Robinson Arms XCR 300 Round Test

I was testing out my Robinson Arms XCR 7.62x39 on gas settings 3 and 4 to see if my malfunctions would be reduced. I usually shoot on gas setting number 2.


No such luck.

I shot a total of 300 rounds over a period of 2 hours and had a total of 30 malfunctions.

I had the XCR set on gas setting 4 about 1/3 of the time. I couldn't shoot it at that level too long because the trigger slap was extremely painful. Also, it really didn't matter what gas setting it was set too, I would still get the same malfunctions.



That means I can shoot an average of 10 rounds before I hit a malfunction.

That really sucks!!!

My AR15 rifles run like a clock.

afterhaving your weapon fixed would you recomend this system?

[pwenzlik]

@MrRustytrombone yes and no. The problem with the XCR is the company Robinson Arms. They're customer service and quality control is very bad. If there is something wrong with your weapon you are SOL. If you like to tinker with your weapons then the XCR is good for you. Bolts and screws come loose, parts fall off if not tightened down. For a "go to" gun I would not recommend the XCR. For a fun gun to shoot and have just for the hell of it, it's fine. But, have lots of spare parts!

[MrRustytrombone]

@pwenzlik I read on the robarm website that you are supposed to check all of the bolts because they might be loose after 1000 rounds....WTF! I understand it is always good to maintain your firearms but that is not acceptable. Are they selling a weapon in prototype phase? I mean this system looks like it has unlimited potential. even a jackass like me can understand the importance of having a PINNED gas block. or a torqued nut on a barrel instead of a screw you have to have to check......

[pwenzlik]

@MrRustytrombone Exactly. Bolts and screws are always working their way loose on the XCR. I have to carry a tool kit and check the rifle constantly to make sure everything is secure when I use the rifle over a large amount of ammo expended. I was in a course a couple of weeks ago and had to replace my hammer spring. The third one! Lot of people have suggested they switch to a pinned gas block and pin stuff in general but they keep to screws and bolts.

thanks for posting the video. did you figure out what was causing all the malfunctions?

[pwenzlik]

@johnpatrick818 Yah, it was an out of spec barrel gas port. Sent it back and now it works fine.

Mental Masturbation: Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.

[tonzofgunzXD]

Wow really? I would of thrown that thing at the target after all of that lol. I'm glad it's fixed but I'm sure it was very frustrating when it was happening.

@kuglebugle I think thats the point, he is trying to drive across how annoying it was to have to keep dealing with malfunctions..

[delzottoj]
