Good video as always. Is the audio out of sync or just on my computer?

I just watched it again on YouTube and the sync seems ok to me. How far out of sync is it for you?

Video and sound match, so it must be your computer.

It's not bad, I just noticed your mouth doesn't quite match the audio. Probably just my internet connection acting up. Anyway, great review.

I'll tell you what, I normally won't watch a 20 minute review, but I watched the whole thing. Good video.

Good video.

My only thoughts, if bushmaster is a suspect maker of quality ARs, how can they be trusted to make a good rifle with the ACR?

The sad part is that FN was the pioneer in making solid sidefolding stock.

ACR is way heavier.

Great review. Shame about your Jeep getting scratched.

I have not tried the ACR, but have put about 300 rounds through my Scar 16. I like it very much for the same reasons you described. And I don't care for the flimsy stock either. My main gripe is the trigger, or the lack of after-market replacement triggers. Hopefully that situation will improve in the near future.

However, I am completely ambivalent about the reciprocating bolt. Have you tried to move the bolt to the other side of the rifle? I have seen quite a few negative comments about the reciprocating bolt of the SCAR, but there have been very few similar comments about the AK platform, if any at all. Thoughts as to why?

By the way, very nice review. And I had no desire to try the ACR before I saw the video....

Many Weapons have a moving handle, I think it's just something for people to ***** about on the scar. Lesson: don't magwell grip.
