Archived [ARCHIVED THREAD] - What is the difference between the Virtus and Gen 2 ?

How can you tell the difference between the new Virtus and the Gen 2 MCX ? Other than the name itself ?

Virtus MCXs have a QD sling mount near the rear of the hand hard and one above the grip.  It is also labeled as Virtus.  The bolt carrier is different, the hand guards are different and they feel about 1-2 pounds heavier.  Solid as a tank.

BCG is the same on the Virtus as the upgraded one for the Legacy MCX except the spring plate is now metal and pined in place.
