not fully interchangeable. some parts are.

ratworx makes (and/or sells) most of the aftermarket parts for it that i know of. a lot of their parts are trying to make it more like an AR-15. the hybrid bolt and hybrid trigger pack let you use AR-15 parts. their trigger pack, while pricey, is fantastic. i had some of the other brand trigger mods, but they made it very unreliable. sometimes the trigger wouldn't even reset. the raptor charging handle helps the heavy charging pull weight, but the new trigger pack helped that a lot too.

i also had problems switching between brass and steel case ammo. it does fine with brass. it would do fine with steel as well, but you shouldn't switch between the two without cleaning first. i won't explain why, as a simple google search should tell you. i broke an extractor doing this. however, with ratworx's hybrid bolt and new extractor, it handles both just fine.

i've handled both this and the old pre-ban aug and just like this better.
