It's easier to sell 1000 ar15's than 250 acr's. The people on top don't see the Acr as needing upgrades. I'm working to change that.

Forget the Masada, the BACR *is* the evolution of the Masada and that's that. As for the Remington ACR...what's it got that "people actually want" that will sell any more ACR's than are currently being sold? A cool looking handguard that is, ultimately, not really any more functional than the stock one (and also not any better than what the aftermarket currently provides)? Or is it the magnesium lower that will create two tiers of ACR? Yeah, that's what the ACR really needs: More expense and more fracturing of it's product line. Caliber conversions? Like the 6.8 that I can't buy at walmart and everyone knows doesn't work well with the ACR? (it exists, there's a reason you can't buy it.) Different barrel profile? I mean I think M203 cut barrels are dumb as hell but nobody's bitching about Colt putting them on 6920's. Lighter trunnion? See SIG example above. Folding charging handle? See SIG. And even if Bushmaster did aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall that...what do you think the impact on ACR sales would be? Bet it wouldn't even be a statistical burp. So I'm gonna ask you again: What do you mean? In my opinion about the only thing that I think bushmaster NEEDS to do for the ACR is: Make it cheaper Market it better Sell a pistol |

You know what I mean, no need to continue asking a question you already have a response to. We obviously don't see the ACR in the same light. You can stick with the outdated gun Bushmaster sells, and I'll still not be a buyer due to what it lacks.

All I'd like for my ACR is the AK lower in 7.62 and 5.45, and obviously the bolts and barrels. I have the XCR in 5.56 and 7.62 conversion, and the asc mags work ok, frankenmags work the best. And my LWRC in 5.45 is fun too, but having what was hyped about the ACR / Masada would've been awesome.
All that said, other than being front heavy which is solved with an sbr stamp or barrel re-profiling, the ACR is pretty great the way it is. At this point, they could do away with the quick detach barrels and drop the price, and probably sell more based on the other features it has and looks alone. |

Best thing that could happen to the ACR, in my opinion, is for bushmaster to say "Screw it!" and just release the TDP for the ACR and let any manufacturer who wanted churn one out, without worrying about being sued. Never happen, of course, but it's not like the parts of an ACR are all that complicated. Still, I think Magpul retains the rights after their licensing with bushmaster runs out, so maybe there's hope... |
