    I've been watching videos and reading on this new batches of LW-15 polymer and the people that have used them seem to love them. They have a lifetime so we'll see... I just know I should have listened to my buddies and bought my rifle in the beginning of December.

    Don't use the stock as an impact device and you'll be ok :)

    Like I said earlier, lots of guys I work with use them and like them, but I don't think they would really stand up to actual abuse. I feel the receiver extension threading is the weakest part of the thing. The rest, most likely GTG.

    I know if I was making a video showcasing my product I would only show the good stuff :)

    I told a bunch of people about 6 months ago to take every dime they they could spare and buy AR lowers and silver.... did they listen? No..... But I take my own advice.

    Got my Colt M4 right before the shit hit the fan. I work at a local shop in Cleveland, OH and we cannot obtain ANY black rifles (we get them as we get them, which is sparse). The last 4 we got in were gone in a half hour. Magpul 210's are non-existant. It sucks that they are demonizing these sport rifles for something that could of been done with any type of firearm (long gun, hand gun, etc.).

    How hard is it to get a complete upper at this point? I've been looking online and those too are on back order.

    300blk, yes. Ammo availability is better than 6.8 imo.
