One thing I learned about SHOT Show 2012
Is that Magpul Industries is the leading AR15 accessories company by far and that will not change anytime soon. I was watching some of the YouTube recaps of SHOT SHOW 2012, and the guns that I see coming out look like the same old overly designed handguns and carbines that I will stay away from until they’ve had at least 5 years of service. Just look at the pattern of recalls and redesigns on the Springfield XD and M&P guns and also the Glock Gen 4’s. I don’t know why anyone would be the first to jump on a new design until it has been proven on the streets or in military service.
I am a big fan of the LWRC gas piston design and even though I love the LWRC REPR, it is a very expensive invenstment, Magpul accessories are even showing up on LWRC guns like the lighweight uppers and that is a great match. Magpul accessories are the premier AR15 stock accessories. Sig Sauer has a couple new M4 variants and even a new gas piston 308 for about $2000. Great idea but even my LWRC M6A1 has been through several production changes and the M6A1 I have now is not the M6A1 that are being made. If you have the money to spend and want to have your first production that’s your choice, but buyer beware because nothing seems to perfect off of the first run.
