If Robinson has been around for over 20 years, why wouldn’t they be around for another 20? You better hope SIG and CZ move all their production here, friend.... because Xiden can sign an executive order today and make all imports or your precious parts illegal. Never have to worry about that with a Robinson. |

A decent plate carrier complete with good plates, pouches, and IFAK can run you as much as a new rifle or more. There's lots of gun-related gear that hasn't really been effected by panic pricing. Optics don't seem any different (you can still get Vortex red dots from Palmetto for $120), lights and slings don't seem any different, good chest rigs are still very affordable, IFAKs and their contents haven't really changed, and Gen M3 Pmags are $15. I think since this panic has been heavily driven by first-time gun owners rather than people like us who are actually into guns, those people seem to be buying an AR15 with two mags and a few boxes of ammo and thinking they're set. The types of people driving this particular panic don't seem to be thinking they need to outfit their new AR with a red dot, light, and sling. And they especially don't seem to be thinking they need to get a chest rig and an IFAK. It's almost like the salad days only really ended for just guns and ammo. Yeah this is pretty much what I'm doing, If you already have decent rifles the XCR isn't going to reinvent the wheel and only drain your pocket. Plus the company has a habit of turning its back on its customers, I wouldn't want to wait for the third time they do. I like the IMI just not enough to ever buy one. |

XCR.
Ace is half a pound heavier and antiquated compared to the XCR. |

You already have an AUG??? Don't remember if you do or not.
 I say B&T .223 pistol if you don't already have an AUG.

The XCR is one of the few guns I regret selling. Will get another at some point.
I have a ACE "pistol" with brace in 7.62x39 and I really like it but if I had to choose one, it'd be a XCR. .02 |

OP, these questions are borderline ridiculous in GD.
Some are going hate the Gali because it's based on the AK design. Some are going to hate the XCR because or Robinson and what happened with the M96. You are going to have to develop your own likes and hates of each, then choose which one you like the most. Me, I take the M4 every time. Most perfect weapon, imo. |

I almost bought an ACE in 5.56 a few years ago. These days I might consider the BREN 2 carbine.
I wouldn't consider anything from Robinson due to the M96 deal and complete lack of customer support. I want an institution to support my product, not some guy and his 20 employees; I want my warranty to matter after an employee gets hit by a bus or something.  |

I don’t know that I have ever heard of Robinson Armament telling customers to get bent if they had an M96, but they have told people that wanted “spare” parts they couldn’t buy them. The M96 was a cool gun that turned out to be too expensive to produce. A lot has changed in manufacturing since then and the XCR is here to stay. If AR15.com’s Religious Fatwah didn’t kill Robinson, nothing can. |

The trigger group is ok, but I would love to put a Geissele trigger in it. I bet it would run like a spanked ape. You should probably talk to @XCRMonger, as she used to work there and build the rifles. She is an awesome person and can answer any questions you could possibly have about their rifle line. |

That's my fear with the XCR as well....small little company and a gun that uses proprietary parts. I'm pretty excited about the ACE |
