[QUOTE="eby42, post: 929150, member: 8263"] It's a great platform. There has been a QC issue with a piece on the inside of the receiver hitting the BCG and causing some wear, but mine and plenty of others haven't been affected. I have a Classic with front and rear MI BUIS and a Leupold MK 4 1.5-5x20 scope. I'd definitely recommend it. Mine is one of my favorites. pros: -Civilian version of proven Swiss piston operated assault rifle -Very accurate -Better trigger than stock AR -Slightly less/different recoil than AR due to front weight of gas piston and front gas port -Very fun to shoot and extremely reliable and easy to maintain in my experience -Definitely high on the list of "AR alternatives" IMO; mine gets shot more than my 6920 FWIW cons: -QC issues on a few rifles -Furniture feels a tad cheap for the price (not terrible, just not great) -A tad expensive (not really more so than better piston AR's though) -OEM mags are crap; use PMAGS or USGI -The rear BUIS is a little cheesy as was the red dot that came with it (both were serviceable but have been replaced) [/QUOTE]
