Don't let the budget reputation of this company fool you. This is a serious rifle with high quality parts. We are hoping to have a sample for a full torture test in the near future

I would love to check one out as well. That picture has a ton of premium stuff on there with Magpul and Daniel Defense furniture. Personally, I think how you put together an AR is more important that the parts themselves. Was proper staking used on the gas key and the castle nut, etc. I used to think that S&W M&P's were overpriced and that you could get a RRA CAR-15 and tweak it for less money. After Chris and I actually had to break one down to upgrade a few of its parts, did I realize how solid their rifles are put together. I now think M&P are a good value for the quality of the build itself.

Looks like it would be a good peace, but I would need some triger time before I could really say. Seem good though.
