Quote HistoryOriginally Posted By cherenkov: In the absence of finding a reasonably priced ARX100 in "Tan" I am considering coloring/coating mine with a finish. What is the actual color used for the ARX100? It isn't FDE or Magpul FDE anyway, it has more yellow/brown like RAL 7008 which is what I suspect it might be.

Here's a couple shots in somewhat crap lighting to give you an idea of the colors.
So-called FDE ARX, Magpul FDE RVG, no-name FDE ladder rail covers, Magpul/Bushmaster ACR Coyote Brown MBUS, MCT .308 PMAG, Aervoe Field Drab-painted AUG PMAG The Magpul/Bushmaster ACR Coyote Brown is a near perfect match, with the Aervoe Field Drab pretty close. I think the official color spec for coyote brown/field drab is Fed Standard 30118 which Cerakote does offer in a few of their product lines.  Attached File Attached File |

Just got another ARX 100. Someone was selling a lightly used one and I got it for $1,050. Seems like a pretty solid deal especially in today's market.

A lot of people are dumping them for cheap. That is why I bought a second one just to use for spare parts/extra barrel.

I got mine on Gunbroker. This guy had two of them and was getting rid of one and he had only put a single mag through it, so it's basically new.
You can get the black ones for around $1,050-$1,200 it seems on GB. If you want an FDE one they're a bit pricier and seem to go around $1,600 or so. Also just FYI - Midwest Gun Works has some spare parts in. They had new 16" barrels the other day for $799 but those are sold out now. I got a spare firing pin and recoil assembly today, and those were still available last I checked. |

I'm on the hunt for one. Black is fine. Missed a local one recently.
ETA: may be working out a trade with someone local for a used one. My Canik SFX Mete Pro with a CAA Micro rig and flashlight, along with a PL-Turbo light and custom lyses OWB holster for his ARX. We shall see. |

Stopped by the BDT booth at SHOT 2024 which was roped off, but a rep was available and chatted with him by the entrance for a few minutes. NARP is unlikely to come to the commercial market. Something about company "policy" or to that effect. That is a little weird as the PMX was commercialized recently. Maybe it is just the rifle caliber stuff like the ARX160/200 and NARP. On a side note, I was miffed that they didn't bring any rimfire Tikkas so I can check them out

I am utterly pissed, mind you. Most if not ALL of the Beretta firearms I like at this point are in the past - not in the future. ... with the principal core of my interest for this entire 2024 Shot being the Indonesian PM12s which I will buy the second it lands in the US. It's in the past. Might be just me, a clear sign that at 56 I am old and I am starting to look at the past and not the future, but with the PMX being fugly (especially compared to the amazing PM12) and many other things Beretta simply having not worked out and being the usual Italian broken promises of which I have complete, lifetime experience, I may as well be done with today's Beretta and just endorse their once glorious past. Vaffanculo, Beretta!   |

They had a mannequin right at the roped off BDT entrance, it was holding the .22 version of the ARX 160. I guess they decided to not put on display the non-commercial sales stuff this year. Last year, you can hold the ARX200, not this year. Contrast that with FN & HK, they still had their unobtanium stuff on display. Heck, FN had the MRGG-A out on the main floor next to the SCARs, you can rack it, hold it, etc. IWS was in the case though, and sometimes pulled from it for meetings. |

I agree on all counts (except shotguns - whether they want to compete or not, they're competitive in that market segment). For some reason Beretta stuff works better than almost anything else for me though  I have done terrible things to my Beretta guns, and they have all been 'vabbe' in response. But then I actually liked a Fiat Palio 1.6L when I lived in LatAm, which most people thought weird for a German.

At least the so much hated HK released everything they have on the civilian market.. in EU we can have the Hk243 and different flavors of 416/417. In Italy Beretta doesn’t get much hate because it’s legal to convert MG into SA.. we can have real 70/90, BM59, Pm12.. but that’s not a Beretta decision |

Over here they realize it's more lucrative to have multiple manufacturers and see which can afford to throw the best open bar politician balls and the best pay packages for retiring flag officers.

Most things are copies of the same or similar piston systems fundamentally AR Inspired and AR180 inspired. I guess if it works why not copy - however it makes things sort of less exciting - Like how So many handguns are essentially a striker fired Glock-ish clone - is there any really big differences? I Think the ARX, could offer much more if innovated a little more Is it really done? If so can we expect to see some parts kits from Italy? : ) |
