I really liked the XCR but I've been wanting to try a bullpup design for a while so I figured that the MSAR was the way to go.
The XCR was a little on the heavy side but it functioned flawlessly and was accurate but I just wanted to try something different. I almost bought a LWRC but decided to save $500 and get the MSAR.
The LWRC is overpriced for what you get IMHO (
)
If you want a really reliable piston gun with AR15 ergos, just get a Daewoo K2.
If you must have a tele stock, get the DR200 and add it as a compliance part.
My brother and I had this argument.
He bought a POF P416 and thinks I'm nuts for sticking to my AK's till something fully ambidextrous
and multi caliber comes along.
The closest I've come to getting something less than optimum for a lefty is the AXR or MSAR E4
If I'm going to stock up on non-AK mags, it
will be STANAG, nothing else.
If MSAR made a 7.62x39 instead of the $$$$$ 6.8 $$$$$$, it would have been an instant must have for me.
Funny how the 6.8 crowd makes a lot of noise, but the sales are never there.
The RFB is nice.
But for the price of 308 ammo, you'd think the ammo sellers would at least add
a reach around after paying as a standard part of taking it.
The XCR still interests me, but I'd have to have a local smith add a right side charging handle.
The lack of a true MIL grade QD barrel is the really big turn off.
The dinky machine shop bolt with helicoil holding the barrel in and the fact that the rifle head spaces off of it,
does not impress me ( I'm a former machinist).
Compared to my Arsenal milled under folder AK, the XCR is a feather weight though
