm round, respectively BR (16 inch), DMR (18 inch) and Semi Automatic Sniper Rifle (20 inch), for a grand total of 16 different versions. Good, give SIG a run for their money since they currently offer a (dated) 6.75", and but seem to stalling on the 7.75" upper. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Also, you won't need risers on your mounts, so seems beneficial even without the need for it internally. The stock to rail height looks to be the same as an AR so risers would still be necessary. I’m surprised they didn’t add their own stock to this. I think that’s one of the biggest benefits to non AR buffer systems. |

So, another piston gun that still requires a buffer tube? Am i seeing that right or does it indeed have a folding stock?
It's just a front heavy AR15. Why? |

I'm curious about the trigger. Beretta changed some of the geometry so I'm curious if AR15 triggers are compatible. |

Hopefully we'll see some imports, more AR rifles the better. |

I like the Forward Assist being better positioned. ( Ala BCM Mk 2 )
And Honestly, I'd like to fire one to see if the lower bore axis really does help with better control. |

The designs persist for decades, essentially unchanged. Why? They work. No need to improve on “good enough”. The next military small arms step forward will be caseless ammo, and that is already well developed. It will stay there until MASERs and smart weapons cone on line, some time in the 2200s. |

I like Beretta, though I'm not a fan of how they tend to completely drop all support for their existing firearms after bringing them to the commercial market.
This new rifle I likely wouldn't buy (not that I could living in WA) simply because I don't care much for Sig and I don't like the MCX... I certainly don't want a Beretta MCX knockoff. |

This is for the Euro military market. The truth is, everyone wants what the cool kids have…and that’s an AR ergos in either DI or piston. It’s hard to improve upon.
SAS, Delta, DevGru, GROM….they are all using M4s or 416s. |

I agree, but I'm sure those precision molds weren't cheap, & making updated molds would entail a lot of dev & testing costs compared to making an(other) milled 7000 series AR. They went the cheaper & easier route, sad but true. Also sad but true, I now know to steer away from Beretta moving forward. |

Some guys have gotten acceptable accuracy out of the ARX while others claim it's a 4-6 MOA gun. The quick-change barrel has been blamed for this, but who knows?

Well at least these companies are designing new products, if only Colt would have pushed forward with the M5 or Reminton with the R4 RGP they would not have gone bankrupt. Other than SIG USA, American arms are mostly stagnant.

( I am waiting to hear that someones AR shoots sub MOA with ball though )Might be more than a couple factors at play that give the ARX-100 a hit or miss reputation for accuracy... Could be partially due to the quick change barrel and the fit of the barrel extension to the receiver in the trunnion section of the receiver. Could be partially due to the attachment method for the top rail. Could be partially due to Beretta USA not knowing how to properly make barrels in their cold hammer forge machine. Could be partially due to using AR height sights (or taller with the factory BUIS) on a rifle that is best suited to low mounted sights so that you can actually obtain a decent cheek weld instead of a chin weld. Could be partially due to the heavy factory trigger. Edit: The only issues that we can address as ARX owners is to upgrade to the Shooting Sight trigger and mount sights and optics as low as they can go. |

PS for those wondering, stock will be available as folding as well. Buffer tube unnecessary, they're adding it to show compatibility with the AR15 platform. Folding will have a proprietary plate - I foresee, if they catch enough market for it (all to be seen) adapters for different folding stocks. Current design:  ETA shit beaten like a donkey under the sun |

From what I understand a lot of the European markets want a piston rifle because they don't like the hot gasses blowing into the shooters face. I do know Estonian had a requirement that their rifles not blow gas into the shooters face and LMT won that contract over the Sig MCX platform.
