- Cheaper than a SCAR17s
- Takes standard 308 mags/pmags
- Looks and feels more quality than a scar17s (but a bit heavier)
- Made in the USA!!!

- Con: supposedly iffy customer service from a small company?

XCR-M vs severe conditions part 1 - sand test, water test, mud test


XCR-M vs severe conditions part 2 - hammer test, sand test (repeated due to operator error on first sand test)

Consider both rifles need to be sent in for parts and repair FNHUSA handle it better then Robarms.

While Alex Robinson did initially conceived the the XCR it still needs refinement and support(aftermarket).

Yes I agree. But if they get a US military contract, I'm sure the extra infusion of income would change all that.

Something about a guy that takes a risk to make a dream a reality appeals to me.

Besides, from the looks of it, the rifle design looks modular enough you could probably just buy a part to replace what is not working and replace it yourself.

The bad thing about the 17s is the price. If the XCR is under 2k than I'd consider it.

Nope.

It's an "assault pistol" as described by the pussies legislators that created that label.

Thanks! KK. Bummers... a pistol that uses rifle calibers (not 22LR) would have made it easy to consolidate ammo further.
