This is a new forum so the best way to get the ball rolling is with introductions.
I bought my XCR 5.56mm only a few months ago but I love shooting it and since there is a lack of online forums dedicated to the rifle I decided to start one, so here we are.
Hey guys! Joined up last night or should I say, the wee hours of this morning. Ordered my XCR from Atlantic Arms last Thursday. Expecting delivery to my friendly neighborhood gun runner in a couple of days. My first black rifle, unless you count my Kel-Tec SU-16C.
I go by the same handle on a bunch of forums, XD, ARF, TFL, THR, Saiga and KTOG, my favorite. Was cruisin' the internet looking for BUIS and stumbled across this place. Nice! Spent a couple of hours last night and a couple more today reading here and already learned a lot. Thanks for the kind help and info!
I'm new to the XCR, but not to guns. Dad introduced me to his hunting rifles/shotguns/pistols and taught me about safety beginning at age 10 or so. In the last two years I have built up a respectable collection. A mixture of cheap and not so cheap; common and not so common. The XCR is one I've been lusting over for almost 2 years now. I expect it will be the latest and finest weapon in a stable of 35.
I'm meeting a few friends from the KTOG forum at Knob Creek Range in KY in 2 weeks to show off the new XCR. You're all welcome to join us!
I have been a member of a number of forums as well but I think this one is a little different. I say that because we all have the same passion for the very same rifle, not the same kind of rifle, but the same rifle. That being said this place seems to have a friendly atmosphere where we all try to get along and respect eachothers views and opinions.
If you feel so inclined, please post a photo of yourself in the Gallery section so we know who we are chatting to. Even the monkey!
Be safe, and I look forward to getting to know you and all the other members of our comminuty.
I just joined this forum today.... and honestly find myself hugely excited with the Robinson XCR (although I've not had the opportunity to check one out "in the flesh"), specifically the 7.62 NATO version allegedly due out soon.
A little about myself: I retired from the U.S. Army after 21 years of service, during 2004, and since have been working in varying capacities supporting military operations out at Fort Lewis, Washington. My only other firearm at this time is a TROMIX Saiga-20, and I've "got the bug" to acquire a piston-driven AR-type rifle. From what I've read thus far, the XCR absolutely seems to be the ticket!
Oh yes, and I have badman400 to thank for bringing this forum to my attention, as well as this exemplary firearm!
I just register yesterday; I am currently waiting for delivery of my new XCR rifle. Hopefully it will be getting to me in two weeks. That’s all for today. ;D
Good to have you on board, it shouldn't be too much longer, I know that they have the rifles put together and were just waiting on the barrels to put on them. I have one in this batch too and I can't wait either!
Got my XCR a couple weeks ago, light barrel, folding/collapsing stock, Troy folding BUIS. Believe it or not, I have not had a chance to shoot it yet, just admire it.
The XCR is my very first rifle, hence my name on here, so I apologize in advance if i use incorrect terminology. I have only been shooting for a few short years, in general, primarily handguns.
You have no idea how I could blow those guys back to kindergarden easily, but it will be a long post with much cut and pasting. I don't want to ruin this thread.
OK, give Robarms a break ,i know i was hard on them,but i called Terra and she was ,Johnny on the spot.I was a Navy Weapons Officer , O ,6 ,at first i wasnt impressed. Trust me boys i am hammering this gun! I have tossed it into mud, never clean it, Shoot garbage through it , It still works ,every time .Terra is the best they have, she is five star. sorry about the buffer thing ,i think you figured it out. Robinson ,pay her ,she is your best hand.
I've had an XCR for well over a year now, serial number is under 200, standard folding stock with BUIS and various optics on top. Right now it has an EOTECH with an Alexander arms scout rail and brass catcher. Love the rifle just hate the trigger, I've been vocal about it but Alex is dealing with it so I'm interested in seeing the next iterations.
I've used most NATO and Soviet era weapons along with a few specials. Part of the joy of having been both a weapons and CQB instructor. I'm an ex-soldier from accross the pond and do a bit of consulting now and again.
I've got one or two firearms and shoot enough to make reloading an additional hobby. Currently using a couple of Dillon 650s and a Forrester Co-Ax for the realy serious stuff. An average day's sooting involves around 700-1000 rounds.
Just found out about this forum from Terra,and I joined last night.I have my XCR about 2 months and I love it.I hope to learn alot from this forum.And I whole heartly agree about all the people that work at Robinson Arms,they are happy to help you.I am also waiting for the 7.62x39 converson kit,I hope it comes soon.I also hope I can add to the forum.
