Unc said about the trigger …
Also, the ACR had an amazing out of the box trigger. I even asked if it was a special trigger and was told that was standard. Little creep and a nice clean break.
I founded TFB in 2007 and over 10 years worked tirelessly, with the help of my team, to build it up into the largest gun blog online. I retired as Editor in Chief in 2017. During my decade at TFB I was fortunate to work with the most amazing talented writers and genuinely good people!

I purchased a Bushmaster ACR Enhanced. My first trip to the range was a bit of a nightmare. I had several "slam fires" with .223 ammo, but 5.56 worked without a hitch. I am trying to resolve the problem with Bushmaster.
One round fired when releasing the the bolt with the bolt release button. Please be careful with it until you get some experience with the weapon. No one was injured, but that was due to following proper safety protocols.
FINALLY, WE GET THE ACR. AFTER YEARS... OF WAITING. I AM STILL WAITING WITH HOPE FOR THE AK MODEL. I HAVE WAY TOO MANY .223/5.56 RIFLES. CHECK OUT HITLER ACR ON YOUTUBE. IT IS HILARIOUS TO THE HARDCORE GUN FANATICS. BUSHMASTER IS COOL WITH ALL THE CALIBERS. I AM PART OF THE MARKETING PLAN WITH BUSHMASTER. I WILL PROBABLY SELL MY FN SCAR WITH SCOPE TO BUY AN ACR. AS I HAVE ANOTHER ONE NEW IN THE BOX. THE FN SCAR 16L SHOOTS GREAT AND IS A GREAT PIECE OF ENGINEERING. BELGIAN FN IS AWESOME. MY TWO SWAT FRIENDS REALLY LIKED MY SCAR 5.56. THEY WERE SHOOTING A SAVAGE .300 WINCHESTER MAG BOLT RIFLE. THEY WERE SHOOTING DEAD ON WITH THE SAVAGE AND THE SCAR. THAT IS WHY THEY ARE EXPERTS. THEY HAD TOOLS AND THEY HELPED ME ZERO IN THE SCAR. CHARLOTTE COUNTY FL HAS AN AWESOME RANGE.
