What components make it different from the m4? to my eyes it looks like the same system but what changed inside? Is it more reliable?

I hate to say it, but all AR platforms are basically the same visually.

As long as the receivers lock together tightly and you have a good barrel, it’ll just as accurate as any other rifle.The internals are more so what help with reliability. I’m sure some well practised Google-fuu will with the testing results.

Realistically the bigger difference is the newer optic and muzzle device. I would honestly be curious to see how comparable a well kept C7/C8 would be with this optic and MFMD stuck on it would be.

That said, I’m sure some of the current C7 receivers have been in use since the late 80s to early 90s. I can’t imagine how they’re doing after 30-40 years of use, so it was probably about time some newer production receivers started rolling out.
