Some good looking pictures in this thread. RIP ACR. Man this really bums me out. I never bought any spare parts for mine.  I recently replaced the light in the Viking Tactics mount with a Surefire X300U-B and I really really like it, although some complain about the durability of the battery compartment latch. It's very intuitive to actuate the activation system for the light with my thumb which I always have verticle along the handguard. I use the VFG sort of like a large handstop rather than a grip that I wrap my hand around. |

I guess for now I'll have to keep using the standard handguard or the railed cheese grater. |

Ooooo, I like that green. I will probably get some pics up after I get my RPM handguard (that I ordered in December 2019  ), and get the barrel put back on after the Templar trunnion conversion

   Snapped this up after getting back from overseas. Enhanced ACR. Came with the original case and picatinny handguard, with the Geissele trigger installed. I topped it off with a Vortex Viper PST in a Bobro mount and swapped in a Surefire WARCOMP CT. Eventually I've got a long airsoft handguard coming then it's getting a Rhodie paintjob. |

Also I want one with a QD trunnion too. |

I like how the RPM one extends in front of the receiver rail on the top and I already paid for my RPM too lol. I think they are finishing up a run of Tavor rails before they all go to anodize, so hopefully I'll have it by Christmas |

Guess they'd move the stuff from Huntsville back? Reading interviews with the new ownership makes them sound pretty fuddy though, not interested in LE or MIL work. Would that include semi-auto rifles? They're still waiting on updated FFLs from the ATF and apparently the old union from Ilion didn't like the at-will work offers made to some of the former employees and has been picketing the plant. I saw Roundhill had projected to be up and running by March but who knows if they'll hit that. I'd assume Roundhill assumed the Magpul license but I doubt anyone will know until they relaunch the Remington Arms website. Magpul would probably be happy smothering it. It looks like Franklin via their Crotalus Holdings company just bought the Bushmaster name and some XM15 assets. For some reason their purchase agreement wasn't included in the big document dump. The holding company name is interesting, as Crotalus is the rattlesnake genus to the Lachesis bushmaster genus. Both bushmasters and rattlesnakes belong to the pit viper family. They've filed for trademarks on XM15, Optics Ready Carbine, QRC, "You Can't Call 911 When You Are 911", BFI, etc. I'd guess they are setting up a similar AR brand to what Bushmaster was in the late 2000s, before Remington wrecked them. |

Great information! Thanks for the update. I knew it was still owned by Magpul but your description of the Remington division and sell off was the best breakdown I've read so far. I'll have to do some more research myself in the near future. |
