I finally got my xcr-l. It only took 11 months. I have a Magpul K2 grip and a Surefire 3 prong on the way. Does Rob Arms use Rocket or anything on the flash hider?

View Quote Nope, just remove the barrel from the gun, brace the barrel around the gas block and take off the FH. If you don’t remove the barrel first you can ruin the trunnion and barrel bolt. |

Question for the inmates: I now have a 5.56 barrel and bolt to go with the original 7.62x39 barrel and bolt XCR-L. How are you storing the spare barrel and especially the bolt?

I got around to cleaning the new 5.556 barrel for my XCR-L last night; I haven’t fired it yet.
I was amazed at how dirty it was - I mean it was like there was a gray-black mud in there. Not what I think of as cosmoline. After several nasty patches, I could look down the barrel and see flakes of crap in there. There was a chunk of it on the wire brush I finally used to scrape it out. It had more crud in it than an M4/M16 after two weeks of blank firing. I did give it a cursory glance before cleaning so I know it wasn’t blocked or anything incredibly obvious. The original 7.62x39 barrel had only a bit of carbon in it. While I am curious what that stuff might have been, mostly I post to not take it for granted a new barrel is in firing condition. |

The rest of the fit and finish of my barrel looks to be first class. As this had been on order for about 11 months, I sent them a note about every two months at the end. I got a “just came in from… will ship it today” reply recently.
As for storage, I ended up buying a cheap leather coin purse for the bolt and cut down and resewed a skinny gun sock for the barrel. Mostly I want to keep the two pieces together. |

Quoted 3 month wait when I ordered, ended up being about a week or two over that but mine came in today, not too bad.
I order the standard length with buried gas block but what I received has the gas block exposed at the end of the hand guard. That won’t be a problem with getting a caliber conversion in 300blk and burying the gas block right? Doesn’t seem like it but it’s my first one and I’m not too knowledgeable on the system. I also don’t have it in hand to examine because my fucking background check went pending so I have to go back tomorrow . 3 months and now I get to wait another day. |
|
|
[#26]
I believe if you want a 300 BLK then you would have to get some extra parts for the conversion so it would cost a little more. You should double check the configuration you ordered then contact rob arms. Might save you some money in the long run unless you plan on getting more conversions.

Is it FDE as well or does it just look that way from the picture? You ordered ODG right?

Ok I guess that makes sense then since I went with the 11”, just a website issue that allowed me to build with the 11” I guess. I actually think the exposed block will look better with suppressor anyway rather than a little bit of skinny barrel between the can and hand guard. Easier to adjust too I suppose. The 9.5 blackout will be the next purchase. Thanks for the replies Also, are there choices between stocks (Fast 2 or 3) or is it just whatever version they are on is what you get? If it’s a choice is there a preference here between them? |

Well, I went and ordered a second XCR-L Sunday. They said it would be around 4 months - hope so as had been quoted 6months for my first one and it came in a fair ways over that. I also ordered a spare barrel in 7.62x39. On arrival, that will give me a pair that are duplicates save the color. A fool and his money….! But am happy to have it on order.
