from the many threads here discussing them the majority of those critical cite the material failures, and the fact it just isn't a traditional AR.
It is a hard sell to get those who have had a generation of success with the forged aluminum receivers to "go plastic" They do not save much weight, and they are not much different in price - if any. I suppose it is different, made with inferior materials, and offers no advantages over a proven product |

Is it just carbon fiber lowers? I've shot several of the CavArms polymer lower guns and have yet to hear of a problem with them. I've been wanting to pick up one of their lowers in Coyote Tan for months now.
