I bought this rifle several weeks ago. It has well over 1,000 rounds through it and I will be using it in a class in two weeks. So far I am very pleased with this rifle and the entire set-up. The Troy BUIS I have on order will arrive tomorrow so those will go on the rifle ASAP.
For those of you wondering if the XCR will digest mass quantities of steel cases Wolf ammo… It can. I broke mine in with 400 rounds of American Eagle. The rest has been 62 grain Wolf. 600 rounds may not be massive quantities but 600 rounds without any issues is a good start.
This is the basic rifle setup. The only thing missing is the Troy BUIS.
This is a shot of the new gas block adjustment knob. Very simple & fast, no tools required.
This is a crappy shot of the Smith Vortex Flash Hider. Removing the A2 was pretty easy with enough force. The Vortex went on in no time.
I went with the MagPul CTR stock. I have the commercial version. The commercial tube I had on hand is a little bit longer than a Mil-Spec tube. This gives me a little bit more LOP to accommodate my 38” sleeve length. As you can see I am also using a CTR cheek riser. This brings the height up to where it would be on an AR.
I mounted my Leupold Mark 4 MR/T 1.5 – 5 scope on my XCR. I am using a LaRue Tactical SPR mount. My SPR mount is a bit too long for the MR/T but it is what I had. Overall I love this set-up.
This is another shot of the MR/T in the LaRue SPR QR mount.
The lit reticle on the Mark4 MR/T is not visable in bright sunlight but at dusk or early in the morning it really helps. Overall the light gathering on the MR/T is outstanding. This is not a surprise to anyone who owns Leupold scopes. They work very well.
This is the BOBRO Vertical Forward Grip that I mentioned in the great big XCR thread. It locks up very solidly and I am very pleased with it.
