With the exception of the Aluminum Lithium, there is nothing innovative and new about this rifle. Even the leaked weight of close to 6lbs. is a joke considering the hype over the weight savings and strength from using Aluminum Lithium.
Tuned GI trigger again? ALG QMS again...
Ambi lower? Never been done before... also appears to only be mag release?
Lightweight? Good God who hasn't done this? V7 has a great lightweight upper that's only 7.7 oz.
Titanium nick-nacks? V7 again.
M-LOK handguard? Keymod thanks you for this because it can now say 'hey, at least I'm not M-LOK'. Neither keymode nor m-lok solve anything that wasn't already solved with customozable rail addition ability. Keymod has BCM advantage of using Aluminum magnesium material for lighter weight is about it.
Extruded buffer tube!? Mind blowing! Never heard of it.
Enhanced BCG? Lightweight cutout bcg is now good here and new?
Generic 1/7 CHF CL mid gas barrel. No profile listed. Respectable, but again, nit new or innovative.
so we are left with weight and rollmark. Weight has been and can be beaten easily, rollmarks now matter more than ever here so you get that one.
No thanks.
Thankfully I can critically assess these things instead of blindly defending my new circle exercising friend(s) by making excusses, assumptions and browbeating others that question.

We get it, you won't be buying one.
Actually if you go to the Hodge Defense website and scroll down to the bottom you'll see the Mega arms logo.
Ignoring the noise in this thread, i'm certainly intrigued by what I see. That's not to say I'll be purchasing one without a more in-depth look, but still i'll give Hodge credit for utilizing newer materials with the strongest manufacturing processes to make a competitive fighting rifle rifle.

Don't know the specifics of what Shrek broke here, but it was just a reminder that... stuff breaks. Stronger is better, lighter is better, but agreed: It's a pretty rare day when AR receivers *break*. Far less dramatic, but weaker materials can go a little egg shaped though in the pin holes, etc. though.
