I know, they said earlier this year that they were going to improve the ACR but its been a lot of back and forth with very little info.

Yeah they posted on IIRC Calguns a couple months ago. It looks like they still aren't giving a timeline, but I am hoping by the end of 2023 we will see new ones again.
By the time it got discontinued in 2019 the ACR was pretty mature. The few problems they had were resolved (brass deflector, charging assembly retainer) other than maybe the gas block legs. I think the biggest thing for them will be to implement some of the things the aftermarket has been doing for the past few years: offering a lightweight model without QD barrel system, offer a variety of lowers for different magazine types, different caliber kits (obviously since that was one of the main gripes with the original ACR), and updated handguards (namely M-lok). My ACR is a late production model and I have been very pleased with it. I am in the process of getting it set up for NVG use. |

Well, isn't this a fine kettle of fish.

Light weight non-swappable front trunions, light weight barrels, short barrels, no M203 cuts, caliber swaps, long handguards, lower receiver swaps for other magazines...
You know all the stuff that should have been there from the beginning. |

The rest are available now in the aftermarket and shouldn't be hard for Franklin to implement. |

*fingers crossed
I REALLY bought into the Masada hype at the beginning. I have a sub-100 serial number from within about 24 hours of them hitting the market, that I paid out of the ass for. It's been a rough ride. Lol. |

Not sure if anyone has noticed this, but the .450 Bushmaster model actually has a product page with description and everything.
Maybe it will be sooner rather than later? |

I remember a lot of people on here having aftermarket AR barrels fitted to the ACR, but that's something I refused to do for a "premium" rifle right off the shelf. Hopefully the new ones will come with a 1x7 CHF pencil profile barrel. |

They ditched the 1:9 twist before they got rid of the m4 profile |
