Here is an article from the Gallitan News showing a recent visit by Senator Hagerty to the Beretta plant. It has a good picture of a some of ARX's in racks presumably for the civilian market. Although the mags look backward to me.

Yep, you can clearly see the notch in the mag. Maybe they do that to keep the gun and mag together platonically? Safe sex style.

And those are the ASC brand mags that they've been shipping with this year.

You can see the followers on the magazines too. It’s probably a simple safety measure to quickly and visually make sure there are no loaded magazines in the rifles and that each rifle has a magazine.

My local retail shops were selling them for under $1300. Not sure why they're so much more on-line?
I do recommend them to all Lefties. |
|
|
I know it's probably somewhere in this 109 page (so far) thread, but where are you guys having your SBR engraving done on the ARX and what does the engraving shop have to do special to engrave the plastic receiver?
I hear stories of melted receivers, and the local guy won't touch it. I thought about having it done on the barrel, but unless it was done on the gas block, it would not be readily visible. |

An engraver did mine on the right side of the receiver just below the ejection port. Came out fine.
|
|
|
Mine was also engraved on the right side of the receiver and came out great.

I can't speak specifically to the ARX's polymer but I've had both a UMP clone and Scorpion SBRs engraved on the polymer receiver without issue. Mister Guns in Plano TX and Gray Laser in San Antonio TX respectively. While Mister Guns is local-only (which is awesome for me, not so much for you!) Gray Laser will take shipped receivers. Ident Marking in Rockwall TX does both local and shipped, I've had several receivers done by them just not any polymer ones. OMG IT SPINS knows what he's doing though.
It shouldn't be too hard for someone that's experienced in NFA engraving. The local little league trophy shop guy, ehhhh, but a shop competent with laser engraving should know how to dial in their laser to avoid melting the plastic. |

I had mine engraved on the barrel.

I wish I still had the one I had bought new when they were $800. I saw 2 today on the shelf at Scheels in The Colony but at $1600 they can keep them. It was neat at $800. Twice that, I'd rather get a Bren or Galil.

I finally settled on what flash suppressor to use on my ARXs and a couple other rifles! After years of indecision (and not really being a fan of the A2 flash suppressor, especially on lightweight barrels), I went with the A1 flash suppressor.
I originally wanted to use the Smith Vortex G6A4 since it's my favorite, but I was concerned over what it's self tightening effect would have on the ARX's loosely supported quick change barrel and it's accuracy, as well as it potentially causing issues with the polymer alignment tabs that support the barrel extension. I considered the B.E. Meyers 249F too, but in looking at it I thought it might have some self tightening effect as well. I also considered the Forward Controls Design 6315 but it's just a really nice A2 flash suppressor in the end. So yesterday I installed A1s on all 3 of my ARXs and a Colt 6720, and I also tested out a new crush washer that I can't recommend highly enough (the JP Enterprises Double crush washer). The JP crush washer crushes with a consistent 15 foot pounds of torque over it's nearly 1 and 1/2 turn range and it also keeps itself well centered despite the ARX barrels relief cut threads which make centering a regular crush washer a near impossible challenge. |

I use a vortex on my SBR, and it's fine. Works well to cut down the blast profile. The self-tightening isn't really that much from when I've used it, I can't see it actually affecting the barrel.
Especially not with how little I shoot, even before ammo started being made with unobtanium. |

View Quote My silencer is a Griffon M4SD, so I did try out the A1/ A2 and their normal brake, but the blowback from the silencer was a bit irritating and without the silencer they didn't break up the blast as well, so I went with the Vortex. With a 16", the A1 is perfectly fine and I think that's what I actually have on the 16" barrel. Optics wise, I can't be paying for no M5S, I got a PRO and with the spacer removed it's a perfect fit. :) |

I really wish I could go with the Aimpoint Pro and I did consider it a little, but my OCD must have integrated mounts which really limits my options. I also considered the Trijicon MRO since I could easily afford to get three of them at once, but the parallax issues with the MRO are a deal breaker. I considered EOTech as well, but the optic height is too high and I really want to be as close to the rail as possible... So either the Aimpoint T2, M5 or M5S with no spacers is about perfect. |

It can get expensive quick though! I have one of the little Bushnell TRS25 $60 red dots that I use on guns before deciding what to put on stuff, and that's never had an issue either, so we're probably over thinking stuff. :) |

Glad I saw your post because I unsubscribed a while back.
Ordered Troy micro BUIS for it Also ordered the extended charging handle ...I haven't read on it in a while but does anyone have a good method for permanently attaching a cheek piece to the gun? I'm going to run irons on it for a while, but eventually I'll want to toss an ACOG on it. I may SBR it eventually as well. I don't know what it is... but the gun has always looked odd with the long pencil barrel in rifle format. With the 10.5" barrel I find it to be one of the coolest looking guns there is. |

The craziness continues. I was picking up a new rifle at a pawn shop that was doing an FFL transfer for me yesterday. They had a used ARX-100 on their rack for $2200.00.

Honestly I could just send the barrel in for a chop and have a brake pinned/welded as well. |

Snagged one for under $1200 OTD
Am I understanding correctly that there’s enough teal on the barrel to cut it to 14.5? |

View Quote You can have a barrel cut and re-threaded and there is a "tiny" amount of shoulder - I had one done cut to 12.5" + long flash hider for looks - It wasn't enough to satisfy so I went SBR instead. Interesting for that cut down however is gun functioned fine without enlarging gas ports! The gun is a great platform and a few refinements would make it shine (Grip Frame that allows replaceable AR pistol grips, removable front rails that don't have screw spines sticking out, and some different butt stocks that could be swapped out) |

I am thinking of getting one cut to 12.5. The 10.5 bbl has dropped off of the Beretta USA website and they told me that they were not sure when or if they would be offering it again. |

Thanks for the info and photos. I'd feel better about cutting my 16in bbl if I can keep the reliability and the ability to pin/weld at a later date if I need to make it a non-SBR.
I do wish I would have bought another 16 inch bbl when Brownells started getting ARX parts years ago. They were around $400, now they are listed at $1000 and out of stock or a special order item. |

View Quote Good thinking - If you want to sell as a non-NFA it will be an easy conversion back to 16" - Pin it and your a non-NFA which can be easier to sell. That is sort of why I have clung to my barrel just in case I want to move it as non-NFA and sell the SBR factory barrel. |

Here's the route I went to get rid of the long pencil barrel look. This slips over the barrel and threads just before the FH. I've had this in my parts bin for over 15 years and finally get to use it. |

Finally got around to posting a pic of the buttpad from Magpul I put on my ARX, had to be sanded and fitted, used acylic mix for bonding.

This is the Beretta USA response from April '21 that I have previously posted. The Italian made magazines and the 10.5 barrel kits aren't even listed on the website anymore. I should have bought two, but I want to be positive...
Thank you for contacting the Beretta USA Online Products Store It looks like that kit is not available currently, and we do not have an ETA as to when or if it will be offered on our website. We thank you for choosing Beretta. Best regards, Beretta Customer Support |

The only other option is chopping down a std profile & drilling the gas ports. Then again, the N setting could be used for unsuppressed & S for suppressed with that modification, so cutting, crowning, & threading may just be the ticket.
|
|
|
FYI, everyone got the same response from Beretta when asked about the CX4 Storm being discontinued, yet a boatload showed up recently after a long hiatus, be patient.

snagged the last FDE one that G4G had for sale. I lamented not buying back when they were $800 or the factory $899 SBR's from Botach so the new price is meh, but FDE/coyote will make it all better.
