He says what we all know: It's an fucking awesome gun.
  Just how good was the ACR? |

I guess it's a dupe, but he didn't have Garand Thumb in the title.

I saw a video on the ACR a while back. The older ones were good the latest ones had problems.
Quality control slipped big time. |

This is just regurgitation from a MAC video based on a sample of 1. I would buy any of them and I did, many of them from all years. I removed the receiver screws, applied thread locker, and reinstalled them, regardless of year made because all of them are prone to it. |

It's called an "M-1 Thumb".
I don't know where this "Garand Thumb" bullshit came from. |

According to MAC, based on a sample size of 1, that he didn't attempt to have serviced by BM. There is also the question of whether the barrel was screwed on all the way. Newer ACRs fixed the minimal issues the originals had (charging handle assemblies, brass deflectors). |

He lost all credibility years ago and has been among the worst YouTube shills for quite some time. I’m certainly not going to take his word on the ACR, particularly when there are so very many consumers and reviewers who completely disagree with his assessment. |

I love mine and will never part with it. It's been flawless after I got the replacement op-rod spring shortly after I purchased it. I have no point of reference for the later models however. |
