Robinson Armament XCR-L

An entirely modern design, the XCR was built to compete in the recent SCAR trials, the US special operations community’s quest to find a replacement for the M4.  It is a truly unique design, possessing a quick-change barrel, an adjustable gas piston system, left hand charging handle with integrated bolt forward assist, military spec 1913 rail flattop, ambidextrous bolt release forward of the trigger guard, and folding stock.  Internally, it has a bolt reminiscent of the AK-47 with enormous lugs and extractor.  Another notable feature is quick cartridge caliber interchangeability.  While it comes standard with a 5.56 x 45 NATO barrel, bolt, and magazine, kits are already available for 6.8 SPC, 6.5 Grendel, and 7.62 x 39 Soviet.  This particular copy is chambered for 5.56 x 45 mm NATO (.223 Remington) and has a 16 inch light barrel.  The grip is a Tango Down aftermarket item, and front and rear flip sights are Yankee Hill Machine that have not yet been properly zeroed.  Magazines are standard 30-round AR-15 type.
