Hello - I've been reading your forum since I became interested in the XCR. A good and informative forum indeed and best source of info on this firearm. And Ms. Shrewsbury has been responsive and helpful in the few questions I asked her.
It's been over 35 years since I fired a .223/5.56N but have decided that I want to add one to my small collection as a 60th birthday gift to self. Currently have an Arsenal AK and a Mossberg 590 and several handguns. have handled the SIG 556 (the other candidate) and found an XCR at a store in adjoining state that I plan to play with tomorrow. If I like it over the SIG (which I fully expect) I'll likely be placing an order soon with the factory since it seems nobody in Virginia currently has one. I'm already making a list of questions that I'd like to pose to this group regarding options (sights, stock, barrel, etc.). Your replies seem knowledgeable and sincere and I look forward to learning more from you all.
Thank you.
