Ngl, Was excited for this one to drop but 700+tax+shipping and it doesn’t even include a buffer tube or any other hardware…

Am I out of touch or is that fuckin nuts?? I was so down to buy one but now I’m not so sure

Its pretty steep. The mdt oryx is like $400 and it comes with a pistol grip and a fixed buttstock.

Mdt also has $700+ options but they offer more than this. The only place this stands out is the limited marked of solid SkS chassis'. The manufacturer knows were short on options and some dinks will inevitably overpay for it.

Yeah there’s an element of that for sure, but I see it more as trying to recover investment before something stupid happens. I totally get it.

I’m actually happy that it doesn’t come with a bunch of stuff other than the chassis. I’ve got lots of dusty furniture that would fit on it in my place right now. I really don’t need any more AR parts sitting around collecting dust. Plus I have the exact setup I’d use already, so everything would just transfer over.

The big issue is ammo. I refuse to shoot corrosive, i have a smaller quantity of non-corrosive kicking around, but I never bothered to reload for my SKS. It just wasn’t worth it. I got a set of dies with a giant box of reloading stuff I bought off a co-worker, but other than that I’d have to start from scratch, and would it really be worth it?

All to shoot a platform that i’ve always been somewhat underwhelmed with regardless of improvements.
