Looks like Beretta only made a new semi auto trigger pack mold and simply xeroxed a second copy of the FA upper ARX-160 receiver molds. The purists and collectors will be happy with that. |

I get the purist attitude to a point. If it was just a bayonet lug or something, no big deal. I think it's kinda dumb though that you're stuck with a long section of useless rail space that could be better utilized. Having to add a separate rail just adds to the bulkiness of the handguard.

*** Anyone knows someone would be able to comfirm that ( because of the shortchange in the length of the gas piston system )
if 1) (US version) Arx-100 has more RECOILS.....muzzel jump.....etc....... THAN the 2) ( italy version) Arx-160 Did they shotchange the length of gas piston system in order for the rifle to adapt for ( use ) 300 AAC,,,...at the same time ??? Any company ready to make a replacement stock assembly unit ( foldable ) for using Mappul buttstock ?? |

So from looking at the new ARX-100 and comparing it to the ARX-160 what has changed and why?
(1) Selector lever with a 90 degree throw... Why? To make it more like the AR15? Will we never evolve past 60's era technology? No one likes the 90 degree throw on the Bushmaster ACR. (2) The stock adjustment mechanism has definitely changed... Why? (3) The handguard and gas system are shorter by about two or three inches... Why? (4) The bolt catch is now external of the trigger guard... Why? This might be able to be seen as a good thing. (5) The barrel now sports an A2 flash suppressor... Why? (6) It looks like they removed the bayonet lug... Why? (7) The contour of the barrel just in front of the barrel extension has changed to a smaller non tapered dimension... Why? (8) No automatic fire mode of course... Why? We all know why, though it is for no excusable reason. Most of these changes have not been addressed by any of the Beretta reps that I have seen. Anyone else notice any other changes on the ARX-100? Edit: I know this post comes off as bitching but that's not what it is. I would just like to know why some things have changed. I'm not really mad one way or the other yet.

Pure speculation, but maybe (hopefully) this is to be able to fit ultra short barrels since they seem to be emphasizing the quick barrel change and planned blackout barrels..? And I don't know why everyone seems so underwhelmed by this gun. So far it appears to be everything the ACR, which people were absolutely nuts about, was supposed to be and more. |

"The handguard and gas system are shorter by about two or three inches"
doubt it, likely the guy who said this did notice he compared the ARX160 w/12inch barrel and an ARX100 w/16 inch barrel also Beretta at NRA said 60-90 days till it hits the market |

Will we never evolve past 60's era technology? No one likes the 90 degree throw on the Bushmaster ACR. They have said multiple times that this model has been adapted to American tastes. We are used to 90 selectors and people will bitch more about things being different than they will small issues that are normal and known. See Windows 8 threads in GD for reference. (3) The handguard and gas system are shorter by about two or three inches... Why? If it works, why does it matter? The handguards are shorter because it is based of the A3 config, which the soldiers requested a shorter and lighter setup. (5) The barrel now sports an A2 flash suppressor... Why? They are the cheapest and most plentiful muzzle devices in the world. Most people dont give a shit whats on the end, the remainder already have a specific break/comp/FS and will switch. So spend the extra money on something else? (6) It looks like they removed the bayonet lug... Why? What was the last new design rifle that has arrived with a bayo lug? Its just not industry standard to put them on rifles, because 99% of people dont care about them in the slightest. Most of these changes have not been addressed by any of the Beretta reps that I have seen. Anyone else notice any other changes on the ARX-100? |

The gas block stops at the very front of the handguard on both the ARX-100 and the ARX-160. |

 Yes, sold all my AK and AR rifles.
Only Sig 556 and 556r ( soft shooting ) left to be replaced soon with Sig 556 Bullpup ( I'm dreamng and hoping ), Or New Modern Bullpups.
Want to keep SEMI-AUTO bullpup rifles only eventually.
 Beretta Arx-100 is too special and unique to pass it out...
BULLPUP ( 16" barrel ) IS GREAT AS YOU CAN SHOOT IT WITH ONE HAND.....

Was there something different about each of the ones on display, or was there that many there just for handling purposes? Did you test out the selector lever? Did it rub or get in the way of your trigger finger? Is FDE going to be available? Reasons for shortening the gas system/handguard? Thanks for the pics.

Ok, got mine and defarbed the flash hider. When I saw the roll pin, I had gloomy visions of the OEM flash hider being pressed on. But as you can see, it is actually fine. Standard AR15 threads 12-28 under the lightweight pot metal flash hider that comes with it, along with a cheesy rubber O-ring which will be replaced with a crush washer and standard M16A1 Flash hider at a later time. I would actually recommend an M16A1 flash hider over the A2 I put on it for the images that way you don't have to index the solid compensator portion that the A2 has. (Unless you plan on shooting prone in dusty conditions a lot. Here was the procedure. 
I used a 3/32 pin punch and framing hammer to remove the steel roll pin. A roll pin punch would have worked better and maybe saved the pin, but I could not find mine in that size and I have plenty of extra roll pins of all sizes should it ever need to go back on (doubt that). It unscrewed easily, the O-ring was not even really the right size. I don't know why Umarex went this route, a standard crush washer would have worked much better without the added complexity of the roll pin. Maybe for ban states? 
Here is a close up of the threads. Standard 12-28, except for the roll pin notch, which doesn't affect anything. 
Here is the beat up A2 flash hider I had on hand on it with a new tighter O-ring. Will put an A1 or other flashhider and crush washer on it later. This will protect the threads in the meantime. I would not shoot it with just an O-ring on it. 
Looking much better and now I know what is underneath. I would see no problems putting a can or any other 12-28 muzzle device on this rifle. 
Cleared the house with the Aimpoint PRO on it, works very well with that and bottom rail guards. This rifle is a bit bulky, but it handles well and is very light. (mandatory toes in pic) |

I handled a couple of them but I think they were all the same -- lots of folks at that show. Selector felt fine to me and didn't seem to be in my way, but I still wish they had stayed with the 45° selector. I didn't ask about either of these... just if they had an extra one they wouldn't miss so I could take one home right then. (They did not. )They did have a 300BLK conversion sitting nearby, but under glass. |

Any word on the pistol version??? Like I said, I called Beretta and asked about SBR by attaching a stock. They said it won't work but I call B.S. as in the photos it looks like the pistol has the same mechanism.

The one accuracy report on youtube shows the rifle version being insanely accurate for a semi auto .22. Seems Beretta did an outstanding job on the gun |

While it's my current favorite must-have rifle, I think they need to: make the grip removable, or else integrate removable front/rear straps into it so it can be personally customizable; integrate QD sling points into the upper (note: I recently read a rumor that this is an option, but haven't found any firm info yet); integrate an adjustable comb cheek piece into the stock.

So I'm hoping Beretta does improve the ARX with those features. |

At this point, they've invested enough in it already, so it's simply not that big of a priority any more. Of the 3 mods I mentioned, the grip would be my priority gripe. While I can live with the AR-style grip, the finger groove/notch is an annoyance all the same. Dremmeling it off would be risky. You only get 1 go at it. ETA - BTW, since the gas reg is single mode, is it even capable of hosting COTS suppressors, or does it require a bbl. with an integrated "Beretta special"? |

I see that now, I can only think of 2 reasons 1. kept gas system same but moved it closer so you cannot install a full auto bolt and the semi bolt carrier is shorter 2. kept gas system same but moved it closer which will allow it to have more energy to cycle weak ammo like wolf |

The gas block stops at the very front of the handguard on both the ARX-100 and the ARX-160. I see that now, I can only think of 2 reasons 1. kept gas system same so you cannot install a full auto bolt and the semi bolt carrier is shorter 2. kept gas system same but allowed more energy to cycle weak ammo like wold Another possibility is to improve durability and reliability. Shorter pistons weigh less and barrels with the gas block closer to the chamber flex less. |

I handled it at the 2013 NRA Convention in Houston.
I liked it better than either FN SCAR-L or Bushmaster/Magpul ACR. I wished it had more option with regards to caliber interchangeability, e.g., 5.45, 22LR, 22WMR, FN 5.7, 308, etc. Originally Posted By SKY-PUP:

Rumor on thefirearmblog stating that a .308 NATO ver - "ARX-200" - is also in the works.
I still would like to confirm whether or not this design can run a QD suppressor...? |
