Hello all,
I have been communicating with Alex over the possibility of being supplied with a Compete XCR-L upper so that I can change calibers by simply changing uppers.
Well here's the news. I have been authorized to let you know that RobArm will be releasing their XCR-L upper in a "stripped" condition as part of their spare parts category. The price for this "stripped" upper will be $350.00 retail. If you want to make it into a complete upper well you just need to add the required parts. Alex informed me that he designed the XCR upper to be a "consumable" part that when it wears you can simply swap it out! Brilliant!
This to me seems a very attractive alternative to swapping out barrels, especially if you are looking at making a long range setup with a high power scope!
Another thing I learnt from our communication is that continued swapping of barrels is NOT detrimental to the XCR Upper as I previously thought. Alex said that the swap might become easier the more you do it, but it won't get to the stage where you will wear out the barrel bushing to the extent that it becomes unusable. That's good news!
These uppers may not be available for a little while, or at least until they catch up with their current orders, and will appear in the RobArm spare parts section.
If I can be of any assistance with anyone wanting to go this route, just drop me an e-mail at [email protected] I will be more than happy to help.
Thanks, Roy
