    Okay got it in today and this is what I found.

    The receiver tube looks nice but we all know otherwise now. The M4 stock that came with it is commercial. It has to because of all the sloppy slop rattle rattle in all positions.

    The receiver end plate looks really nice as does the castle nut and buffer but the spring looks too short by maybe an inch compared to pics on the BCM website.

    I put it up for sale on TOS and sold it in less than 5 min. I'm going to eat about $10.00 on this thing but hey I figure that's my punishment for trying to save a buck instead of getting a proven product.

    I do not know, but do know that they are 7071 and high quality.

    1. How about someone making 'A List" on the RE's that has been following this closer than I have

    2. I prefer the LMT RE's with their enhancements anyone else?
