This is a shot of my new 556. Has not been to the range yet but I can comment on the f&f and general feel. The fit and finish is very good if not excellent, rails are a little rough compared to the XCR but no biggy.
The new factory folder is a surprisingly stout piece. Very well made in fact. I like the swiss style button/locking mechanism. I trashed the shitty Maco stock in favor of the superb Magpul CTR. Guys if you have not tried the CTR please do. Tightest lockup of any collapsible I've seen plus the shoulder weld is fantastic. As with all things Magpul it is beautifully constructed. I also ditched the more or less awful factory handguard for a Swiss unit, replaced the equally awful front pivot screw bull shit with a Swiss takedown pin and added a Marcolmar 550 flash & bayo lug. The gun now feels and looks fantastic. Old school when compared to the XCR but kinda sweet just the same.
