I did not get paid from Robinson for this video. I did receive some good pricing on two spare gas tubes and got some techinical questions answered prior to doing the tests. I could have edited the video to make it "look" better but wanted to give the good and the bad. If no one learns anything else but to make sure to latch the take down, I'll be happy. Easy to check and easy to fix.

I would be so scared to shoot that in the mud on that after what just happend in the sand test.

[Martens813]

Keep in mind the issue with the sand test was my fault and not a result of the design of the gun. I mixed and matched lowers and did not ensure that the retention pin fully seated in the lower. After the problem was found and the pin correctly seated, the receiveres did not seperate. Since this test, all of my uppers and lowers swap with no problems. Correctly seating the takedown pin is covered in the manual and I did not do my part as the user. The XCR is built like a tank and I trust it.

Sgt., I have one question.

Did you get paid by Robinson Arms or any other organization for making this film?

Thank you for taking the time to think about my question and responding.

LWRC all the way, war ready gun

[krossF]

these are all conditions a quality AR would survive with no issue. Idk why you guys are looking for a piston gun that simulates an AR, if you want AK reliability then get an AK. AR covers most other bases and has been made very reliable over time, it wouldnt be used if it wasn't.

Props for the honest review, most guys would bury the video and tell everyone their 1000$+ rifle is the best in the world

After watching this it makes me not want to get this rifle but I know as a shooter and doing what you do that I wont be in these conditions for the rifle to fail as it is in your video.

great video , nice to see how honest you are. very reliable rifle, don't think you'll ever get that much gunk in it as a police officer.

OK, Lets seeee what happens.

[letterpool]

fucking hell this is $2400 in canada. I wouldn't be throwing this thing in anything but a velvet case =)

Wow, epic Fail. "ok, let's see what happens...click" yer dead. I own an XCR and that vid makes me want to sell it. It did make me appreciate the hell out of my Galil however. The Alaska State Patrol torture test was more severe than this and the Galil passed with "0" malfunctions.
