The issue isn't the price, the issue is quality. I have a BCM upper on a DSA lower with G&R LPK which adds up to just at $1k, just over with a rear sight.
I'd take that BCM as-is over a Delton/DPMS/Oly whatever with an Eothing on it for the same cost.
When I see a rifle like these that doesn't stake things probably, my next question is "if they missed these overtly obvious things, I wonder what hidden problems this rifle has?"
