He says what we all know: It's an fucking awesome gun.

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.
In a society of lunatics, is the sane man really king?
If it's not spelled the same, it's a different bleeping word.
Ignorance is common, just not evenly distributed.

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).

MAC is a hack who shits on any brand that doesn’t sponsor him and send him tons of free shit. 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.

Yeah I don't care for him much anymore. It's funny though years ago he loved the ACR and even said he preferred it over the SCAR. Then he got a newer one that had issues and he poo-poo'd them.

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.
