Description
Robinson Armament XCR-L Standard, 12” barrel, Black
The Robinson Armament XCR carbine was designed by Alex Robinson in 2004 and marketed in 2006. It was created for the SCAR project at the time but the samples supplied to the US Army were never tested for a trivial reason (the samples of the blank firing plug system had been delivered with a slight delay…).
The weapon was then significantly improved over the next 10 years. BGM is fortunate to now be the importer of the 2017 version of this rifle which incorporates all these modifications.
The XCR has many advantages such as the user-removable barrel, the ambidextrous controls, the adjustable stock, very simple disassembly and maintenance, adjustable gas lock, monolithic construction, compatibility with AR magazines -15 or SR-25 depending on the caliber, a fixed ejector replaceable by the user, etc…
The barrel being easily removable, it is possible to switch from the 223 Rem. to the 300 BLK by simply changing the barrel (the breech and the magazines being common between these 2 calibers).
This rifle has fewer parts than its 2 main piston competitors.
Main Features :
- Semi-automatic rifle with delayed opening by borrowing gases operating with a piston system (with short stroke or long stroke depending on the model)
- As a general rule the pistons of the XCR-L models (223 Rem., 300 BLK) are long stroke and those of the XCR-M (308 Win.) are short stroke.
- CMV (chrome-molybdenum-vanadium) steel barrel, phosphated, and internally hard chromed.
