See the picture below....




Anyone know where the bolt release is for this rifle? Is that a BAD sorta release at the very front of the trigger
guard, where it meets the mag well??? That would be a pretty nice place for a bolt release... would be alot
quicker IMO.

I am fairly confident that is where it is.

Yes, that little piece in front of the trigger guard, just aft of the magazine well, is the bolt release (just like on a AR-180).  Press your trigger finger up on it to lock the bolt to the rear, press downward on it to release the bolt.  And it is ambidexterous.

What I notice about that picture is the distinct lack of MBUS on it.

Looking at that... it looks like the the lower half of the ACR forearm/rail is a seperate piece from the upper. you gotta look
close, but it's definately a "bolt on" 3-sided rail..... COOL!

It is actually a 'slide on' piece.

Okay, more way back time:

I see it now.  The handguard extends downward, inline with that rear pin.  The older pic has a slimmer handguard (which I've seen with stuff railed on, thru those slots).
