Hi, my name is Sean King. I live in Mesa, AZ.
Have a few questions regarding the XCR.
To be 100% honest, I was really looking forward to getting an ACR from Bushmaster. As most of you probably know, that is now not likely for at least a year...if ever.
One thing I disliked about the ACR was the re-use of the small bolt from the AR.
That's the major selling point (to me) about the XCR.
Is there any kind of durability assessment with the XCR's bolt vs. the AR? Mean time to failure in rounds or anything?
I am considering (if I can find and afford one) a 16" lightweight bbl with A2 FH in 5.56.
Eventually, I'd like to get the 6.8 SPC conversion (assuming a 1:11 or 1:12 twist 3-4 groove bbl will eventually be offered in the SPC II chamber).
If I decide to SBR the 6.8, do I send tax stamp paperwork to Robinson Arms before they'll ship, or is it like other AR makers (my LWRCs for example) that leave that part up to me? I don't care either way really....unless I have them send a 14.5" 6.8 bbl to a local smith to have a 1.5-2" FH permanently affixed so as to avoid the tax stamp hassle (been through that with my LWRCs already). Perhaps I can just pay RA to permanently affix a FH of my choosing to a 14.5" bbl??
I'm sure I'll have other questions....but the wife is calling me to dinner.
Thanks in advance,
Sean
