Title: Is something big coming this week???
Post by: ericire12 on October 12, 2009, 08:24:18 AM: Dont buy that AK yet, Quaker. The Firearms Blog is speculating that Remington will be unveiling a civilian ACR this week.

Each year, around this time, Remington holds their new product seminar. Fellow blogger Murdoc confirmed that this year is no exception and that it will be held later this week.

Don't quote this as fact, but I think there is a good chance we will finally see the launch of the civilian Remington / Bushmaster / Magpul ACR at this seminar.

Why do I think this?

Firstly, Remington unveils their exciting new products at this event. In October 2007 we saw the launch of the Remington R-15. October last year was when the .30 Remington AR cartridge was launched.

Secondly, a few months ago Magpul said we would see the rifle unveiled late this year.

And my final reason for thinking it will be unveiled this week is that a semi-automatic version of the ACR is already in the hands of a civilian. At the recent AAC Silencer Shoot, AAC (now owned by Remington) auctioned off an ACR. The proceeds went to the Wounded Warrior Project.

Half? Tom I pretty sure I could by three for what they'll charge. Four if you factor in the cost of mags. Still, there is that poweball. ;D

I think Magpul has designed a great weapon system.
