Which is completely legitimate. If one is hunting, plinking, competing, etc. there is no reason to buy a KAC, LMT, Larue, or HK 417 over a good DPMS pattern rifle. For sniper matches I use rifles built on DPMS parts but the reason to buy a KAC or similar is to use as a battle rifle with reliability under harsh conditions, harsh firing schedules, etc. being paramount.
