I have had my XCR for over a year now and after the break in period it replaced my department issued guns as my go to duty gun. I have over 5 K rounds with it and no problems after the first 300 rounds. As the manual said that break in was 300 rounds, I don't think of this a negative.
The gun has been shot in temps ranging from 10 to 105 F, in thunderstorms, snow, live fire exercises where it was low crawled through the woods, etc. Never a problem with it. I have shot close to 600 rounds in a day with no problems. I have slapped a scope on it and passed sniper quals using cheap, steel cases Hornady practice ammo (light barrel even).
As for those that complain about weight or length, it is a non issue. My current configuration is 14.7 barrel with pinned FH. Comparing it to our department M4's with 14.5 barrel, the guns are within a 1/4 of the same length when the stocks are set to have the same length of pull. Outfitted with the same sling, scope and flip up sights the weights are within 2 ounces. Does the XCR feel heavier, it does. When I hand someone both guns they always think the XCR is heavier, but the scale does not lie.
Overall I love the gun and am very pleased with it. I hope Robinson can keep things rolling and to continue to develop the package.
I hope to purchase an 11 to 12 inch barrel or make my own down the road. I would cut my current barrel but it shoots so nice I want to leave it as is so I can always swap between the two.
For those on the fence, get on and have confidence in it. I have done about everything I can think of with this gun short of purposely abusing it and it has always performed. I have of course shot head to head every day with AR's and one or more always has an issue. I have noticed on more than one occassion that mags that jam an AR will work in the XCR.
Don't get me wrong, I am not bashing the AR. If not for the XCR it is what I would own. They are a good gun, but the XCR is better to me. Give one a try and I think you will agree.
To give a reference, I have shot the HK G36, the sig 55X series in 16 inch, 14.5 and 8 inch barrels, micro galils, AR's and I would take the XCR over all of them, although as well made as the XCR is, the original sigs were freakin' works of art. They had to be the best manufactured weapon of this type that I have every handled.
