why get an ar-15 when the ACR is out?

[Unit3960]

If the price is right, I'll get one. Eventually all the bugs will be worked out, then all of the sudden up grade kits will be available like the AR and it will probably be more expensive to acquire. If I get one and I'm wrong, worse case scenerio I am stuck with a looker that isn't worth scrap...but I'll still have my AR. I still like to read everyone's opinion because I learn alot from all the experience collector's in this Forum. Thanks you all.

A gun I can't trust my life to should cost less than a .22LR, not 2300 dollars.

They don't.... research before you post... On GunBroker they are selling for 1750 or around there.

The internet has enough bad information....google is your friend

First of all, I don't buy firearms on the web. I'd rather support a local shop. When everything is said and done, the web doesn't save me that much coin.

Second, I'm not aware of any local shop selling an ACR at that price point. If you've seen them local for 1750, I'd like to hear where.

Lastly, this price drop must be recent because I've been price watching guns. It's nice to see them coming down, but 1750 is still too high. Well....too high for me.

BTW....Google's not my friend; it's my best friend. I love me some Google Shopping.

I passed on an opportunity to buy an ACR at a gun store in Alabama for $1499.99. He had 10+ available at that price.

Here you go. A Shrubby ACR on Gunbroker for $1750.

That's about $1749 more than I'd spend on one. I'd put that money towards a SCAR. just my $.02

Just your $.02, sounds more like your $1.00.

I have several rifles that cost over 1700 dollars so I would buy the ACR for that price, but rather wait to see how the rifle evolves (caliber/barrel conversions etc...) a little bit. I am in no rush right now to own one, because there are so many other rifles that are higher on my want list.

Spikes already has barrels for these. I have a 10.5" on my order list.

ACR is a solution looking for a problem. It should be selling for $1000, not 1750+. It does nothing that a AR cannot do cheaper.

 

[CallMeIshmael]

what kind of other rifles are higher up on your hitlist Wayne1one?
