The plain black ones are still selling for $1000.My first thought was why is this over $1000?
It's only the green and brown ones selling for $1100.
Compared to the Mossberg or Ruger alternative, the quality of these seem much better.
I would hope so given that it costs more..... I bought an American a couple years ago for $700 all in where as the $999 Bison price after tax and shipping is likely over $1100
I don't mind the cheap plastic stock on the American and it shoots great, bolt was bit noisy and rough but it was easy to smooth out, I haven't bothered adjusting the trigger weight as it was nice out of the box. I wouldn't really compare the rifles though as other then mag compatibility and caliber, they are quite different.
Our Government trusts rivets more then law abiding gun owners.
I have tried both Mil Spec and Commercial.
The Bison appears to have a Mil Spec buffer tube, so I added a sticky felt pad to help the wobble with the Commercial stock.
The significant difference between the mil-spec and commercial AR-15 buffer tubes is the outer diameter of the stock-end, which will also determine the type of buttstock you buy. At the buttstock end, the commercial buffer tube is . 02” wider than the mil-specific buffer tube—1.168" vs. 1.148" diameter respectively.
I ordered 2 Luth AR MB3 stocks from China (think all are made there now), will try it out on my Bison, maybe sell the other.

Can we pre order any of the new mags for it?
Once I see how things play out once the dust settles, I’ll most likely pick this up.
