The Robinson Arms XCR-L, the Mormons made their own SCAR

The XCR-L is a very interesting rifle. This rifle was disqualified from the SCAR program on a technicality due to the fact that they forgot to include a blank firing adapter for their rifle. Had things been different I believe this rifle could have won that competition and been in heavy use by Special Operations Forces throughout the Global War on Terror. However that did not happen and we have this slick little rifle. Hope you enjoy the review.

@Hulk Hogan Never forget the four Canadian soldiers were killed and eight others injured when U.S. Air National Guard Major Harry Schmidt dropped a laser-guided 500 lb (230 kg) bomb from his F-16 jet fighter on 18 April 2002. Never forget Army Ranger Specialist Pat Tillman, a former professional American football player, was shot and killed by American fire on 22 April 2004. Never forget Private Mark Anthony Graham, and 30 other Canadian soldiers who were wounded, 5 seriously. By US A-10 strafes. Never forget when a A U.S. Patriot missile shot down a British Panavia Tornado GR.4A of No. 13 Squadron RAF, killing the pilot and navigator. Never forget when a pair of American A-10s from the 190th attacked four British armoured reconnaissance vehicles of the Blues and Royals, killing L/CoH. Matty Hull and injuring five others. Never forget when an American soldier Mario Lozano killed an Italian intelligence officer Nicola Calipari and is suspected of wounding Italian journalist Giuliana Sgrena in Baghdad. Sgrena was rescued from a kidnapping by Calipari, and it was claimed that the car they were escaping in failed to stop at an American checkpoint, whereupon U.S. soldiers opened fire. Video evidence shows the car was respecting speed limits and proceeding with its headlights on. Never forget when an American airstrike killed eight Kurdish Iraqi soldiers. Kurdish officials advised U.S. helicopters hit the men who were guarding a branch of the Patriotic Union of Kurdistan (PUK) in Mosul. Never forget when a US Apache AH-64 identified two journalists as Iraqi insurgents, and shoots at a van which had children in it, on July 12, 2007. Never forget when during the Battle of Khafji, 11 American Marines were killed in two major incidents when their light armored vehicles (LAV's) were hit by missiles fired by a USAF A-10. Never forget when two soldiers of the U.S. Army were killed and a further six wounded when an American Boeing AH-64 Apache attack helicopter fired upon and destroyed a U.S. Army Bradley Fighting Vehicle and an M113 Armoured Personnel Carrier. Never forget while supporting Operation Market Time, USCGC Point Welcome was attacked by USAF aircraft, resulting in the deaths of two Coast Guardsmen. Never forget 16-17 June 1968, HMAS Hobart, USS Boston and USS Edson were attacked by US aircraft. At 03:09, Hobart's radar picked up an aircraft approaching with no IFF transponder active. At 03:14, the aircraft fired a single missile at the ship which killed one sailor, wounded two others and damaged the ship. Two minutes later, the aircraft made a second pass and fired two missiles which caused further damage, killed another sailor and wounded six others. The aircraft came around for a third attack run, but was scared off when Hobart's forward gun turret, under independent control, fired five rounds at it. At 03:30, USS Edson, in company with Hobart, reported coming under fire, and Hobart's captain ordered both destroyers and USS Theodore E. Chandler to take up anti-aircraft formation. At 05:15, the three destroyers linked up with the cruiser USS Boston (which had been hit by a missile from another aircraft) and the escorting destroyer USS Blandy, and continued anti-aircraft manoeuvring. Debris collected from Hobart and the other ships indicated that the missiles were of United States Air Force (USAF) origin. The attacks on Hobart and the other ships were the capstone of a series of firing incidents between 15 and 17 June, and an inquiry was held by the USN into the incidents, with three RAN personnel attending as technical advisors. The inquiry found that a few hours before the attack on Hobart, Swift boats PCF-12 and PCF-19, along with USCGC Point Dume, were attacked by what they identified at the time as hovering enemy aircraft, but were believed to be friendly planes; PCF-19 was sunk in the attack. F-4 Phantoms of the USAF Seventh Air Force, responding several hours after the attack on the Swift boats, were unable to distinguish between the radar signature of surface ships and airborne helicopters, and instead opened fire on Hobart, Boston, and Edson. Never forget the Battle of Norfolk where a large number of friendly fire incidents took place resulting in 5 American casualties. Never forget 23 August 2007: A USAF F-15 called in to support British ground forces in Afghanistan dropped a bomb on those forces. Three privates of the 1st Battalion, the Royal Anglian Regiment, were killed and two others were severely injured. Never forget five United States Special forces operatives, and an Afghan Army counterpart were killed by friendly fire in Southern Zabul Province on June 9, 2014. Whilst on patrol, and coming under heavy Taliban fire, an air-strike was called in and a B-1 Lancer bomber misdirected its payload killing the six military personnel amongst others. Never forget SPC Donald Oaks, SGT Todd Robbins, and SFC Randall Rehn of D Battery, 1st Battalion, 39th Field Artillery Regiment (MLRS, M270 A1), 3rd Infantry Division Artillery (Previously C Battery 3-13 FA ), were killed when a US fighter jet mistook the rocket artillery from US MLRS as enemy targets on 3 April 2003 while 3rd ID DIVARTY conducted a counter fire battle with Iraqi positions along the Euphrates River. The ordnance struck the vehicles of the soldiers killing SFC Rehn instantly, while SGT Robbins and SPC Oak died shortly after from their wounds. 5 other soldiers were WIA from the event. Never forget when a U.S. Patriot missile batteries fired two missiles on a U.S. Navy F/A-18C Hornet 50 mi (80 km) from Karbala, Iraq. One missile hit the aircraft of pilot Lieutenant Nathan Dennis White of VFA-195, Carrier Air Wing Five, killing him. This was the result of the missile design flaw in identifying hostile aircraft. Would you like me to continue? USS liberty incident was like all of these, a friendly fire incident. Such things happen in every war and its unfortunate. However unlike you Americans we actually care. We payed millions in compensation to the families of those who were lost in USS liberty. How about next time, don't send a spy boat to the shores of an enemy country during an active war. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

@@PhilWitDa_45 AK's have been illegal here for decades, but we all still have our AR's & such that got prohibited in May of 2020 as a knee-jerk reaction to a mass shooting (where the psycho did it with illegally-owned guns & arson combined, all while dressed as a cop driving a fake marked cop car with replicated decals). The killer had no gun license, had a Mini-14 he got from a friend's estate, the rest of his guns were smuggled from the USA. Licensed owners still have all of our now-prohibited guns, we just can't take them anywhere or use them lawfully. For me that's 3 AR's, a stripped AR lower & a Sig MPX. The current gov't will likely be replaced by the time they figure out confiscation as even many of their own supporters are getting sick of them. LE agencies & many provincial gov'ts have said there will be no help from them as budgets are already tight & policing budgets are provincial jurisdiction. Undoing the dumb bans will be easy as they used an administrative process to bring them in, not votes in Parliament, so they can be undone just as easily.

[@whomagoose6897]

Owned an XCR-L since 2006. One of the unknown things about all models of XCR-L and XCR-M is the charging handle is also a "forward assist" that goes forwards and backwards. Notice the charging knob can be pushed in. There's a spring on the knob. The shaft on the charging handle goes into a machined hole on the left side of the bolt carrier group. This helps if you extract a stuck cartridge. I just hold the foregrip just ahead of the mag well with my right hand. Press in the charging handle with the left hand. Find a patch of grass on dirt and mortar the rifle to extract the stuck cartridge. This was one of the design characteristics that Alex Robinson made in all of the XCR series of rifles. For those that have an XCR-L or XCR-M try the charging handle "forward assist." One of the great, but, little known things about the XCR rifle.

I actually met the owners at gun show two years back near Salt Lake City. I was like whoaaa this looks like an ACR and he angrily explained how they were battling for the rights to the contract cuz he came up with it first and patented it. Then he avidly explained the whole gun and I definitely plan get one eventually. Easy system to learn and swap out.

This is the first review I've noted that did not include your standard GT relationship disclosure. Maybe that was missed in the edit, but it stood out to me especially in light of a really positive review. I always have appreciated the effort this channel has put into always disclosing any potential conflicts and hope that does not go away.

[@Theman3806]

I think it's somewhat implied based on his claim that the extractor was not secured properly and they took care of the issue. but yeah it's weird he didn't mentioned it this time like he normally does.

I own the XCR-L in 5.56 and also ordered the 7.62 and 300 Blackout conversion kits (took about 7 months to get them). Super simple to change between calibers and a nice option to have a single rifle with multiple caliber capability. As GT noted the ergonomics are great. Really nice rifle.

[@PHIllip324]

A lot of the "AR alternative" rifles from the 2000's are wildly under-rated. I'm glad to learn that small technicalities and logistical things were the only things holding it back and not the actual performance or reliability of it.

[@JoshuaDomoslai]

I’ve had my XCR-L for roughly 9 years. It still is up to par with what’s popular today. Easy to adjust the gas block to your ammo type if you run a standard length upper. Gas block get HOT so you may need a glove depending on your grip type. Company is good to work with and replacement parts are always readily avail online. So even tho they aren’t a huge well known company, they’ve been around and always there to help customers.

[@rurouniad]

Own both XCR-L and Scar 16. Mr Robinson has gone back and forth on his product support of the gun and it has gone through many revisions. Both guns are good and have a niche. It’s a good “what if” thought experiment.

[@PantherCat64]

I forgot about this rifle, and had no idea it was made in Utah, the last time I heard of it was it being used as a reference for CMMG's commission to design a believable futuristic rifle for Bohemia Interactive's new game. Yup, there's were the charging handle design came from, on top of overall look along side the ACR.

I had one in 16” OD green. Heavy, but loved the controls and the recoil was like shooting spicy .22. Unfortunately let it go to buy a motorcycle haha.

[@Seth9809]

The 7.62x51mm was in a large, scientific trial done by Karl from Inrange and Primary and Secondary. The result of that was that the XCR in 7.62x51mm was the winner of several categories and generally was the favorite.

[@Bizbinski]

Would love to see a review on the XCR-M as well! Great video!

[@sirchewtrain]

Great rifles. My friend has a scar and he actually likes the xcr more. He has one now too.

[@azairman]

Having shot both, I think the XCR is better all around than the SCAR
