Milsurps / Prohib Robinson Armament XCR Appreciation Post
Howdy Folks
The Texan is back with yet another Gun Appreciation Post, this time with a Prohibited Item now, was once popular in the Canadian gun market funny enough.
The one and only!
Robinson Armament XCR.
It’s a cool rifle for what it is, and honestly it should have been adopted in my opinion because it was made from the ground up, and is a reliable weapon platform.
Anyways enjoy

Robinson Arms also tried to fight for us when the 2020 bans happened they wanted pictures of the rifles in use to prove that it's primary use was sporting/ hunting. Wish I had bought one

Robinson Armament is a great company with active community engagement, more of the gun industry should definitely do that in my opinion

That is true, I mean they’re one of the first to embrace Girl’s Frontline

I have a feeling that Heckler & Koch also is aware of the GFL and GFL2 community. When Mechty was announced, the exact same day they put a random picture of a G11, and then the comments began flooding with that character.

because it was made from the ground up
No, it really wasn't.
The XCR is literally just a (somewhat-modernized) Stoner 63 in rifle configuration, except with an AK bolt, and made of aluminum instead of stamped steel.
Kind of obvious when you consider what Robinson Armament's previous products were (semi-auto Stoner 63 clones and imported AKs), but Guntube is a little too simple to realize that so they keep claiming it's some weird AK/AR-15 mashup instead. (Not that that isn't partially true of the 63 itself.)

Can you do a HK-G11 with references to why it was banned.
