Just finished this build today, looking forward to running it through it's paces.
The Broadsword Builder kit is extremely rigid and well built with clean machining work. The face of the Upper Receiver is true and showed virtually no Runout
The Upper with it's heavy construction and increased flared forward surface area would be well suited for the heaviest profile barrels. Barrel installation requires a mandatory thermofit, no shims or Loctite required.
Handguard to Upper Receiver fit is exceptional with its integrated anti-rotation tabs and pin create a Rrock solid lockup.
The fit between the 2.5" Titanium Barrel Nut and Handguard are very tight, without even tightening the handguard screws there is no felt Handguard flex. Once the opposing hand guards screws are torqued down with it's wedged Barrel Nut/Handguard design there is absolutely zero flex.
The only down side I would say is thier Broadsword Lower Receiver doesn't have the Full Ambidextrous controls that most quality manufacturers have today.
One of the notable enhancements I do enjoy with the SOLGW lower is they have elongated the grip position so if you have large hands it puts your Trigger Finger in perfect placement.
