OverKiller93 Posted April 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Hmm, ok... we're aware that the Robinson XCR does in fact exist... Are you saying there will be an airsoft kit or replica? My bad Just edited. It looks to be a kit coming out in the near future by Madbull. Link to post Share on other sites
uscmCorps Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 I like the look of the XCR. It's like the blasphemous child from a three way gang-bang between a SCAR, an Armalite and a FAL. Link to post Share on other sites
The Crunchy Bunny Posted April 16, 2008 Report Share Posted April 16, 2008 Oh, DD liecensed trademarks. I hope that means cheap replica's of there rail systems. Link to post Share on other sites
Glenn Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Nobody seems to want the real thing...who is going to want this? Not me, I'll take an Ultimax, or SPR SCAR, or a Massoud. Link to post Share on other sites
darryl zero Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 The news article says simply that Madbull has aquired the license for Robinson Arms trademarks. While it is a good guess that this means an XCR kit will be made, there is no solid news regarding the actual development of such a kit. Link to post Share on other sites
davedawg123 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 I like the look of the XCR. It's like the blasphemous child from a three way gang-bang between a SCAR, an Armalite and a FAL. lol. Exactly what I was thinking. Nobody seems to want the real thing...who is going to want this? Not me, I'll take an Ultimax, or SPR SCAR, or a Massoud. Couldn't agree with you more about the the Massoud. It is such a sexy beast. I'm surprised it doesn't get mentioned more often. Love that stock. Link to post Share on other sites
Frakk2k Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 W00t, I had a thread going on this a good couple of months ago, I also sent robinson a email, regarding an Airsoft version, the response was then: "The Airsoft makers have not approached us yet. Sincerely, Alex Robinson Manager Robinson Armament Co." I guess they have now Picture very related: Link to post Share on other sites
Maple-Leaf Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Nobody seems to want the real thing...who is going to want this? Not me, I'll take an Ultimax, or SPR SCAR, or a Massoud. I agree with you about the Ultimax - ME WANT ULTIMAX NOW!!!! But have to disagree about the SCAR - the XCR should have won that contract... "Massoud"??? Do you mean the MagPull/Bushmaster Masada/ACR? If so, totally agree! I liked the XCR when it first came out, but it looks a bit like yesterday's news now. I'd rather see an M96 Expedition Rifle from RA. Link to post Share on other sites
screamin_weasel Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 so hang on - everybody constantly moans about the repetition of airsoft models, m4 after m4, AK after Ak, just with different furniture. then theres news that madbull might actually make something individual and different enough to warrant it not being called an M4, and everybody bitches that they want something else instead ?

Silas5150 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Just out of curiosity, what is King Arms' link to Madbull? I know King arms has a DD metal body out (I have one of them...with a very low serial number), and I thought that it was officially licensed. I only ask because I was looking around on the ISGK website when I noticed this: http://www.isgk.org/distributors.php . At the bottom of the page, it says "For King Arms" which leads me to believe that they have access to this licensing deal as well. Anyone know what's going on? Link to post Share on other sites
davedawg123 Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 "Massoud"??? Do you mean the MagPull/Bushmaster Masada/ACR? If so, totally agree! Yeah, its a .308 version of the Masada. Looks meaner. Link to post Share on other sites
pjones Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Nobody seems to want the real thing...who is going to want this? Not me, I'll take an Ultimax, or SPR SCAR, or a Massoud. The reason for that is that Alex Robinson donated money to Mitt Romney, then posted a defense of Romney's anti-2nd Amendment record on his website. Gun owners don't forget.

friendlybombers Posted April 17, 2008 Report Share Posted April 17, 2008 Nice rifle Frakk2k! It's going to be interesting to see what comes out in the next year or so. Link to post Share on other sites
p0wnd Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Sorry to say this but the XCR takes all the ugly parts of each gun and puts them together; and makes something good looking out of it. Link to post Share on other sites

Frakk2k Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Actually, if you check out their webpage, the gun is totally modular when you are buying one, can choose from all sorts of stocks. That metal folding one looks a bit rough, I bet you will feel the kick in it It can also chamber the AK rounds ammirite? Link to post Share on other sites

Fair comment Weasel. But you know airsofters - we're never satisfied. But seriously, it is nice to see something different - but I think its also a fair comment that the XCR is a bit of an odd choice. I suspect that it was a decision driven primarily by RA hoping to use this as a means of re-couping some the costs of developing the real-steel rifle. Nonetheless, I'd have much rather seen an airsoft version of the Stoner-look-alike M96 Expedition Rifle. Link to post Share on other sites
Maple-Leaf Posted April 18, 2008 Report Share Posted April 18, 2008 Correction: its the M96 Recon Carbine that I like - and the Bren Gun style topfeeder is pretty cool too - Link to post Share on other sites
akkingdave Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 i might just have to get this when it comes out Link to post Share on other sites
Gigueand Posted April 19, 2008 Report Share Posted April 19, 2008 Hmm, I might have to clone this when it comes out... Oh wait... Seriously though, it'll be a neat kit if/when it comes out. To bad the XCR wasn't that popular for a variety of reasons. Although I suppose that doesn't stop airsofters from picking up guns that are never used in the real world... bless this sport.

Johnny Sasaki Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I took a look at this gun at world.guns.ru a long time ago, and I really like the top-loading configuration. If there's a kit like that, I'd totally buy it. Otherwise it just seems like an AR-15/AR-18 hybrid to me... Link to post Share on other sites
halcon_del_sur Posted July 6, 2010 Report Share Posted July 6, 2010 Well, I'm not really adding news on this, but rather I'd like to know if anybody has any clue about what happened to this development from SOCOMGEAR. Cheers. Link to post Share on other sites
