People pooped on the XCR forever now new rifles look more and more like it.
XCR didn't invent anything new but Alex put a bunch of features together into a great rifle and it works well. Still a shame it's not a more popular platform.

Yeah, the weight is the biggest downside to the XCR, IMO. But, that extra 1/2 pound or so of weight is redundancy in the components. Does it *need* to be there? Not sure...never modeled it in FMEA. I wouldn't want to trade any reliability for weight savings though.Originally Posted by TTEngineer

I think you could at least take a few ounces out of the upper.
A pencil barrel option would be nice too.

He could if the rail system was also semi modular. I think it would allow better use of mlok slots and a gas diverting design when running suppressed.
I still think the -L could benefit greatly from a weight loss program; especially when the current school of thought is "lightweight, highly mobile". Speaking of which, here's an interesting anecdote on that concept (but in context of Steyr AUG).
Fool-proofing serves only one purpose: identify bigger fools.
