    I only have the 1 CMMG lower at the mo and its a 9mm so not really apples with apples, but the the machine quality on recent DPMS and Doublestar lowers is very good and they are done at the same outfit, so and educated guess is that CMMG will be good also.
    I have other CMMG bits, and very happy with them

    As Beavis may have said, you WILL grow with it - I doubt there are many people around that their ARs are the same as when they brought them.
    I'll put a box on it that within 2 years time you will be sick of quad rails haha

    Noone knows my movie quote?

    Im thinking the same about quad rails, have an nea 15 quite a slim foregrip but has a rail on top handy, rail underneath and two short ones at the front on each side. Dont see the need to attach lights, lazers, front pistol grip, all to add weight and make it look like a swat team weapon only to take it hunting and get caught up in twigs and branches alike and start cursing the bloody thing.

    the NEA forend is awful


    I sold my quadrail because I no longer have night vision so I don't need rails. Tube forend best forend. I don't see how I could improve on my current setup greatly beyond higher quality components

    I would call it awful, slim enough for a decent grip, but in the cold weather that alloy will be real cold to hang onto without gloves, those troy ones look good or maybe the hogue one.

    I'm not sure why everyone thinks they need BUIS, once again you're not GI Joe and if hunting, how many hunting rifles have Irons just incase the scope is damaged?

    I don't need BUIS, but I like using irons and with a Hogue tube there's no option for mounting them except a FSB which means you'd have to have a carbine length tube (on my gas system, anyway) and longer tube is better, lets you get the support hand out closer to the muzzle

    Also I'd love to have backup irons for my hunting rifle.

    NEA have a new rail on the way - I have no idea what it will be like. My personal favorites are the Samson or Troys. Probably more the Samson at this stage as its diameter fits my hand and it allows a suppressor to fit inside. The Troys are slimmer. The NEA, Troys and Samson rails all fit directly onto the standard barrel nut - no need to remove the existing nut and the gas assembly to fit something proprietory.
    The CMMG lowers we have are nice. Its a pity they are so difficult to get at this stage.

    PM me to discuss - our intention was to sell the cmmg's as a DIY kit with everything you need - CMMG lower/upper/lpk + A2 stock and Ergo grip - this was to keep the price low. But we also now have some other brands in the process of being secured. Youre local too so you can always swing buy to have a look etc. PM me for details.

    If I was starting out I would buy a sub 2K CMMG.

    I just got a set of DPMS rifle handguards for my A3/A4 rifle build and I'm not happy. They look like they were made by a retard in the dark with a blunt pair of scissors. The heat shields look like chopped up coke cans hammered into the shitty handguards. Not relevant to the thread but need to vent.
