accurate as all get out. You put the acog on it and basically you have a very effective anti-sniper tool.

This supposedly released on 3/1/2010? I can't seem to find it for sale anywhere yet. Anyone know if there is going to be a .308 barrel for this thing?
My uncle is a part owner of a 'cop shop' in Columbia South Carolina. He told me he was only allowed to order 3 ACR's. The number of rifles you could order was based on your sales of other Bushmaster products. He informed me he submitted his purchase request the first week of Feb. As of this past Friday he has not received anything and his account has not been charged yet. According to him he's not expecting it to sell well. He said the basic ACR with fixed stock and no rail system is going to sell for $530 more than what he's able to sell SCAR's for and he can't keep SCAR's on the shelves.
This year the ACR will only be available in 5.56. Early next year the 6.8 bolts and barrels will be available from Bushmaster (another company might release them sooner). According the Magpul's Contract with Cerberus they will be manufacturing all the Polycarbonate parts and will be selling replacement/upgrades seperately. Magpul is making a replacement 7.62X39 lower receiver seeming the upper is the registered firearm.
Your quote doesn't answer the question directly, does it?
The answer is that the ACR, as it currently stands, will be not adaptable to .308. They would have to come out with a new version with a scaled up lower receiver.
Yes, I know there are more factors than just a barrel. The ACR is supposed to be able to do 5.56 and 6.8 with the same bolt, just change the barrel. I was just wondering if .308 was going to be an option as well (needing to change other parts as well of course)
I think they are only doing 5.56 and 6.8 for now.
You're mistaken... You must change out the bolt and barrel to go from 5.56 to 6.8 or vise versa. You can watch the flash annimation of this on the Bushmaster ACR website.

Seven bids and $16,000 later and the reserve hasn't even been met yet... WTF? I wish I had that type of money to devote to the purchase of something like this.

LOL, what a waste
I just sent him a PM asking if he'd split it up or take trades.
j/k
The ACR is finally out in the market place. There are now 6 of them posted on gunbroker (all black basic models). Opening bids are right around the $2700 sticker price but so have $10,000 or more "buy it now". Same price as the SCAR at the moment and you get a whole lot more with the SCAR.
I don't get the big deal with this rifle.
Its new and untested. The most press this thing has gotten is from a friggin video game. Lets run it through a few real wars first and then pretend that the $2,700 is reasonable assuming it performs well.
What a JOKE.

FOR REAL.. Before you said you'd be all over it.. I would too, but not for 2700 dollars.

The Enhanced Configuration of the ACR has a TELESCOPING stock...
Is that what you mean by "the rail one"?
I just talked to Bushmaster sales. They will have a Mass compliant (AWB version) soon. I also recently got to handle one at a shop in PA.
The Bushmaster ACR is real nice. It seems to be built very well and is very robust. I really want one!

here...wanna play with mine? its only about a month and a half old
I did not ask how soon the AWB version will be out. I'll try to talk to someone who knows better on Monday. The basic model is selling for $2,300 in free states. It would be good to know of dealers in Mass who would import it. All the have to do to make it legal here is add a muzzle brake.
