Anyone gave these a shot yet? Opinions?

I like the looks of it. I really dig the serial number and what not being on the trigger guard.

The unnamed "Special blend alloy" is enough to make me run. The full auto marking also turns me off. Too many proven manufacturers out there.

You can only get so special and call it 7075. It's just "clever" marketing to say it's tempered.
It's an attempt to differentiate in a saturated market. What I don't get is they go out of their way to low profile the SN, then mark up the selector like a 12 year old girl who just discovered makeup.

I am digging the full stealth mode too, but can't say that's enough for me to take a chance on one. I've done the billet thing a few times and always end up back at forged too.

Well Im going to take one for the team and give it a shot. I like the clean no rollmark look. Im not too concerned with the white selector stuff as I can paint it (might cerakote it burnt bronze)

Will be going on a BCM middy upper (buy one get a free comp and bcg was too good of a deal)

Nice to look at, not to own. I'd pass.

Pass, anything royal is Un American!
Actually Im a bit suprised its from Oxnard too...

I like the clean lines and subtleness of it. I agree the markings are a bit bright, but thats easy to fix. Price is a bit high for the current market. Will withold judgement oh the actual performance as I dont have, nor have read, about it.

It looks great. I love how they put all the info on the trigger guard, that's really cool.

But I have 4 BCM's laying around on the workbench, so I have no need in experimenting with untested variables.
