With their new website about to be birthed this is probably only the tip of the Iceberg. I will also say that their customer service second to none!

Apparently I'm in the minority. I think it's hideous. Too much going on for my tastes. Then again, I hate the San Tan lowers too.

I'm sure this will be light weight, but....

It is a little busy, that's why I got the BAD-15 instead. But for the ultra light weight market I'm sure this will be a kick ass product. Looks like 2A Armament, V7 and BAD are about to go head to head for this light weight market.

Roger is starting his own company. He and George plan to carry each others products.

The BAD-15 sure is a nice looking receiver. Definitely at the top of my list for my next receiver.

You aren't the only one. Although I did like the design of the STT-15.

Maybe this is just me; but those holes in the trigger guard gave me a flashback of that one dude trying to do his own "light weight" version by drilling out holes in the pistol grip ... [crazy]

$499 for the set is cheaper than I thought it would be. I was thinking it would be closer to Noveske Gen 3 pricing of $325 for the lower and $316 for the upper.

That thing would be a nightmare for an engraver to do SBR engraving...

Would probably have to be engraved above the fire control pins.

It's still a little steep in pricing, but I really like mine.

Very nice looking, but I think I'll be priced out of this one.

$499.99 isn't as bad as I would have thought. It beats $641 for a Noveske Gen III stripped set.

To many needs not enough means… I also thought it would be in the 6's, far from cheap or expensive, but priced outta range for folks like us with way to many builds going that need this or that lol

Does anyone know if Battle Arms ever has a coupon code for Wevo members? I've been eyeing this lower for awhile and got the green light now....

I don't think BA has really ever had coupon codes for anything other than free shipping.

Thank you UWone77, I was gonna wait to get it at Rainier but it looks as though they only sell the set.
