Remington ACR, Bushmaster ACR

Reactions: 
Remington ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle)








There are four models (ACR SS 16M B, ACR SS 16M C, ACR FR 16M B and ACR FR 16M C ). Essentially there are two colors (Black and "Coyote Brown") and two types (Basic and Enhanced). Each model is available in 5.56mm or 6.8 SPC (but can be quickly swapped from one caliber to the other by changing barrel and bolt head).

The Basic model features:
16.5-inch cold hammer-forged barrel system
A2 birdcage-style suppressor
Magpul MBUS iron sights
A-Frame style stock
Free floating monolithic top rail.

The Enhanced model adds the following features:
Three sided handguard rail ( giving a quad rail setup with the monolithic top rail at 12 o'clock ).
AAC Blackout flash hider
6 position folding stock. This stock is what we all think of as "THE" ACR stock.

The suggested retail price for the Basic models is $2,685 and for the enhanced it is $3,061! This is what I expected, although many were hoping for it to fall into the $1000-$2000 price range.

  1. Forget that! They've been on the crack pipe too long!

    I can pick up a billet AR with everything including an ACOG for that ridiculous price...plus when the SHTF parts are easier to come by!

    Too think I've been waiting for this day with cash tucked away for almost two years....never buying another Bushmaster product and it better be a good day to think about Magpul who i've loved until now!
