[QUOTE="Glocktogo, post: 971066, member: 1132"] I'll bet your 7.9# J.P. rifle has an 18" tube too. I was referring to the ACR's total weight of 8.2 pounds. That's the quoted weight for a 16.5" version w/o sling or attachments. As for the chrome lining bit, this is touted as a "combat" rifle. The barrel longevity isn't nearly as important as the ability to coninue functioning when dirty and poorly maintained in a combat environment. There's a reason that the mil-spec std. calls for chrome lining. This may be less of an issue witha piston driven gun than a D.I. gun. But chrome lining adds a step and cost to a barrel. To expect people to pay nearly 3K for a "combat" rifle and not bother to chrome line the barrel is pretty unforgivable. But hey, this is Bushmaster we're talking about. :) [/QUOTE]
