Remington/Bushmaster ACR Debuts in Black Livery
What may be the very first production, civilian Bushmaster Adaptive Combat Rifle (ACR) was presented to Florida shooter J. James, who was the winner of an Advanced Armament Corp. (AAC) silent auction for the rifle (with AAC silencer). AAC was recently acquired by Remington Arms Co. as a Cerberus Freedom group company, along with Bushmaster. That’s how AAC got its hands on the first civilian ACR. The upper receiver is stamped S/N GR00100 and “MODEL – BACR”. Interestingly, the rifle is also stamped “CALIBER – MULTI”. Everybody has been clamoring for photos of the actual production version of the ACR. Well, here they are.
James had the weapon professionally photographed, and posted the images on Photobucket.com and AR15.com.

The new ACR features a 16″ barrel with m4 profile. A 4th Generation rail system offers removable Picatinny rails. James’ gun came with two (2) stocks, both the new-style, spring-lock folder and the fixed stock. The charging handle is ambi-dextrous and can be flipped left or right, as well as up and down. James reports that the ACR exhibits good fit and function. He says the trigger is “100% better than the SCAR” and is very crisp.

its a nice rifle, wish it chambered in 6.8SPC, with a SPC II 4 grooves 1:11″ rifling twist 16 inch cold hammer forged barrel and also with 6.5 grendel in 16 inch 1:8.5 rifling twist cold hammer forged barrel its time stop the 5.56mm
for the 6.5 grendel, i mean the rifling twist is 1:8.5 Its time to disregard the 5.56mm
I take it that this is the “Masada” rifle from a few years ago, which IMO was a great design . Hopefully these will be available for civilian market . Interesting trigger group; is Bushmaster contracting this out or is this an in-house design ? Good job on winning this !!! And many thanks to the companies supporting the auction.
