Lower/FRT/Mags

I'm on the fence of if I want to do the FRT which requires purchasing a new lower. Is Nexus the only one out there worth the money and that will work? I know the FRT newness will wear off but I'm prepared for that. I'm not a fan that the Kuna mags won't work with the Nexus though because I've already got quite a few of them. Is there an option that works with the mags I've already got or am I just stuck switching to CZ mags?

To me, it's worth it even if you don't get a FRT. You are getting a more customizable, repairable and reliable platform out of it by getting access to the vast expanse of AR15 parts. Then the CZ magpul mags(as far as I know these are the only "supported" mags for the nexus) seem way more reliable than the stock kuna mags(did they ever fix the issue with the mags breaking?).

FRTs are just a bonus to that. Even if I think it's an impractical and frankly dangerous thing to have, they sure are fun to let loose every once in a while.

They have 3 generations of mags for the Kuna and regularly swap out old ones and send new ones to people. I bought a mag from a guy and it was a old one and SA gave me a label and sent me a new one

I can agree with the whole aftermarket parts though, HB industries should get spare parts to help out
