What does /k/ think of the ARX-160/100? On paper, a lot of it

Sad trash. Thing is clunky as all hell. It's picky on mags and uses its own proprietary parts. No large aftermarket either.

The trigger sucks, but I think someone is making an aftermarket trigger. The top rail wobbles a bit and the provided sights are just atrocious. No comb adjustment is kind of annoying. But hey, it's the only fucking "quick barrel change" rifle that ACTUALLY has plans to bring out barrels for different cartridges, even if that is just .300 BLK.

Oh yea, A2 grip fuckiness. That's annoying, too.

What stupid shit do you think this even means?

>>34310201
>actually has plans to

Lol

>>34310219
Has that changed? Last I checked they were accepting preorders. Oh well.

>>34310203
Last time I checked, there weren't too many parts available, meaning if gun broke it'd have to be sent to manufacture. "Proprietary pats." This is from memory though. I've gots the Alzheimer's real bad of late.

Happens with anything that isn't an AR-15. Just ring Beretta USA and they'll ship you whatever. No need to send it anywhere.

My friend has the ARX-100, I think it's pretty great. Shoots very accurate. We tried a lot of normal STANAG mags and they all worked perfectly. Plastic shit mags might be problematic but only fags buy these.

The iron sights are ok but you can just put any sight or scope on.

It's a decent little rifle for the price they can be had for now. I paid $1100 but you can get one for ~900 now. As an SBR it is extremely handy. The trigger is no geissele, but perfectly acceptable for duty. All the polymer takes a little time to smooth out, so the buttons and trigger do get better.

It's not garbage, but it is worse than the competition. Similar to the ruger american pistols, its biggest sin is being boring and bringing nothing new or substantial to the table.

What? Who does that? They'll sell you parts, you don't have to send it back to them for repair.

How is the top rail? Did you pin it?

>>34310364
The top rail is fixed in place and won't move around. It's pretty long so you can put what you want anywhere.

There's also one bottom rail and 2 side rails. The side rails are a bit short but long enough for a flashlight or whatever.

>>34310364
I think that was only on the first few shipments. Mine came with a roll pin already installed at the rear of the rail. It's definitely solid.

>>34310183
I have one in my shop and it feels like garbage. Plus the sights are shit and polymer and the bolt handle is literally a stick thin piece of metal.

A problem, because? Let me guess, you think M16A2/M4 profile barrels are good.

>I imagine the front handguard can't be too comfy.

It's not. Unlike the FS2000, which looks awkward but is actually quite comfortable to shoot, the ARX just handles weirdly if you're used to more conventional, thinner rifles. The stock sights were kind of shitty on the one I shot, but that was also a range rental that had seen plenty of rounds through it so maybe some jackasses fucked them up. I will compliment its accuracy though. Once you get used to the awkward handguard, it's a tack driver in the right hands with decent ammo.

Beretta doesn't think 4-5 MOA groups are a problem, I think you got lucky.

It's way too thicc
