Its a tack driver; don't get it. Too much accuracy for the mission. There are better battle-ready ARs with the required features you should have.

Spend less and get more... buy a Colt LE6920. I have a Les Baer Super Varmint and it is a great gun... big, heavy and accurate. For a go to carbine you can't beat the 6920, that's what I have. :D
Better precision is never a reason to dismiss a weapon.
If I had two identically performing/feeling weapon in front of me and one was .01 MOA more precise, I would go with the more precise gun. Higher precision equals lower sight picture perfection to achieve an acceptable hit, which means that you can fire the shot sooner, which means that the thing that needed to be shot gets shot sooner. These are good things when that thing that needs to be shot is a person that is trying to kill you.
Now, if you mean that the weapon is less reliable due to it's chamber/throat, I would agree that an slight increase in precision is not worth the reduced ability of the weapon to function properly.
I don't mean to nit-pick, but this is one of those "conventional wisdom" things that I have a big problem with.
But to get back on topic-
There is nothing the LB does that another company doesn't match or exceed while using quality parts, assembled correctly.
I really want to know how the backward castle nut is torqued to spec considering that they must only be able to use a single-tooth stock wrench since a multi-tooth will be impossible to remove from the castle-nut/receiver plate once tightened down?
I guess it really isn't that much of a mystery.
They aren't.
