RA/XCR, now shipping in 7.62X39

Robinson Arms, appealing to cost-conscious consumers who are looking for way to keep shooting without breaking the bank, are currently shipping their wonderful XCR rifle, now chambered in 30-Soviet (7.62X39)

The rifle comes with one magazine, manufactured by C-Products. Additional magazines are available at $25.00/copy. This iteration of the XCR features a chrome-plated barrel, and is available as a complete unit, or in kit-form, for those who already own an XCR but want the additional capability.

As with all versions of the XCR, this one has no issue with steel-cased ammunition.

Alex Robinson tells me the 6.8mm version of his XCR has done well also, but current ammunition cost inflation has generated strident interest in calibers where cheap sources of ammunition are still available.

The most wonderful rifle in the world is worth little when you can't afford to shoot it!

It is anyone's guess how much longer cheap ammunition will be available in 7.62X39, or 5.45X39 for that matter. In fact, banking on the latter, S&W is currently introducing a 5.45X39 version of their excellent M&P Carbine. I hope they're right!

In order to maintain, and advance, critical weapon skills, we have to get rounds downrange on a regular basis, but high ammunition prices have made regular shooting sessions fewer and further between for many.

True Operators will find a way! By contrast, losers will, as always, spend their time seeking a presumptive excuse to lose.
