    The lower is really quite irrelevant, as long as it's a quality metal and within spec. People have made them out of plywood, and they work just fine. Even Frank's plastic ones work, but most have enough common sense to skip plastic for an HD gun. Gas system installation, quality of bcg and proper dimensions in the upper and barrel are what really counts.
    On a high end AR, you're paying for features, aesthetics, high quality materials, and consistency in assembly. The latter two of which have a direct impact on reliability.

    I actually built and own the gun. An RRA upper/lower with a match trigger, A-2 rifle stock, a Lothar Walther 18" SS barrel with 1-8 twist and a matched bolt, a long free float handguard and an adjustable gas block. I changed out the trigger for a White. By the way Dan the original XM-16E1 had a loose ass lower/upper fit and it was a SOB to shoot in a match, been there done that. Course jumping with them in a rifle pouch or case did not help the fit very much either.

    Remember over priced does not mean better quality, just that you spent too much! Some people drive chevy's but other have to show off in a Caddy...same truck, just overpriced...LOL

    Smooth magnetic suspension, more powerful engine, better headlights, better speakers, nicer to look at, more features overall.

    Just like Hillary and Kate Upton are the same gender and have the same basic parts layout and you can do the same things with both. Yeah, but, ewww!

    haha right after I posted it Dante text me. I'm probably going to swap the stock and get a 14.5 pinned barrel for it. I also need you to sell me that eotech you have on yours lol.
    Then I'd have to replace it with an eotech 556 and the used one just sold....I'm cheap that way.
    No reference to lap dances...
