Would be interesting to see the Massoud make production. It just really sucks for them having Bushmaster at the helm. They cut a lot of corners and I know Magpul wouldn't do that if they were responsible for production.

I held one and wanted it, until those facts came to light.

Plus the M4 profile barrel with no other options. They just don't seem to care about it all that much. I wish Magpul had not tossed it over to them.

You see, I thought that would be a good thing. Have a big company with the capabilities to do those things.

Its still a cool gun, just got moved down the list until I have my own mill/lathe to make my own barrels.
