[zushikikato]

This was today

I love the casv + UbR set up very nice!

The basic ACR is the one with plastic handguard and NO rails, also a fixed stock...... $2100 most places. Enhanced ACR has railed forearm and adjustable stock...... $2700 most places..... Am I wrong?

Yes, if you don't buy on impulse and look around you will find them for under $2k for the enhanced all day long. I looked on gunbroker and you can see how much prices have gone down.

LWRC M6A3 is my most accurate AR. Very reliable, soft recoil, the BCG requires very little lubrication so the chamber does not get dirty. The gas on OFF is great if you are collecting your brass.

From what I gather much of the advantage of the ACR is the modularity. Unless you intend on exploiting that significantly go with LWRC or another quality piston AR for a lot less.

Are you kidding me...LWRCI. I own the M6A2 now and just pre-ordered a SPR.

The ACR, while tacti-cool, is just waaaayyyyy to proprietary.

BTW, Arizona State Police just swapped out all their Colt AR's for LWRCI's.

First post. I just bought the tricon LWRC M6A2 as my first rifle and I pick it up next Saturday. I went with that because my brother has an M6A2 that he bought about two years ago and he said from his own experience in the military that is by far the best rifle of it's kind he's ever fired. He has somewhere in the 15k range of rounds through it without ever having completely cleaned it, other than a bore snake through the barrel from time to time.

Get the LWRC. I have a M6A1 and it is reliable. best part is that it uses all my AR parts from my DI AR's. In my opinion though, starting out with a quality DI rifle is the best way to go. I have owned 2 piston ARs in the past couple years, but dozens of DI AR's. My M6A1 is more of a safe queen now, it is one heavy ish.

Still waiting for my CA DL / ID so I can finally buy a firearm. I was originally set on a LaRue OBR 5.56, but they might go out of stock soon, and god knows when the DL will show up in the mail.

So the question is, should I get the Bushmaster ACR Enhanced or LWRC M6A#?

Are the ACRs performing good? I watched one or two videos on a person having extraction failures on the ACR. What about LWRC? What're the pros and cons of each rifle?

Buy both and have fun.....

LWRC M6A3 only because i just got one.

I did some extensive searching into the piston guns before I bought mine, and I settled on the LWRC. Aside from being one of the best piston systems around, the overall build quality is outstanding! They call them the Rolls Royce of AR-15s for a reason. Their barrels are also surpass Bushmasters barrels in quality, life-span, and accuracy by leaps and bounds.

Any of their models will suit you very well. A1, A2, A3 or even their new Lightweight model featuring a Pencil barrel. ETA is later this year on those. I own an M6A3 myself like many here, and you will not be disappointed.

2 weeks ago I broke the 3000 round mark on mine, still no jams. The closest I had to a jam, was where my rifle has so much fouling it it. And this fouling was dirt, clay, and dust from the environment, there was so much fouling the bolt short stroked on me. I merely cranked open the gas system, and it kept on chugging. They are a beast, you can't go wrong.

If you ever replace the receiver end plate, for the love of god re-stake the castle nut. I say this from experience.

As a very happy owner of an ACR, and a happy owner of an M6- you gotta decide what you'll be doing with the gun. And try ti identify yourself as a chronic over-acecssorizer of guns. If you are infected with COAG, you'll do yourself a favor to get the ACR. All this talk of accessories...- dude- just a spring kit and muzzle brake make the ACR shine.

The M6- cheaper to start, yes, a littel front heavy, and still just a basic ar config, albeit the best AR availaible in my professional opinion.

If your'e a car guy, I can make this familiarization:

AR15- Mopar
AK- jeep
ACR-HumV with leather seats and an 8 speed titronic flappy paddle gearbox with an automatic setting. And a DVD player.

Ahhhh No, it's not the most accurate piston AR style on the Market, I owed the M6A1, M6A2, and M6A3 (old the A2 & A3). It will do 1.5" @100 yards with most bullet weights (53, 55, 62, 69, 75, 77) made to Match spec, the heavy barrel helped but I could not get it to do an 1". I cannot comment on the ACR since I've never owned one. I replaced my LWRC with a FN SCAR 16s, and yes the SCAR will do sub half inch groups specailly with 53gr match ammo. Keep in mind all test done on solid rest with Nightforce 5.5-22X NXS scope mounted to a Larue LT-104...

He was not saying his M6A3 is THE most accurate AR, he said it was HIS most accurate AR.

And you're correct in comparing the ACR to the HMMMWV. Too heavy, too expensive, and crappy mileage.

The Bushy is a better looking gun.
