Who still wants an ACR?

[TechBrute]

I want one, and I don't mind paying a couple grand for one.

HOWEVER...

The company that designed it, Magpul, is known for half baked executions. The M93 stock, for example. It was supposed to have several different lower configurations. I bought one, and they were never released. The Masada, er, ACR, is supposed to have multiple lowers, multiple stocks, multiple fore ends, multiple barrels, and multiple calibers. Until I see ANY of these things, I'll just keep my money.

*Before any Magpul fanboys get their panties in a wad, relax, I probably have more Magpul gear than you do.

I can't say I agree that Magpul has a history of half baked executions. The ACR was pretty much ruined by Bushmaster/Cerberus.

I don't know the details of the deal, and unless you work for either of the companies, I kind of doubt you do, too. Magpul was having trouble bringing the rifle to market years before Cerebus got involved. I don't doubt that Cerebus added a whole new level of SNAFU to the deal, though.

All of this is opinion based on Magpul's track record. I am not involved in the industry.
