Remington's new AR-15

[LA_357SIG]

Anyone have any info? Is it something "new" or is it another Bushmaster with a Remington engraved lower?

Thanks.

First I've heard of this.

While the guns are marked as Remingtons made in Ilion, New York, and many of their parts are proprietary, they are all compatible with the neat goodies that can be hung on black rifles: triggers, grips, rails, you name it.

Big... huge negative point right there.

Very true... but it's existence solidifies the sporting purpose of ARs (to the astonishment of Jim Zumbo).

Yeah, thanks for the link. Glad I didn't have any high expectations for it.

Not a big fan of real tree camo. Especially on an AR.

Cerberus just wants to cash in on the Remington name by applying it to the AR market... Remington needs to stick to what they're good at: bolt action rifles and shotguns. Proprietary parts on an AR-15 is just not cool... What else am I supposed to do with an AR besides switch out a random stock internal part for a custom one, and then test fire it, rinse and repeat with a different part?

Now is that an "assualt rifle" or a "sporting rifle". The anti gunners might have a hard time justifying this one, lol.

It's an Assault Sport Rifle, for the brutal murdering of innocent wildlife.

I wonder if the R&D boys at Remington researched that the stock AR pistol grip sucks and they should develop a better one like Ergo-grip and not just camo a.....Oh, I see. Nevermind.
