A couple of things here not to get us too far from the topic of the gargantuan masturbatory mess that the M7 platform is and will probably continue turning itself into but...
1.) $12k each really isn't much when considering the MIC's penchant for wasting tax dollars on polished turds...
2.) I actually really like Vortex's SPARC II red dot if you're looking for a budget badass. Hell, I might actually start my own thread on it... The one I have on my personal "M Forgery" has been amazing....
3.) I don't actually mind plastic magazines.... Especially Magpul's Pmags... Those feed lips crack instead of bend in a worse case scenario... but what makes the Pmags really shine is the continuous curve they have... The big issue I have always found with the steelies, including legit Colt, or at least Colt stamped, is that the M16/M4/AR magazine well was designed around 20 round "straight" magazines and every producer of a steel magazine I've come across still puts that damned tight curve section in it and THAT's what causes the follower to hang up...
4.) I love the tacti-cool guys... There's no easier way to spot someone whose life has never depended on their equipment.
