At the time it was released, the ACR had so much potential. Bushmaster's failure to capitalize on the platform allowed it to be eclipsed today by Sig's MCX family and CZ's Bren.
Luckily for me due to lack of sales a gun shop manager was willing to let one go NIB for $1300 becuase he was tired of looking at it vowed to get rid of it before it had a 1yr birthday on his shelf. It's been one of my favorites ever since. I will admit I was highly irritated with Bushmaster when they halted production of all things ACR while they were moving facilities. It seemed as if they keep the ACR in the closet for almost 2yrs. I believe that's where the lack of support notion came from. Now that they've finally got things back online it's looking good for the ACR.
Not a gas issue. It’s the v1 brass deflector you’re running. Upgrade to v2 you’ll be good to go. I’ve got 10.5” 5.56 + 300blkout that runs with zero issues.
these are still 1500 all over the internet.My sbr's acr runs great and with guys like Dana at templar precision supporting it anything you want can be done.He's got x39 mag and 556 lowers coming out along with custom barrel setups and lightened carries and trunnions. People need to get over the fact it says bushmaster on the side.
Yes and they didn't address the reasons they had issues, Templar Precision attempted to assist them and they deleted and ignored the possible issues. The platform is stable, have two flawless units that function perfectly.
@@Warpdrv1 I thought the the main issue that they had was the barrel losing zero. Something about the changes in quality toward to the ratchet system backing off overtime while shooting.
@@Shoppincart They have had some people have some rare issues with a bad wratchet system, have owned this gun since its inception and never had that issue swapping barrels or takedown for cleaning..... 10,000+ rounds through mine. But - There is a fix for that as well, if you so desire. Replacement Trunnion and change out the wratchet wrench barrel nut, for a standard threaded barrel nut and cut some weight (about 1 lb) at the same time. facebook.com/templarprecision/
@@Warpdrv1 i think thw issue here is consistent quality control, i have seen other reviewers shooting this with no problem and some reviewers have units with alot of malfunctions.
My experience has been that an adjustment is needed. I typically see up to a 1 MOA shift. I suspect it's because there's no way to accurately torque the barrel nut the same each time. Or maybe I should say that for myself just tightening the barrel nut by feel isn't exactly the same torque as the last time I put the barrel in, so I get a slight shift.
This is what happens when a magazine company develops a rifle, and then the most poorly run firearms company in America buys the singular prototype without really inspecting it, and has to jack up the costs because of changes needed during manufacturing, which leads to a delay getting to market a rifle that 12 or so years ago, everyone wanted. Remington is the master of coming up short, so at least in this respect, they did what we thought they would: fail.
@@ChrisCoyoteV117 If the show ever comes up on Netflix, Hulu, etc definitely check it out. In fact, as I'm typing this out i remember now. Ian won the season he was on. Top Shot season 1 i believe. Check it out :)
No, it wouldn’t do well priced at a grand. This isn’t your typical mass-produced AR-15. They have to make up the costs of production. Lowering the price just means lowering the profit margin. How do they pay for raw materials? Labor and wages? Equipment and machinery cost and maintenance? Facilities and utilities? Marketing, advertising, and shipping costs? It adds up. Therefore, no, selling this for cheap just means they take losses left and right.

CZ 807 bren 7.62 is one of hell gun
we are testing this riffle in my country
Probably in the only country in Africa using CZ 807 thats kenya
shadowblade232 two decades later and still no 308!!!
@Bhum Brahmavira I agree the MSBS was influenced by the ACR
Bushmaster didn’t ruin it, Remington did!

I 2nd Dougs statement about the brass deflector.
Yup, all issues can be addressed, especially that brass deflector upgrade. Platform has huge potential and I own 2 of them....
Did you go through Marvin to get your 300 blk Barrel? I'm getting the itch to SBR something and I think that's the route I want to take.
@@WhiteDwarfVR4 Does marvin have a website?
@@amosclark9048 don't know if it's *his* website, but you should be able to find him through nefarious arms.

I'd like to see a review of the sig mcx virtus.

Here u go
Been a fan of Iain since Top Shot! Would you also please take a look at Robinson XCR for one of your reviews? Thanks!
Yes, I'd love to see the XCR!
Are you not able to adjust the gas for the shorter barrel?
Post like 2018 ACRs started having issues and post 2019 they were quite problematic. These newer barrels definitely represent that.
My ACR DMR is AWESOME !!!
I have two SCARs and zero ACRs despite the FN costing a lot more.
2021, ACR is coming back! Hopefully it will be better this time!
It was nothing wrong with it the first time. You know what was wrong though the management.
Yes I mean better in terms of availability of rifles and parts
What shirt is Iain wearing during the hog hunt, been seeing it everywhere but can’t find the name lol
Military Arms Channel did a video on this and there were a lot of malfunctions

AMAZING !!
Does anybody know what brand/type the scope is on this ACR?
Adam Griffin looks like a Nighforce 1-8 Scope.
Sig mcx is a competitor.
Mind blowing that they still don’t offer a 300 blackout conversion
Because the pushed 6.8 so hard being another Remington brain child
TemplarPrecision offers that, got one myself.
is re-zeroing required after barrel change out?

Or maybe I should say that for myself just tightening the barrel nut by feel isn't exactly the same torque as the last time I put the barrel in, so I get a slight shift.
Still waiting for Shrubmaster to offer .300BLK barrels.
Eric Howard they’re on brownells last time I checked.
Matthew Smith no they are not.

Rip bushmaster fr
Didn't try all the barrels!
The rifle that was supposed to change the game and adopt the new modular standard. Sadly missed it's opportunity. #jakehunterr88
First time less inches made something sexier.
Where do I know this guy from?
Inrangetv? He appeared on a few videos with Karl and Russel during a match.
@@ChrisCoyoteV117
Thanks but I figured it out. He was a badass shot on some TV show i watched many years ago. Top Shot maybe?
@@DEATH_TO_TYRANTS Got me on that one. The first time I saw Ian was Inrangetv.
@@ChrisCoyoteV117

He was from Top Shot
Wtf, no kill shots?
RIP
If it was priced at a grand then it would do well. Too bad Bushmaster effed this one up.
There's no way something new to market produced by a single maker would ever be 1000 dollars.

And now Bushmaster doesn’t even exist .
Love my ACR! All the haters in the comment section obviously never had one. Go buy yourself a S&W M&P Sport losers!
Videos that did not age well for $500 please Alex
DOA
You can get all that in an XCR from Robinson
COOL ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
English people just know how to speak properly.
as i am sure u know NOW, BUSHMASTER KA-PUT, NO MAS, SYONARA, NYET, EXTINCT!
Get rid of the music, it's bloody awful.
