Seems to be a common occurrence over at Magpul.

>>35152407
Magpul is a worthless company with no talent. When faced with a difficult project they try to pawn it off to a big boy, regardless of their strong capital reserves.

Cerberus Group

its not that they gave up, theyre not really a firearms manufacturer

they didnt have the manufacturing to fully produce firearms and have them actually available to the market in a reasonable number, so they sold the ideas that were actually feasable and made money without having to invest further

i really wish the Magpul PDR had been successful, thought that was neat, but nobody picked it up unfortunately

>>35152494
dont bully magpul
they have some stuff thats okay

>>35152681
No, they are an injection molding company that advertises well.

Tapco is magpul sans advertising capabilities.

>>35152692
I said no bully
the k2 grip is good, their mags are good and m-lok is good

>>35152692
magpul is a lot higher quality that tapco for just slightly more money

>>35152407
What went right is a more appropriate question; the rifle does literally nothing better than other already well established raifus.

>>35154677
No, magpul has a lot more desirable brands.
If I hand you an identical piece of plastic made by magpul and tapco you are not going to be able to tell them apart

>>35154782
>if two companies used the same machines and molds and practices you wouldn't be able to tell the two apart
NO WAY!
Next you'll probably tell me Tapco uses the exact machines as Magpul!

It was pretty modular for its time. Unfortunately, they dragged their feet in production, all the different calibers and parts never came, and when it was first sold, msrp was way too high. This was also right around the time the AR aftermarket was really gaining traction. The acr was a great concept but the execution was its execution.

Expensive
Heavy
Few aftermarket options
Hard to find parts
Not appreciably better than an AR

Probably rather have a XCR if I'm going to get an expensive weirdo 5.56 semi-auto.

So why is the ACR shit again?

If they made this in 300 memeout it might be cool as an SBR.

Made promises to deliver a modular system, failed to deliver any while stringing buyers along and failing to meet any pricing targets. They tried to have Remington and Bushmaster make it and they failed like you would expext.

>>35159191
To be fair lots of gun manufacturers do that.

Magpul promised a shitload to consumers without any idea what manufacturing it would really be like. Because they're not a firearms manufacturer.

Bushmaster did some dumb shit too (conversion kits) but Magpul is to blame for the sticker shock people still haven't gotten over.

magpul is a great company. tapco makes good stuff too, their tools in particular, but magpul is the best.

They screwed the pooch when it came to licensing out the design. S&W and to a lesser extent Ruger would've been a better fit to the basic idea behind the Masada even if it meant they'd probably neuter the hell out of it.

>>35158963
They supposedly make a 1:7 version, but I can't find them for sale online. Does it really matter for the civilian shooter, though? Most people just shoot cheap Wolf ammo.
