    I'm picking mine up tomorrow - a bit of a challenge to find in California. I got the rifle with 20" bbl and green furniture. Does anyone have one and if so, how do you like it? Any tips on what ammo works well, peculiarities of the rifle?

    Aside from Robinson, I'm not seeing a whole lot by way of aftermarket items. Any sites or aftermarket stuff?

    This is a very fine rifle, that is somewhat a copy of the Stoner 63. It is well ahead of its time, and is almost totally modular, as it can be changed from rifle to carbine configuration by a quick barrel change. They are price, but then again, so is anything that is good.

    good luck getting other accessories for it.

    Robinson said that the top feed would be out in 6 mos, took 3 years.

    Then discontinued in anticipation of the XCR, which they thought would win the SCAR rifle trials....yeah, right.

    It is an unsupported orphan.

    Like the Bushmaster M17
