If you liked the Gen 1 what wouldn’t you like about the Gen 2?

I only have the original gen.1 so I can't say one is better than the other or not.
I can tell by looking at the gen.2 that I like the look of the original gen.1 better. I'm sure I would be happy with either though. The gen.2's cost less so I would guess it is not as much of an improvement as a lesser priced alternative. |

Gen 1 is heavier. I didn't mind the extra weight.
Design has changed, I don't really care about A5 buffer systems and will probably never switch to one. The extra sling attachment points are nice possibly, but I doubt I'll use them. The Gen 2 loses the changeable strike plate. Those are a few changes that make the Gen 2 different, the weight probably being the primary. |

I have both (one Gen 1 and two Gen 2s). I like the fact that the Generation 2 is lighter, and I like the option to run an A5 buffer system. The fact that the tube is A5-length makes it less idiot proof--you could mess your lower up if you use a carbine length buffer and spring without the spacer. You can also use the metal strike plate or the AccuShot Strile Plate Rail (below) for the Gen 1, but they won't work on the Gen 2. Overall, I like the Gen 2 better.

Received the Gen 2 today. It's nice, but I would prefer a Gen 1 or rethinking what to use.
Guess this will never see a mount and be listed shortly.
