The cast version has a hollowed out (for lack of a better term) body. You can see it from the bottom of the BUIS body.
I thought they were Chinese knock offs when the pics were first posted here, but LMT vouched for them. :rolleyes:

It's probably fine. If you have the LMT on the back of the upper, you probably have some Eopoint Aimcog in front of it that'll end up taking all the whacks.
Big fan of the chopped carry handle:

One question though...I have seen some replace the big thumb screw with a smaller hex screw. Anyone got any info on that?
a battery powered dremel takes a few charges to get it done:o it's gonna take a whole bunch more to lighten the redimag I just got in the mail today:o:o
it's actually a thumb-nut... the distinction is important because a nut can just be unscrewed and replaced. if you're using a regular chopped colt carry handle, the nut should just thumb right on off the screw- take it to your local hardware store and replace it with a hex/torx/flat/phillips/etc of your choosing. the LMTs, on the other hand, are staked on. you might be able to beat them off, but i'd probably just cut it off.
I used a Dremel and the file on my Leatherman.
