All good points. Thank you for your insights. Hopefully Brigade Mfg figures out the barrel nut and handguard issues. Did you find the Carmel's height over bore to be an issue?

“Actively working on these problems” that should never be in the same sentence as 2700$ which is what people are paying for each gun. What a joke lol

Literally. This has been on the market for a few years down south. How was this not solved?

They are essentially Crusader Arms and no one seems to realize it. Small company that has know about the issues for years and uses the customers as the test dummy’s but won’t fix the issues it seems like.

Using customers as test dummies for long term reliability is one thing. Failing quality control by selling rifles with obvious visible defects is another thing.
