I’m surprised this isn’t being talked about here.
I found this at TOS.
I don’t know if it’s a fake picture or not, looks real to me.
Very cool
I wonder how it stacks up price-wise to the SCAR-H and .308 ACR that is supposedly in the works. Im guessing decently cheaper than both
That’s just the prototype.
I’ve been to Robarm and seen the drawings of the final version. There are several noteworthy differences.
sighs
thats a good looking gun.
care to tells us what some of the differance are? I promise I wll not tell anybody
The XCR-M .308 will feature a full mil-spec monolithic rail system. Meaning, it wont have a relief cut down the middle of the rail.
The other changes will be kept close to Robarm till the -M is closer to release.

…which will be in two weeks…lol/jk:p
I wonder what the $$$ will be. Ergonomically perfect, tough internals, rails, and in 308.
Ain’t gonna be less than $2,000.
I like a lot of Robarm stuff - but I just can’t get past the feeling that if I ever need parts/support in the future it’s not going to be available.
They have a track record that speaks to the future deliverables mess I fear.
That’s why you buy what you’ll need in the next 30 years from the start. What’s really important is small parts kits that have pins, springs, trigger components, allen screws (lol some people hate the xcr for that), etc, and a spare BCG/Piston assembley.
The way I see it, it seems like most people barely put enough rounds in their new wonder rifle to cause a parts breakage before they sell it for the next awesome “reload faster than light” rifle that comes out.
I wonder if that will also mean a change to the XCR-L as well. I hope the new stock and ambi-mag release are going to come out at the same time as the XCR-M or sooner.
In that case I am on 1.5 upgrades above the original MBR with a L1A1. :rolleyes: This keeps the battery of arms very close to each other, L1A1 and XCR-M. But with a better/more available magazine in the XCR-M. Hopefully a more accurate rifle too.
I told the engineers at Robarm to get the SBR-M model done ASAP.
That is more my speed
SR/Magpul mags, correct?
That SBR looks wicked.
Yes, SR25/PMAG.
About fucking time this happened.
Is this going to be carried over to the 5.56 version?
Wow, I’m liking the SBR version a lot anxiously awaits to hear price
That SBR will give you AK-47 ballistics, but with two times the recoil and muzzle blast.
Awesome. :meeting:
The SBR is photoshopped by VB using the original picture.
Just for informations sake.
Supposedly, RobArms will be ready to take pre-orders for this rifle in the next couple of weeks. I’m not sure if they will require a deposit, but I’m a little skeptical of the announcement.
You see, I’m an XCR-L owner for the past 3.5 years who has not had a real problem with my weapon. That is because I’ve only fired about 2000 rounds thru it. While this may seem odd at first, I’ll elaborate to clear things up a bit. I bought my XCR-L when it was the first civilian SCAR compliant weapon - a true marvel of modern engineering with ambi bolt release, quick-change barrel, non-reciprocating side charging handle, etc. Things were looking great about 2.5 years ago when Alex promised a SCAR stock, multiple caliber conversions, a 1:7 twist barrel and other goodies. He even hired a talented customer service liaison to coordinate repairs and upgrades.
Fast forward to today and only about 1/2 of the promises have been fulfilled - none in a timely manner. The stock is still not ready for prime time (just a few more weeks guys) and I’m still stuck with a 1:9 twist barrel. In addition, the girl who coordinated their CS shop left and their CS has already started to regress to the Robinson of old.
So, I refuse to invest any real training, time, or funds into a platform that will not evolve and that has no reliable source of parts/support. I just decided to take off the optics and relegate my “perfect” XCR-L to the back of my safe unless someone needs a bludgeoning to the head. I’ll spend my time on the range with AR platforms that have reliable support and parts sourcing.
As for the XCR-M, RobArms can kiss my ass if they think that I’m going to send money to pre-order a weapon that has been promised as “almost ready” for 3 years. From what I can tell, their shop is in a state of disarray and cannot handle the support for the XCR-L, not to mention another platform. I especially love how they announced the pending arrival of the XCR-M and then asked, “what barrel lengths do you guys want?” Jeeez…
Well, I think it is sexy!
Thankfully, I caught your post before you went back and edited it
Care to explain why you say you only shot 250 rounds when on 09-18-2009, 03:16 AM you said the following
I’ve had an Aimpoint Comp M4 and 3X magnifier mounted on my XCR for 1.5 years - both with Larue mounts. I’ve never had a problem with several thousand rounds fired. Having said that, this is now a range gun and I’ve never put it thru a class or run it thru the mud.
There is a big difference between 1.5 and 3.5 years (only a year has passed), and even a bigger difference between 250 and 2000…
So which is it? Correct me if I am completely off base.
