[ARCHIVED THREAD] - JUST RECEIVED A PRICE FROM BM ON THE ACR! YOUR ALL GOING TO BE HAPPY!!! $2,700.00 for basic!! (Page 2 of 5)
|
Quoted: Quoted: I would hold off until official word get released. This not what we have been told the base model price was going to be. I thought you guys were working with BM on this? Did you guys also agree on the 1:9? Me thinks that once the rights are sold, they are sold. Mushmaster is one to blame for this.

Sure they signed contracts/rights so they can't tell but will be interesting to see if we ever hear. I am disappointed with the price tag. Just remember that bushmaster probably also has to pay magpul a royalty on each ACR they sell. Just saying.... |

Unverified, 3rd hand scuttlebutt indicates that the final product development was out of their hands. Magpul will probably neither confirm nor deny. But said rumors make sense. 1/9 twist barrels has "Bushmaster" and not "Magul" written all over it |

Numerous folks received word from BM today, and was told $2,700.00 Hope it's just BS. |

If the ACR is over 2,500 per base model we should all boycot Bushmaster. Wait no one on here really likes a Bushy anyways, not with LMT`s and Colt`s are available.  $2,500!!?? If the base model runs over $1,500 we all should boycot BM! LOL I was trying to be fair.

Hell at $350+ per K for surplus ammo I can't afford the bullets why worry about the price of the plastic rifle. More power to you guys who can afford these toys and actually get to shoot them. I'll keep plugging along with my .22 and enveying you. yeah, that's actually one of the reasons I probably have to stick with the AR for a while, the .22 conversion kit. that's all I can afford to shoot right now too. |

Perhaps tomorrow we'll find that the joke was on everyone that was told $2,700.00 Let's hope this is all that it was. Not too much longer anyway... If it was a joke by BM, that's all the more reason to tell them to FOAD. Period. You don't jerk around your customers, or potential customers, like that...especially ones who've been as anxious as the community has been about the ACR. |

If it's really $2700 they are out of their ever living MINDS. I present the LaRue OBR a a rifle that's around
that price that's WORTH it. The OBR is fully machined billet uppers and lowers, handguards... everything. 3/4 MOA and a true work of art. The ACR is a plastic "glock" rifle. The OBR should be $1500 + more expensive than an ACR in my book, based on produxtion costs alone. WTF on this pricing.... holy shit. 
Think about it... all those injection molded parts vs. machined billet or forgings that take ALOT of machine time, finishing and anodizing.... compared to a mold that spits out a 95% finished product that's probably got $3 worth of FRP in it??? Seriously.... WTF? Pre-emptive rant over.... I'll wait until formal announcements full for full retard version.

Not sure what the fuss is. If you're gonna be an "early adopter" you get to pay the "early adopter" price, and have all the fun that experience entails.
For comparison, DSA lists a base model FAL for $1700. I'm gonna guess that the manufacturing cost for a FAL is a bit more than the ACR, especially considering the volume of each. Pricing will remain high while demand exceeds production. That's the only reasonable way to handle it. A $2700 list at release leaves a whole lot of room for further discounting. *shrug* |
Everyone just chill. Wait for the official announcement. Any CS rep can tell you anything they want until they have everything tacked. All around the ACR looks to be a very promising weapon system and should be expected to cost a bit higher than the regular AR. It was built ground up. I'm not liking the 1:9 twist either but all this bashing isn't called for just yet. If it comes out to be reasonably priced, then well and good. I'll get one for myself next year (already ordered the OBR). If it's priced too steep then maybe we can look to Remington and hope they have something reasonable for us.
