Robinson Armament XCR Rifles - Field Strip

Published on September 18, 2019
Duration: 6:10

This guide details the field stripping process for the Robinson Armament XCR series rifles, including the XCR Micro in .308. It covers separating the upper and lower receivers, removing the stock, barrel, gas system piston, bolt carrier group, firing pin, and buffer. The process is noted for its speed and simplicity, with comparisons drawn to the AR-15 and AK-47 platforms.

Quick Summary

The Robinson Armament XCR series rifles are designed for rapid field stripping. Disassembly involves separating the upper and lower receivers via a push pin, removing the stock with an Allen key, and then loosening a front handguard bolt to pull the barrel. The gas system piston and bolt carrier group can then be accessed for cleaning and maintenance.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do you separate the upper and lower receivers on a Robinson Armament XCR?

To separate the upper and lower receivers on a Robinson Armament XCR, engage the specific mechanism, often a pin, that allows for their separation. The pin is typically retained to the lower receiver once detached.

What is the process for removing the barrel from an XCR rifle?

Barrel removal on the XCR involves loosening an Allen key bolt located in the front of the handguard. This bolt acts as the barrel retention system, and once loosened, the barrel can be pulled straight out.

How is the gas system on the XCR series maintained?

The XCR gas system can be maintained by threading off a component (often tight) to access and remove an internal piston. This piston is described as similar to a G36 piston and is crucial for the rifle's operation.

What makes the XCR's bolt carrier group design notable?

The XCR's bolt carrier group design is noted for its resemblance to an AK-47 system but is distinct. It features lugs that the gas piston fits into, and it's recommended to have the bolt fully forward during reassembly for proper cycling.
