Wow, this is turning into a better discussion than I had hoped for. I'm not going to waste time doing a copy an paste to address each specific item brought up but I will acknowledge a few points that I see that have been on my mind too.
I have been a little concerned about the new model bugs that may or may not be present. I love that I can run P-Mags and not a platform/company specific mag. After having no choice but to trash GI mags from hitting the dirt and denting the body, I wont use anything but a P-Mag or the Troy Battlemags which have seemed to hold up just as well. For what it is worth these lowers are supposed to handle any mil spec upper. That is why I will register mine as an SBR so I can use my 8" AAC 300 upper for when I am in the brush and know my shots will be less than 100yds. That upper also spends time on my pistol lower with a mag blocked to hold 5 rounds for pistol season. As for what I can understand about the $2000 dollar comment, I think the guy was speaking about, for example you can get a $600 AR or $1500 AR that look identical and are mil spec, but when you figure in warranty and hands on quality control that is where you get into your cost increases and that becomes even more apparent when you compare cheap and expensive AR mil spec because your long term higher end companies hold to tighter tolerances than the others. Personally I dont want a $600 mil spec that is so loose it rattles like a pop can filled with rocks. I come to this sight to lear from people that have actually handled the unit and know more than myself so I can make a more informed choice. I will admit that I am a big Colt fan, but if somebody can keep my modularity and still have something on the same league with the 901 an has hands on experience with it, let me know, I will listen. I just dont want this post to degrade to a brand x is the best an everything else is junk type of situation. And as always, thanks for the responses.
