So aside from the huge price differences are they the same? I understand cmmg’s egress kit would cost more as they come with the cs ejector spring and 1 pc gas ring, but what about the rest?
My kit includes a black insert, CS extractor spring and a Crane O-Ring (direct from the factory where Crane buys theirs). I also offer the McFarland single piece gas ring.
The prices that others charge seem VERY high, but if they can get it, more power to them!
I purchased a CMMG E.G.R.E.S.S. Kit a few years ago. At the time it was the only complete kit available but I would never pay that much now that we have better quality & cheaper options available.
FYI - The E.G.R.E.S.S. kit does not come with a true Defender. It comes with a knock-off, even though it worked fine for $30 you would think they could afford the real deal.
IMO – Buy the G&R kit, it has everything you need and it’s a way better deal.
