Are You OnPoint?

That’s it, my fine feathered friends… I’m going to pull a Lee Corso and declare a winner between the FN SCAR and the Remington ACR. Between the two, it’s definitely the latter. And before you say “not so fast, my friend!”, just hear me out. After all, I’m the one hunkered down with the Tommy Gun! (see how I worked in that picture) I’ve heard mixed reviews from guys who have tested the SCAR– from the feel of the butt stock to the problematic reciprocating bolt. In the civilian market, FN has been slower than molasses bringing these rifles to market. Not as bad as HK bringing a civilian 416 to the shelves, but you get the picture. As you know, Magpul has been one of the most forward thinking companies in the firearms industry in recent years. The Masada was pure genius and sparked the imagination of shooters across the globe when it debuted at Shot Show several years ago. Then, Bushmaster bought the gun and renamed it the ACR. It was notably absent during last year’s Shot Show in Orlando, but we expect a huge showing later this month in Las Vegas. Now, Remington is extremely well positioned in both the civilian and military marketplace with its new Military Products Division (MPD) and recent acquisition of the best silencer manufacturer on the planet: Advanced Armament Corp. To celebrate this achievement, they’re releasing a new music compilation “Now, That’s What I Call Synergy: Volume I.” Seriously, with economies of scale at play, there’s nothing to hold back Remington. They’ve got the infrastructure to mass produce the ACR and give Advanced Armament the tools they need to grow exponentially. With the ACR and the robust product line of AAC, Remmy is in the perfect position to service the growing needs of the military and law enforcement communities as well as appease the civilian sector with high quality gear at competitive price points. It’s going to be an exciting year, my friends! Stay tuned for more updates. We’ll be adding pricing and ETAs on the ACR as soon as we get more intel during Shot Show. And to get your blood pumping, here’s a new video that just leaked on YouTube– supposedly the promo video that Remington is going to use at Shot Show later this month: [ click here for Remington ACR video ]
