I wonder if Bushmaster is going to follow through with this with the ACR.

I've heard 2nd quarter 2008 and 1st quarter 2009 from another site. Either way their seems to be no concrete date. I am in the market for a gas piston type AR rifle and have researched them extensively. 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. If I cannot purchase the ACR I may go with the Robinson XCR. Does anyone know when the ACR is going to be available for purchase. I’ve heard 2nd quarter 2008 and 1st quarter 2009 from another site.

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.
