nice but for that price I would expect the grip to be a perfect fit. huge gap in it...makes me wonder if the rest is in spec
Originally designed by Magpul Then I would have expected a better fit. Unless the screw isnt in it and is just slid on that would explain it. |

But for the record, I think $550.00 would be a better price. The trigger is the best part. I am also glad they didnt put ambi everything on it. I am not a ambi guy because it perpetuates training issues when you pick up someone elses rifle. As for the price breakdown when compared to other offerings in the same class: Billet upper with forward assist and dust cover: $150 Billet lower with LPK and receiver extension kit (milspec) : $250 Larue Trigger: $150 So, there is your $550 selling point. |

If it had a decent bolt carrier with it I could see that price, without it its big middle finger to the ARCOM community at that price.
Why not say thanks to massive amount of members the site has by pricing this combo at a decent price, instead of over charging. |
