I really like the particle effect with the mud, water, and ice in the video.
As I was posting this article I realized that similar footage was released in the Leaked Remington ACR Promo Video that came out right before the last shot show. The rifle in that is FDE ( Flat Dark Earth ) colored though, and this one is black.
I forget, is FDE the “new” black? Or is it multicam that all the high-speeds are now rocking?
Bushmaster has a shiny new YouTube channel dedicated to the ACR – HERE
You can subscribe to them for updates, and while you’re at it subscribe to my YouTube channel too!
If you want to waste 36 minutes of your life watch the following youtube video on the new gun ordinance:

If you have better things to do, just take a quick browse through the city of Chicago’s press releases page HERE to get the summary of all crap people will have to put up with.
Ugh I almost fell asleep writing this post… I need to find something funny to post now to wake me up.
Check out the videos for the field strip and overview:

A search of gunbroker results in 3 auctions where. All of which are currently under $3000.
I even watched one end earlier today for $2800 (HERE)
The big question on my mind is, now that the Bushmaster ACR seems to be readily available… what is going to happen with Jesse James’ rifle?
He is the guy that won the first ACR in a silent auction (Details Here) then proceeded to put it up on gunbroker with a starting bid of $8500… only to have it bid up to its current price of $16000. There are 2 days and 21 hours left in his 14 day auction, and the reserve still isn’t met.
Oh what a difference 2 weeks can make. All I can say is that I hope he had some sort contract with that wealthy private collector, because otherwise he really shit the bed on this one. I guess if worse comes to worse he can always just keep the rifle and his unfortunate lesson in economics.
I think Jesse follows the blog, because he commented on the last post. Hopefully he can chime in and let us know what the deal is.

He looks happy in that picture, but not as happy as I bet he is now.
Oh if only I would have followed his 3 steps to success:
1) Attend AAC Silencer Shoot
2) Place bid on Bushmaster ACR silent auction
3) Win and PROFIT
Pretty sweet profit so far considering Bushmaster’s MSRP is $3061
No telling what the bid will be up to closer to the auction end date of May 30.
I don’t know how much he actually paid for the ACR in the silent auction, but the post on Advanced Armament’s Blog states that $7500 was raised during the auction. Considering the Bushmaster ACR was not the only product in the silent auction, I think its safe to say that at the current bid, Jesse is already more than doubling his money. On top of that, the auction doesn’t even include the sweet AimPoint CompM4 and Suppressor that came on his ACR!!!!
According to the details in the auction:
As part of an agreement with a large private collector, I am offering this rifle to the General Public before it is stored in a large walk-in safe forever. This rifle is being offered to the General Public for a ONE TIME ONLY event, once this auction has ended the rifle will be either turned over to the Winning Bidder, or it will go to the private collector. The reserve is set at the private collector’s firm offer. If the reserve is beat, the rifle will go to the winning bidder.
Anyone feeling generous? Email me if you want my FFL info :P
