The idea was good, but ACR could hardly replace M4, as far as I remember high price + it has no significant advantages for the military, and even in the best case it would repeat the fate of SCAR-L and XM8.
My ACR is my go to rifle it’s almost criminal how Remington flopped this rifle. Thank god Templar Precision is keeping the rifle moving forward thanks to him I have a 5.56 and 300blk barrel for mine getting a 7.62x39 soon

(We all know this, but to reiterate for newer folks): OG Bushmasher (Windham, ME) was legit.

That would be more Freedom Group's fault. It was just another shitty American investment group that would impress the shareholders by cutting costs at the expense of quality so they could post cool numbers on a graph, believing we would just buy their brands because of the name. Under their ownership Remington, Marlin, Para Ordinance, DPMS, and Bushmaster all suffered. Hell, Bushmaster under FG's ownership wasn't even Bushmaster. They just bought the name, and shifted production to Remington's now defunct Illion, NY factory. What was Bushmaster restarted as Windham Weaponry as they were based in Windham, Maine. I'm sure the same could be said of all the other brands save Remington as it was their factories that made everything. Shame they keep getting the blame for shitty ownership.
Bushmaster is not out of business, it was sold to Franklin Armory and I remember reading that they do have long term plans to produce some ACRs, it's just taken a lot of time.
They have completely taken everything down that had anything to do with the ACR on the website. Don’t think we will ever see a new production ACR because they’re more worried about the run of the mill AR-15. I hope I’m wrong , even though I own one already I would 100% buy another as long as it’s sub $2,000.
Magpul retells the ACR story on RUclips yesterday, InRange releases the ACR mud test today.... Conspiracy I says! Jk, and thanks for releasing before dawn breaks from all us early risers.
Sad that we didn't get to see this platform engineered further because I loved the concept. I had an airsoft ACR as a kid and it featured the bolt lock/release in the trigger guard and it is a fantastic ergonomic feature. I have used B.A.D levers for the past few years just to get something similar on my AR15s and they work alright but I'd love to see the feature come to the AR15. I know there are things like the PDQ lever and the Griffin Ambi lowers as well as a whole host of other ambi lower designs but none of them are quite as good as the ACR in that regard.
Had an ACR, an early version such manufactured in Wyndham by Bushmaster, as featured in this video. While the gun was innovative and looked badass, it was a terrible design as is was sold. Anyone who says otherwise has not spent time with the platform. The rifle was the single most front-heavy rifle I've ever owned, and that was after having the barrel cut to 14.5" pinned. The plastic safety had poor positive engagement, and was so cheap that it broke right off after I removed it once (which you need to do in order to clean the trigger pack). It was designed with a thin stem, so this was inevitable. The QD mount near the front of the lower receiver/ rear of the front handguard served to index the handguard, but it protruded too much and made holding the rifle uncomfortable. The gun was so poorly engineered before coming to market that the charging handle would slam forward and peen the metal receiver - this was noted by most people who owned the early models, and this continued for quite a time. Keep in mind, many who have owned an ACR manufactured after Bushmaster was purchased by the Freedom Group (Remington) speak of how "great" and "desirable" the early models were as manufactured in Wyndham by Bushmaster, which doesn't give confidence that the problems were improved upon. Perhaps my biggest gripe that is overlooked and I have not seen mentioned elsewhere was the engineering of the spring guide rod. It had an end-cap that was held in place with the use of a roll pin that went through the hollow guide rod, just behind the chamber and where the bolt carrier contacts the front trunnion. One day while firing at the range the gun jammed with a live round in the chamber. I noticed that the bolt carrier was slightly out of battery and there was no way I could easily get the bolt carrier to budge. I had to keep the rifle pointed down range and smack it with a hammer on the charging handle and eventually got the bolt carrier to move. Sure enough, I saw the culprit - the roll pin moved slightly out of place, just a millimeter or so. This prevented the bolt carrier from moving forward into battery - at the same time, the bolt carrier bent the tip of the roll pin, rendering it impossible to move back into place in the field. Another downside - the bolt carrier must be fully moved forward to unlock the sled and allow removal for servicing. Basically, what happened to me at the range ended my trip, despite me being competent with basic gunsmithing. It was very difficult even back home getting the bolt carrier removed and further to get the roll pin out and replaced. Upon inspection, the guide tube for the spring was seen to be so thin, it is simply criminal that it was designed to be held secure with a roll pin through its cross-section. While this design may have been improved in future generations, it certainly is present in the one your have in the video. I loved the ACR, and still think it looks the best of the early wonder 5.56 rifles that arose during the mid/late-2000's craze to replace the M4 Carbine, including the Beretta ARX 100, SCAR 16s, Robinson XCR, HK 416 (MR556), etc. However, I would never trust this rifle over any of them. It had among the most hype but proved to be the biggest disappointment. By the way, I've owned all, but the XCR is the only one I've kept over the years - that's my endorsement.
When I played MW2 back in the day, I always used the ACR. My coworker let me shoot his ACR at the range and its pretty easy to shoot. Too bad its not manufactured anymore, id buy it lol.
I’ve never seen anyone test the PSA jakl like this. But everyone is raving over it. I’d much rather see a torture test. Love your videos keep them coming.
Aside from the ability to swap barrels fairly easily, it's not that different from a CZ Bren 2 and those are fairly reasonably priced. We've seen from Ukraine that those have been passing the real mud test pretty well!
Looking at the rifle and being familiar with BREN (both 805 and 2), it makes me wonder... Because it seems to me that those rifles have more in common with ACR/Masada (and by proxy with XM8 and G36) than with the FN SCAR with which they seem to be compared the most...
@@marty2129 Everything you mentioned is an AR18 derivative. The SCAR is the most common comparison amongst this family of weapons because it has the most pop culture significance.
Robinson XCR L and XCR M are the closest rifle to this that I've seen actually produced. It's an exchangable caliber rifle very similar to this one. It's probably just as expensive these days, but if you want something, they are being made still.
I have been waiting for this for a loong Time... And im not dissapointed for final effect. Very underestimated weapon and such a wasted potential at all.
Yeah it would be cool to see them come back and do a PSA with the price! If they could keep it low people will buy them and this test helped I would guess
Can only say about my own short stroke piston Ar but there is only piston moving back and forth and in my mind there is very little what mud can do in there. Maybe if you let it freeze around that thin piston rod then maybe it can cause single failure to extract. Overally i would go and say that piston system is not weak link in military rifles when dirt/mud is taken account. There must be a reasons why militaries around globe have mainly piston operated systems.
The ACR has a special place in my heart. I was able to get a lightly used one (tan, folding stock, non deflector, AAC flash hider model) for only a $1000! The dude didn't know the deal that was and he just needed to get rid of it. Shoots like a dream suppressed and unsuppressed and I have had 0 issues. Other than getting the AAC flash hider off. I thought the thing was welded on for a bit! Ended up breaking my big toe trying to get it off!
@riboflavinfolate3964 I did a lot of stuff that people were recommending from forums. I think what finally got it was: the AAC flash hider socket adapter, taking barrel out and putting it in a barrel vice, using a crap ton of this pine tar saw dust stuff, and a whole lot of force from the vice. I just kept going at it with my breaker bar, and it eventually started crunching through the red locktite. That was after soaking the muzzle in warm soapy water, which didn't seem to work at the time. Apparently, the water would weaken the locktite. I think it sat in my garage in the vice for a month when I finally went back and got it off. I'd probably try using a big impact rather than a breaker bar if I was doing it again. The AAC adapter is a must, though. You just won't get enough grip to apply the torque you need otherwise
Well at least you can finish the mag you were on without hassle. Curious if the Remington made ones would do better or worse, but I imagine as those are all select fire M/LE guns that they're double secret unobtainium.
I think you got the timeline mixed up a little, pretty sure Magpul sold the design to Bushmaster and Remington came later (primarily to do Mil sales). But either way, thank you (and the owner) for another great mud test.
Every time I watch InRangeTV's mud test video I keep getting flashback of their AK mud test video, the butt hurt bleeding comments of those Ak fan boys and keep hearing AK fan boys crying in the back of my head. Lol.
I think you pulled the charging handle wrong at some point. The CH only functions when you pull from ONE side and it looked like you pulled at some point from both during one of the clears.
Hey can we get a Mud test on the Desertech Quatro AR lower ? I have seen alot of people say it would probably be prone to it during a review but I haven't seen anyone test it yet with mud or dirt.
I have one, it’s a really nice gun, but it’s way too heavy / nose heavy for what it is. I was hoping they would come out with a lightweight barrel option for it which would have make a huge difference.
I really hope that one day, Palmetto State Armory picks up the rights to manufacture the ACR. This thing needs to see production from a company that at least tries to make a good product.
