Idk. It’s got some things I just don’t agree with. Pencil barrel? Combat has evolved to where you would see diminishing returns from a thin barrel and high volume of fire. Polymer lower? Has integrity limitations that it’s limited to a carbine carbine buffer instead of benefiting from a rifle length buffer. Not sure if they even considered the A5 buffer. Red dot is pretty standard but magnified optics is the game these days.

For a civilian rifle I bet it would be okay however possibly a stretch for military use.

Everything is "demonstrably" (whatever). . .  ::)

Why be stuck with what someone would've done decades ago. Things evolve.  Yeah, sometimes not for the better, but I'd rather my 2020 version of ARs than the 19-whatever version.
