| Ok Got off the phone with bushmaster. After someone posted in the industry section that bushmaster will release the ACR in late 09 to early 10 for civilian sales. The reason I posted in general discussion is to let more people know and call and let bushmaster know how disappointed you are with them. And maybe get a response from magpul |

Quoted:
The Masada should have been out long ago. Now since they dragged their feet and no paying attention to what has been going on in this country we may never get to buy the rifle........  What motivation would Bushmaster or Magpul have for delaying a product...seriously? 
|
| I said some time ago that I believed that Bushmaster would hold off on production until after the election results were in. My reasoning: why tool up for something you may not be able to sell. I stand by that opinion. Bushmaster wasn't starting from scratch on this project, since Magpul had done much of the prepatory work. |

There's a big difference between designing a rifle/prototypes and developing the industrial process that will allow you to mass produce that rifle affordably. |

Doing it right the first time? Not fucking up? Not having to recall everything off the line? Like said above, do it right or don't do it at all. |

I don't assume to know how the whole manufacturing process works. I'd bet they're working as fast as they can to tap into a market with huge potential. If they aren't able to get it to market yet, it isn't for any superficial reason.
I'm disheartened though. I hoped we'd have it soon given the political climate. |
