You Tube has any number of disassembly video's.  After watching a lot of them it seems to me that the Bushmaster ACR is easier to disassemble than most other guns.  Am I right about that?

Also some threads here suggest that the Ruger, at least, has trouble with Wolfe ammunition.  Is that just true of the Ruger or would it apply to a gun like the Bushmaster ACR as well?

From what I've seen, it doesn't look as easy as taking down an AR, but does look pretty straight-forward.

Anyone want to take down my Ruger Mark III Huntsman?

I can personally tell you that the ACR is extremely easy to disassemble, on par with the AR. Where it is better than the AR is when it comes to cleaning. Being able to remove the barrel makes chamber cleaning incredibly simple.

Thanks!  That was a helpful answer.

Problems with wolf ammo aren't isolated to the Ruger. I'd venture to say that any brand AR available has suffered malfunctions with wolf. Some more than others. This goes for other platforms too. Can't say on the ACR though. Wolf is notorious for causing problems.

Here it is stripped down. Takes less than 60 seconds.
