Here's some pics of my Micro. I had a custom long flash hider made to bring the barrel to 16.1 inches and had it silver soldered on.
It didn't change the weight or balance enough to tell but it is a lot less blasty, even though it is closer to my face now. 
The slots in the hider are 3 inches long. I need to see what it is like at night. It should be about as short and light as you can get without going NFA. I'd like to see a 16 inch super light barrel for this configuration so as not to suffer a velocity decrease. |

This picture posted on XCRcarbine.com impressed me. I like this setup a lot PDW upper with 14.5" barrel. I might have to get something like this once I get some spare cash and they become available in 2010 http://home.comcast.net/~firearmspics/XCRSF2a.jpg if you have to wait and spend that kind of cash, JUST WAIT ON AN ACR !!! Whatever?? I like both. |

I noticed the bulge in the pics and thought it was an illusion so I inspected the flash hider, The flat between the top tow ports is pushing upward. I guess that means it is directing gas upwards as it seemed like the barrel stayed pretty flat. I was suprised to see the bulge. I never would have figured that the guess would have had that affect.
I want to put a bipod on it and bag it to see if it is affecting group size when we get some better weather. |

I would be really careful as it will likely buckle or blow out the top rib at some point. |

I would go with a phantom or vortex on a mini with a 14.5" perma pinned and a 13" LOP stock. Assuming of course I had the cashola for something like that.

Length wise, not so micro. Weight or lack of, very much so. I can one hand this one so much easier.
Found some 55 grain ammo it liked as it absolutely would not group close enough to call it a group with wolf 55 grain. Thankfully it does just fine with 62 grain wolf for some cheap practice ammo but I didn't have any on my last range day and was about to freak out with the inaccuracy until I tried some other 55 grain. I have no problem with wolf 55 grain in my other 2 XCR's but this one does not shoot it well (functions perfect though). I am guessing it is the difference in 1/7 twist versus 1/9. |

Whatever?? I like both. Not quite sure what the point of this post is... your telling someone to buy an ACR(which has no release date) in a thread dedicated to an XCR?? Doesn't make much sense. |
