The ACR (Adaptive Combat Rifle) was an American modular gas-operated rifle designed to be the most advanced rifle platform of its time. The Remington version of the ACR was one of the weapons displayed to U.S. Army officials during an invitation-only Industry Day on November 13, 2008. The rifle platform was also part of the Individual Carbine competition to replace the M4.<ref name = "acr wiki">[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Remington_ACR Wikipedia article on the ACR]</ref>

The ACR was originally known as the 'Masada', and was designed in the early 2000s by Magpul Industries of Austin, Texas. Magpul's original design combined elements from several different modern rifles, incorporating what was considered to be the best features of each into a single, lightweight, modular rifle. Examples of the design features borrowed by Magpul include the short-stroke gas piston system from the AR-18, the wide use of polymers and the location of the charging handle from various HK rifles, the upper receiver design from the FN SCAR, and the trigger pack, barrel, and fire control group of the AR-15. The Masada rifle also included several features developed by Magpul themselves, such as a quick-change barrel/trunnion system, an adjustable gas regulator, a non-reciprocating charging handle, and storage compartments located in the stock and grip.

In late January 2008, Magpul entered into a licensing agreement with Bushmaster Firearms International. Bushmaster would take over production, future development, and sales of the Masada. When production rights were signed with Bushmaster, the Masada name was dropped from the product, and the rifle became known as the Bushmaster ACR. At the time of the agreement, Bushmaster was owned by an American corporate entity known as Freedom Group, which also owned Remington, Marlin, and DPMS Panther Arms. It was decided that Bushmaster would produce the ACR for the civilian commercial market, while Remington would produce the rifle for military and law enforcement agencies.

The military version of the ACR was produced by Remington Arms, and is a select-fire rifle capable of a cyclic rate of fire of around 650 to 700 rounds per minute in full auto. Meanwhile, the Bushmaster ACR is limited to semi-automatic fire only. The fire selector lever is located over the pistol grip, and is a three position lever on the Remington models (with settings for safe, semi-auto, and full auto) and a two position lever on the Bushmaster models (with settings for safe and semi-auto only). The rifle's standard chambering is for the 5.56×45mm NATO cartridge, however the rifle could be modified to chamber the 6.8×43mm Remington SPC cartridges (the 6.8 SPC being specially designed for U.S. special forces usage). The non-reciprocating charging handle can be installed on either side of the rifle, and the magazine release is also mirrored on both sides of the rifle, making the ACR largely ambidextrous. One of the major aesthetic differences between the Remington and Bushmaster rifles was with the handguard: the Remington model has a five-sided aluminum handguard that can be user configured with MIL-STD-1913 rail elements, while Bushmaster's model features a polymer handguard with heat guards and attachable aluminum tri-rail. The ACR is advertised as being adaptive, and can be quickly disassembled and reconfigured as needed. Parts can be replaced and swapped out quickly in the field without the use of tools. To switch between firing calibers, the user simply has to replace the bolt head and barrel. With access to different length barrels and foldable/extendable stocks, the ACR can be quickly modified from the standard configuration into a carbine, a PDW, or a DMR.

The first Bushmaster prototypes were displayed at the 2007 SHOT Show in Orlando, Florida. Originally scheduled for release in the second quarter of 2008, Bushmaster announced in May of 2008 that the consumer release would be delayed until the first quarter of 2009, owing to a focus on military projects. Later that same year in November, Bushmaster released a statement saying, "The ACR is being redesigned to be a superior offering to compete for the next generation US Army infantry carbine and subcompact weapon requirement and will be available to select customers in 2009". In reality, the rifle would not be made available on the commercial market in significant quantities until 2010. The rifle launched with a retail price of between $2,685–$3,061.00, twice as much as early price quotes of "around $1500". The revelation caused public outcry and dismay from a large portion of the firearms community and potential civilian end-users. In October of 2010, Bushmaster issued a recall of all ACR rifles, instructing users to "Please immediately discontinue the use of your ACR rifle" along with instructions to contact customer support for an RMA. Bushmaster stated that the recall was issued due to "a possible firearms performance issue that may develop with a small number of ACR rifles" and went on to state that "Bushmaster discovered a design flaw which could result in multiple rounds firing continuously when the trigger is pulled". Bushmaster stated that it would cover all of the costs associated with repairs to recalled rifles.

Production of the ACR ceased in 2020 due to Bushmaster's shuttering after parent company Remington declared bankruptcy. Franklin Armory purchased Bushmaster, and announced that a revival of the ACR platform was planned, however as of 2022 the ACR has not yet returned to the market.

Quite a few different companies handled her development and she was passed around a lot, which unfortunately resulted in her basic programming being unnecessarily convoluted and messy. A lot of non-mission related datalogs are often deleted automatically, so she may appear to be 'amnesic'.

By the 21st Century, assault rifles were being designed with the intention of being adaptive, modular and compatible: adaptable to different combat roles, modularly changeable between different calibre munitions, and being compatible with different accessories/components. This concept was widely demonstrated by the AR-15 platform used by civilian firearm enthusiasts, who outfitted their AR-15 rifles with various aftermarket receivers and parts. AR-15 rifles are considered extremely modular and adaptable to a variety of different functions, uses, calibre, and firing performances. Designed by Magpul Industries, Remington Arms and Bushmaster Arms, the Adaptive Combat Rifle (ACR), previously known as Masada, was presented to the military with this concept in mind. Designed in 2006 and presented to the US Army on an Industry Day in 2008. The ACR demonstrated the current carbine technology and competed to replace the M4 Carbine in US military service during the 2011 Individual Carbine competition.

The military version of ACR is produced by Remington Arms. The Remington ACR is classified as a gas-operated, selective-fire rifle. It makes use of the short-stroke gas-piston operation of Stoner's AR-18, able to achieve 650 to 700 rounds per minute. The Remington ACR chambers the standard 5.56×45mm NATO calibre, and could be modified to chamber the .300 BLK and 6.8×43mm Remington SPC cartridges (the 6.8 SPC being specially designed for US special forces usage). The rifle can be fed by Magpul's own 30-round capacity PMag or all M16 style magazines. The fire selector lever is located above the pistol grip like M16 rifles, and it toggles between fully and semi automatic as well as functioning as a safety. The charging handle is placed in a manner similar to FN's SCAR, where it is a horizontal reciprocating curved piece located above the magazine well. The magazine release is located just above the trigger. All the features of the ACR can be moved to either side of the rifle making it fully ambidextrous. However, empty brass can only eject to the right, but a deflector is installed to deflect spent brass away from a left handed user's face.

The ACR is advertised to be adaptive, meaning the rifle can be quickly disassembled, parts can be replaced and swapped quickly in the field without the use of tools. To switch between firing calibres, the user simply has to replace the bolt head and barrel. Having access to different length barrels and foldable/extendable stocks, the ACR can be quickly modified into a carbine, PDW and DMR variant from the standard assault rifle configuration. Other features include various polymer gun components to cut down on weight, and a monolithic Picatinny rail along the top of the rifle for attaching optics. Additional Picatinny rails can also be installed on the Remington ACR's handguard to allow for the mounting of other compatible accessories.

The Individual Carbine competition was prematurely cancelled with no winner chosen, so the ACR did not win despite demonstrating all of its selling points. As a result, the rifle itself did not enter mass production. However, in 2008 Bushmaster International entered into a licensing agreement with Magpul whereby they would take over production, future development, and sales of the ACR. Bushmaster produced a semi-automatic version known as the Bushmaster ACR and released it onto the commercial market to civilian gun enthusiasts. Bushmaster also produced various aftermarket conversion kits, allowing the Bushmaster ACR to chamber calibres such as 6.5mm Grendel and 7.62×39mm Soviet.<ref name= "catalog">[https://www.remingtondefense.com/assets/images/catalog/Remington-Defense-Catalog_2014.pdf 2014 Remington Defense Catalog page 12-13]</ref>
