Can anyone tell me, or point me to a site, that can explain the difference between the various generations of this rifle?

I think there have been only 2 generations, the main difference being the bolt. Some have said upper went from billet to forged, but I don't know exactly. I have a gen2 and it has been flawless with about 1k through it so far.

couple threads I pulled up quickly:

and a pic of the dual ejector bolt vs a JP for comparo:

Thanks for the links, I googled and failed. So it appears there was no issue with mags between the 1st and 2nd gen, which was my main concern.

In addition to the bolt change, there was a change of going from billet to forged uppers. I have both Gen 1 and Gen2 and both perform flawlessly with PMAGs and LaRue mags.
