Countdown to the Bushmaster ACR
« on: January 16, 2010, 08:07:15 AM »
It looks like the release (or release of information) on the Bushmaster ACR is set to coincide with the start of the 2010 SHOT show in a couple days. Anybody excited by this rifle?

It does look like a pretty nice rifle and very little recoil in the leaked vids. As for the price, I've heard somewhere between $1400 and $3000 (no one really knows for sure yet). I'd imagine it wouldn't be very popular with civilians at the higher range. But I could be wrong as people spend that much and more on quality AR-15s.

*pzzttt* *fizzle* Nothing. I guess we are going to have to wait on news from the SHOT show to trickle out to get more info.

I heard it's $3000.  Does the conversion parts comes with it?
