Finally got some photos of the Beretta ARX160 on its own.

Very happy with it, I've only had 4-500 rounds through it (and all of those have been minimag) not a single failure of any kind, I haven't cleaned it since I bought it and all I have done is apply some froglube to the mechanism when I first shot it (thanks again Ray!).

I think Umarex (the actual manufacturer) have finally got their act together, though the original HK416s and Colt M4s weren't bad guns, they certainly aren't of the build quality that the ARX160 is (In my humble, new gun to me, opinion I do stress). The umarex mags are also of a good build standard and feel pretty solid for a plastic mag.

I have now gotten used to the stock length and find it comfortable, however, the eye relief for the Walther RS55 scope is quite short, so still find myself leaning in quite a bit, but that's the scope not the gun. It groups well, not sure if I'm sold on the vertical foregrip so I'm borrowing an angled one from a friend to see how that goes, sadly It wont be out again for at least another month.

Don`t the rear & front sight come off to give more scope adjustment

Not really they are basically completely built in. It more an issue with me/the RS55 which is good for what I want, it's a wonderfully sharp x4 optic with fine cross hairs. Certainly something I would avoid for mini rifle competitions

Looks great, thanks for sharing the pics. Very tempted.

When/if you get the chance, could you post some pics of it broken down?

I managed to get some quick pictures before I disappeared back across country, apologies for the crap quality, but this was done in crap lighting quickly. Here is how it's broken down.

Obviously after checking it's clear you fold the stock

Then you press down on the base of the recoil spring guide.



Whilst doing this you rotate the safety past a S point (this point is spring loaded), this drops a pin that engages with the rear of the block you're pressing down on.



The Lower then swings away.



Retract the bolt to this point and remove the charging handle.



Component parts.



and the bolt

Good pics David, very helpful, just need an influx of guns !!!!!

Appreciated, thanks.
