Recently during our Thanksgiving gathering with my mother husband's family I spoke to my mothers brother-in-law.He is a retired Marine Corps Colonel and now works for the D.O.D..I took the XCR as most there are either military or retired,and are extreme gun-nuts like myself.Anyway,we have had many discussions about the possible replacements for the M16/M4 and he was aware of Robinson company,but had never seen an XCR in person.
Needless to say he was very impressed and wanted to shoot it.He didn't seem to care for the S.C.A.R. for reasons he didn't seem to be able to discuss.For what it's worth,he said he was going to suggest to whomever he "knows",that the XCR deserves a serious look.Then he went on to say how they were unsure of potential budget cuts due to the current political situation.
We discused the many virtues of the rifle and the more he handled it the more impressed he was with all the advantages it holds over most any other currently available system.I have no idea if any of this means anything whatsoever,but a potential "good word" to the right ear can never hurt.
