The affordable version of the Echo1 XCR can be ordered now at Action Hobbies for £219.98... "This is an affordable XCR, high quality plastic construction and comes with two 120rd capacity magazines, front grip, battery, and a charger. The Robinson Armament XCR-C is a multi-caliber, gas piston weapon system developed by Robinson Armament Co. for U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM) Manufactured by VFC ensures very high end quality and performance. Seen by many as a direct competitor to the FN SCAR and even the Magpul Masada, the XCR is indeed a modern generation tactical carbine with its full length RIS receiver.

The main difference to the all metal version of the XCR is the plastic version has a normal Version 2 gear box not a split type, while the main body is made from polymer, the gun is still rigid with various metal parts.

Ambidextrous bolt release is just in front and beneath the trigger guard and the charging handle is on the left but the bolt opens on the right.

Please note the gun comes fitted with an orange flash hider, a black flash hider is supplied in the box and can be swapped over, removal is clockwise and requires a little effort as the plastic version is thread locked, we found that dipping the tip in boiling water allowed it to be removed easy."
