Buy recommendations Backland Hunter Elite - Thoughts??

Yeah yeah I know it’s likely just another cope garbage rod…but let a man dream lol. Anyone think it could be decent?

Sounds like the elite features a heavier buffer and spring, as well as some changes to the bolt carrier. Could the improvements make this thing at least somewhat reliable out of the box?

Seems like the upgrades made it functional, but many argue it’s still not worth the money, especially given the makasi making it to market. I’d still get one if I had the cash, and I agree I’d probably slap a wood m4 stock on it because I actually like the AR ranch rifle look.
