Pretty much this - they don't get a whole lot of attention from "tactical" folks on the boards, though a lot of stuff they either make or sell has found its way onto combat weapons - they were selling smooth sided "modular" round handguards with removable rail sections for years before they became "in vogue," and long before the age of everyone wanting an RMR or MRDS or T1, the JPoint was the "king" of mini-red dot sights, and in their winged ACOG mount showed up on a lot of TA01NSNs, and formed the basis of the 4x DOS PIP for the SOPMOD program.
That being said, I don't personally care for the aesthetics of their receivers, but that's just a personal opinion thing - and it's all very functional. Just not Cerakoted tan, and therefore uninteresting to a lot of people.
Of course - I would also note that you need to have a measured application of "game" gun stuff on a "tactical" gun, not everything translates perfectly - but there's a lot of good stuff available that often "filters down" into the "tactical" market eventually - Jeff Gurwitch has a great article on "3-gun to Tactical Crossover" over at Defense Review.
