That's coming right from Hilary's mouth. "Just not the right time to take on the gun lobby". I guess they have a lot to chew on their plate and cannot afford to add on a political war with the NRA. They also know very well, banning guns will shut down some gun manufacturing. This will be suicidal for Obama to be responsible for companies that are actually striving to push them to lay off people. Bushmaster knows very well we are all waiting for the ACR. It knows, when the ACR comes out, the demand will be so high they will sell them for more than $2000. For now, they are not losing any money on weapons. In the contrary, they are making a fortune on the good old AR15 as the demand is sky-rocketing. Bottom line, be patient, save your money and wait mid summer. There will be better news about the economy, the rumor of a ban will die down and gun stores will have full shelves with reasonable prices. “Losing Faith” was right after all, the Obama administration is not going to ban any gun this 1st term.

As for the comment previously about Obama not wanting to change gun laws until his 2nd term, I am not sure what universe this guy is from but Obama within 10 days of being in office starting working on changing the gun laws. There is little chance we will ever see one of these guns on the civilian scene, A. They waited too long and now the political winds have changed and B. They waited too long. It is ashame I thought it would have been a weapon to check out but not in this lifetime. I suppose I will have to stick with my Ar15 model 6920, and the others in my arsenal. I did like this gun of all the new weapons in this class this one appealed to me more than the others. Someone should tell Bushmaster to get their heads out of the bushes and start building rifles they could sell to the public.

It also helps politically if they aren't pumping out "black guns" to the public while they seek a $100mil+ contract. As soon as FN/Colt/H&K win the contract Bushmaster will gear up for LE/Civilian sales and we'll get our guns in Q1/Q2 2010. If by some chance monkeys fly out of cows jumping over a moon shining down on snowballs lying on the ground in hell and Bushmaster gets the contract we'll never get our hands on an ACR this decade. The fact that the prototype was the name of a historic and celebrated Jewish city almost disqualifies it. The last thing the PC PR machine in Washington wants is our soldiers going to war in the Middle East with a gun "Inspired by the Jew". We all know that is BS but that is how our enemies here and abroad will spin it. Also keep in mind that the left is in charge now and 2 things at the top of their "hate" list are guns and Israel.

They wasted WAY too much time and I don't know why. They could have made a killing getting those out, but I fear they may already be too late. Magpul rocks, but I've heard a TON of complaints about Bushmaster. Somebody is dragging their feet. The one weak link in the Magpul armor is they made the Masada public years ago. If that rifle is more than $1,200.00 I will pass. Too many other options out there that are readily available. The only SCAR's I've seen on the streets are around $3,000.00 and up. No chance. What a jip. They could have made MILLIONS selling either the ACR or SCAR in the $1,500.00 ballpark (or lower) but with so much dinking around they can only hope that the military or law enforcement will be willing to pay that much. Obama won't have much interest in changing gun laws in his first term, but if he's elected to a 2nd term, we're screwed. It will be the FIRST thing he does. If I have to pay more than $1,200.00 for a rifle it better come with a free ACOG or EoTech on top of it. BUSHMASTER WHAT IN THE HECK ARE YOU WAITING FOR?

I've been reading a load of up-to-date web sites and have seen no indication to support this claim. If you have any references I can pursue, I’d greatly appreciate your details. I’ve been in the market looking to replace a variety of tactical firearms … and the ACR appears “much like the SCAR” to have a substantial gathering of operations input. This weapon has gathered my interest and I’m looking to procure a civilian version as soon as they are available. If there are no longer going to be manufactured for the civilian market … then I may need to settle back into anther series of modifications with my current arsenal. Any input or suggestions would be welcome from the community. Dan,

The elections are here and a certain candidate is on record as stating that he would love to reintroduce a new version of the Clinton Gun Ban. If the ACR is too late in being relased for sale to us mere civies, I may be looking for an alternate. As it is, I'm already seriously considering the Sig 556. It's already available and is basically a marriage of an AR-15 and the Sig 550. I’d REALLY like to get one of these.

This weapon is the best ive seen and hopefully conversion kits for 6.8, 6.5 Grendel, and 7.62 will be made available. I want to get this gun before the next election as there will likely be various firearms restrictions put into place should obama/hilary get elected.

I want to get this gun before the next election as there will likely be various firearms restrictions put into place should obama/hilary get elected. If I cannot purchase the ACR I may go with the Robinson XCR.

I just want to see it in 6.8x43mm now. The perfect caliber for urban combat in my opinion. Looks like a great weapon. I just want to see it in 6.8×43mm now.

The 5.56 is the only caliber for now and Dark Earth (black) is the only color. Hopefully Desert Tan and Olive Drap will be out along with the 7.62 models advailable like the Masada's currently.

Personally, I want one as soon as the become available. Magpul had to go with a large company, as it was too small to meet the expected demand for the rifle.

One of the selling point of the Masada was that it would support multiple calibers. I am sure they will be releasing caliber kits.

Where's the 7.62x39mm version? It's a perfect urban round, and freed from the limitations of the AK platform, with proper ergonomics and a free floated barrel, should be plenty accurate.
