Wraps were taken off the XCR stock, along with the XCR-M DMR.
Stock fits -L and -M. DMR model features a longer rail and gas system, with a stainless barrel.

It’s nice to see the design evolving a bit.
Looking really good IMO. It’s like the XM8 but less toyish.
I’ve always kinda liked the XCR, really digging that new stock, might look into getting one of these…who knows, theres always so many new guns I want.
Finally got the rails with no center groove.
VB, has Robarms moved beyond the pre-production phases with either the XCR-M or new stock? I’ve had concerns about their financial solvency based on the long lag times between product announcement and market delivery.
Hmmmmm. I see and XCR-L and a XCR-M, what would a XCR-H look like?
I think the Robinson is an intersting option mainly because its competitors can’t get their crap together. The SCAR doesn’t seem to be lighting the world on fire and HK won’t release goodies to civies, the ACR might have 1.8lbs of suck taken out of it but options are slow to appear and can Travis still break the new version with his bare hands? Sig still can’t seem to get the US 55x series to be taken seriously.
Add a 300 Blackout barrel option. Get it into the hands of trainer and have it run by a the class "that guy’ to try to screw it up. Add on a good third-party review of the mechanics, and put people at ease about the companies future and I think they have something.
I have a Robarm M96 recon, an XCR -L and will get the H as well. I have never had an issue with any of my rifles. The fit and finish on them are better than most other “big” company weapons.
As far as the company staying open, I don’t see that being an issue. Unlike some companies Robarms decided to stay small and control their business. MSAR comes to mind they tried to grow to fast they over produced and over leveraged themselves and now they’re circling the drain. I don’t see that happening with robarm. Think about it they opened during the ban and have only gottem bigger and better since then. Also They are talking about doing another run of their m96’s. I know a lot of guys that wish they would have bought one when they were around!
Of course this is my opinion and I’m sure a lot of your will share your’s that is contrary to mine!
I really have to agree with this statement.
The XCR is about the only “next generation” assault rifle that can be configured the way people want it.
I also think that new XCR stock will be good as it doesn’t have a bunch of bulk and crap all over it.
Whoa, how long has it been? Good to see it finally released. Not for me but more power to Alex and his staff.
I am intrigued by that XCR-L with the short barrel. I want to put my hands on one. Maybe at SHOT?
Stock looks good. Sometimes I forget about the XCR, I havent seen one in the wild for a LONG time.
Wasn’t there an ambi lower in the works too?
+1 on this. I don’t need another 16inch AR wanna-b. A piston SBR, gas regulation, folding stock with out a frick’in snake logo on it would be really interesting.
They say they have a .221-300 barrel option- that will run the 300ACC round, correct?
This should be a good rifle. it’s had time to mature and there is certainly demand for it. couple of things I’d like to know:
-is there a 20"+ barrel in the works?
-is there an ambi mag release in the future and what is the status of it?
I suspect that it will be pretty front heavy with the 18" barrel. the gun is already kind of light in the back without a light barrel on the XCR-L.
Stock looks pretty good and very minimalist. it will be a hit for sure.
Variable,
How about this. I know you have some connection or whateverwith these guys, so here’s the deal. Tell them to build that XCR-L thing in the SBR version like it’s pictured and I am 99% sure I would get one.
I see potential in it- but we don’t need anymore regurgitated bullshit or vaporware that won’t hit the market until the Führer bans guns.
+1
Not a bad looking gun in theory.
Just as an FYI, that upper length has been available for a couple of years now. I posted an AAR when I took it through class a ways back. The only difference is the new stock which should be out in a bit.
I’ve had it with 7.62 and 5.56 caliber conversions, but my upper is the older design. I might get a new design though once the stock is done.
I want a 16" or 14.5" version so bad!
I would buy a SBR in 300 BLK. Looking forward to some reviews.

I’m seriously considering the XCR-M over the SCAR. Anyone know of the the Robinson takes .308 PMAGs?
