    They've been selling the steel MBUS PRO since September, they're pretty rad! Love the fact you can adjust the FSP without a special tool.

    That's a fine blaster you have there. How are you liking the Umbrella grip?

    Thanks man! I love the grip. To most people it looks weird because it's almost completely vertical, but it enables you to pull your elbow into your body tighter and great reduces wrist fatigue in that position compared to a normal pistol grip. I had a magpul MIAD before it and my wrist always bothered me after shooting because of the position it was locked in.

    mainly just a personal preference. I'd prefer polymer or mags with anti tilt followers

    get a bad feed every now and then, it bugs me how easy it is to jam a GI mag follower

    I'm hoping to jump on one of their Black Friday deals. If I get the stuff they previewed, I'll have a complete AR that I'll be into for less than $400 and still have decent quality parts.

    EDIT: Bought the complete PTAC upper for $280, got my lower during a local group buy, spent a little extra $$ on a LPK to get a decent trigger so I'll be into this total build for right at $400.

    gotcha. The GI mags I have now (current production) have tan followers and are suppose to be anti tilt. They seem pretty good so far.
