Seems like a sound opinion and option. This gun isn't for blasting a few hundred rounds in a couple of hours. It's a nice day at the range kind of gun where talking is happening as often as shooting. </div></div>
Whether for blasting or not, wouldn't you rather have a better-built BCG that can stand up to hard use anyway? What if you needed to use that weapon for defense? As the old saying goes - <span style="font-style: italic">"better to have it and not need it, than need it and not have it".</span>

At some point, yes, but that sounds more like a justification to buy something simply because it is "better" than because I might someday need it. That's the kind of thinking that leads to the "Nightforce is the best scope for the money" argument (as if in order to get a scope that works, even one that works well, one must spend $1500+ - Yes, I do have a NF on the way).
I will get one, but if the argument is purely theoretical, as in I might one day need a BCG that will stand up to nuclear blast, I'll wait to try and offset the cost of the gun + accessories before I start adding bells and whistles.
I was under the impression that the DPMS BCG was somehow completely inferior. It seems that it is fine unless I want to put 1000 rounds down the tube 4 days a week. I'm looking at perhaps only shooting a couple thousand rounds a year.
