After  waiting  a year for this thing I wish they would have just sent my deposit back rather than sending me a rifle with a  regulatort that broke after 30 rounds and no forward assist.  What else?

Unless it's an A2-style charging handle.  If that's the case the forward assist is built in.  You fold the handle up to use the assist.  The A2 handle is curved, the A1 is squared off.

It's  a curved  handle.  So  you fold it up and push it forward to act as a forward assist?

Yup!  Glad to hear Kent has his A2 handles out.  I know he was working on them.  How about a pic?

Monkeyjoe, your hotlink fu is weak today.  It's not working.

I liked that the AXR had the A1 charging handle, I hope they keep it as an option

That acog looks about perfect for the rifle.  I guess it is a compact but does anyone of the scope gurous know if ther is anyway to mount it about 1/2 inch lower?  I have looked through lots of mounts and acog versions and can't seem to find one that can be mounted lower ( I'me only talking about magifing type ones, not the red dot types.)

looks good...you even have a black butt plate

Those little ACOGs are great on the AUG platform.  I'd probably flip the base around so the huge thumbscrews didn't get in the way, or better yet, get a LaRue base for it.

Only problem I have with the ACOG is the inability to focus the objective lens.  My eyes are getting worse with age, and I need an optic that I can focus for use w/o glasses.

I looked back and I waited about 8 months for the AXR.  It seemed like a long time.  It's a cool rifle and I have wanted one like it since before the 89 ban but would never commtt the cash. Including the scope I believe I have more into that rifle than any other I own. The top snapping off that regulator is a concern.

I sent an e-mail about the regulator.  The reply was that the problem was under investigation.
