what if at the end of a count down they just release a release date for 2 weeks from it? 
Quoted:
I will wait till they come down in price, work out the bugs, get all the cool aftermarket stuff, and guys here put them through the paces. Then I will pick one up. I think them delaying it so much was to correct issues they have with it, but I'd still agree with you, the market needs a new rifle that is an alternative to the AR15, one that competes with ALL features of it, including reliability and aftermarket parts. Hopefully they can get the price down from the over $2k range that the SCAR is currently at, although it's understandable to have them at a higher rate at launch, they know they won't be able to keep it that high in price, I was hoping Magpul's idea of undercutting commercial competitor's price (at least with the PMAG and MBUIS) while keeping/surpassing quality would be present after they sold the Masada |

OMG OMG OMG OMG OMG their little flash video is broken and wont fully load/play anything besides it scrolling over the buttstock. also the wiki states: The ACR is currently slated to be available in 2nd Quarter 2010 for military, government and commercial customers. The ACR will be available in greater quantity (tens of thousands) in the commercial marketplace in 2010 [9]. It is anticipated that the rifle will have suggested retail price starting at $1,400 - $ 1700.00 (per Bushmaster Rep) with semi-automatic versions available to the commercial market, and selective-fire versions available for military and law enforcement under the Remington name.[10] As of October 2009, Bushmaster has announced that several consumer versions of the ACR would be available in the first half of 2010. [11]
my guess is there are a few different variants including a possible cali legal config. edit: photos of a civilian late model prototype, possibly final production model (Mohitojj's post) for those who haven't seen it: http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=2&f=124&t=162008&page=13/ notice how you can just drop in the trigger group, looks like it will be extremely easy for repainting/refinishing if they don't offer other colors. Also looks like it will be extremely easy to send this in for warranty issues, just send in the specific part that's having issues. I suspect that Bushmaster is going to have many different options/calibers/accessories. |

Until I see lower halves & other parts that allow it to become a 7.62x39 or 5.45x39––in short anything other than just another 5.56~6.X conversion––just like Magpul originally demoed, it'll be yet-another AR15/SCAR/XCR/Daewoo-blend monstrosity with nothing distinctively unusual or different to add to the mix.
There, I said it. 
Until it has enough modules out to have the almost G36-ish non-railed handguards (like the original prototypes) and REAL caliber change (like the original prototype) that would allow it to take on all comers in the AR and AK worlds.....it's just another plastic-based, ho-hum option, without enough setting it apart from either a SCAR or regular AR15 to make me part with my money. A "modular" rifle that is no more modular than an AR15 because all the promised and proposed "modules" got passed over or scrapped off the board.....isn't. BUT––to each their own. I'll gladly sit here and watch y'all spend money on it, and wait to see if the real "interchangeability" options ever bear fruit...but then again, for that matter SIG also hasn't released any SIG 250 trigger packs in SA/DA like were originally promised, etc etc etc. |
| I think I first learnt of the Masada in 2006 (or maybe 07). Since then I've been filling an old 8 gallon water fountain jug with loose change and singles. It's probably about 3/4 full and I've been told it probably contains 2-3 thousand dollars. For better or worse, I've completly lost interest in buying an ACR. |

Quoted: Quoted: will they make a version for ban states? They're offering a Basic and Enhanced model.. The basic appears to have a fixed stock. So, you simply need to have the flash suppressor replaced with a muzzle brake. The flash suppressor's fine, we'd just need a bullet button. |

It gets old fast. 
Anyway, DO WANT ACR! |

Yep. I'll buy one when I can convert between 7.62x39 and 5.45x39, with something CLOSELY resembling the original foregrip. |
