Just like like the cylinders in an engine, they seal best after the first 3000 miles or so. Doesn't mean you need to worship a goat over them and change oil every 100 miles.
    Well said.

    IMHO, it is a good thing that a BAD lever doesn't come with it.

    I believe that their Bolts are batch HP/MPI. Don't know about their barrels.

    This gun is excellent and features one of the best lowers out there IMHO. $1200 is a high and this gun should sell closer to $1050-$1100.

    Grant, will there be any color options on the furniture?
    My brother saw Deliverance and bought a Bow. I saw Deliverance and bought an AR-15.

    Well I'm new to AR's but if I may try to take a stab at this. Correct me if I'm wrong...

    I bought a BAD lever and installed it on my DDV1 and the next day I went to the range. For starters I did not like the fact that something else was near my trigger and also in my trigger guard besides my trigger... Second, I have taken 2 combat/general AR classes and when we were going over malfunction drills I did not have the BAD lever on my AR so while I was at the range practicing malfunction drills I was doing so using the BAD lever. It then dawned on me that I could potentially be teaching myself a bad (no pun intended) habit, unless in the future I put the BAD lever on all of my AR's, but still this is not what I have been taught and I then thought to myself that this little while neat device could potentially fail, and I would be screwed if I had formulated a habit using it.

    The last thing that hit me was that if I were to bring my AR with the BAD lever installed to one of my classes that I most likely would be asked to take it off.

    I also did not like how it has a bit of wiggle to the lever. So in all while I think that the BAD lever is neat, I do not think it will benefit me in the long run and one day or if ever my life depends on the usage of my AR I want to use the same training across the board from start to finish. Also again for me nothing in the trigger guard but the trigger. Keep it simple. BAD lever was put on for 2 days 1 range session and taken off.... Where it will stay...These are just my reasonings for feeling that the BAD lever has no place on my AR and most likely the reason it's not on this one..

    This seems like a really nice rifle. I noticed a lot of nice rifles around 1k or less out now. When I bought mine not long ago it seemed like I had to go with a colt 6920 or something in the 1400 range.

    I picked up one of these for $1099. The Magpul branded lower, 1:8 4150 CMV Melonite lightweight barrel, and the proprietary S&W muzzle device were interesting. Surely not "mil-spec", but it's not a naked bore. BCG is SA and buffer is not H-stamped for those that care about such things.

    This is my first foray into LW barrels and I'm pleased with the balance. Unless it's a dedicated medium or match contour barrel, I can't see the benefit of Govt profile under the handguards and standard contour starting from the gas block forward.
