From the question earlier, FCD is more expensive than other quality parts because the designer uses his experience to design and develop improved versions of parts where he's seen them fail over the years, or believe they could use improvement. One example is machining a mark in the cam pin so you can put it back the same way every time and reduce bolt carrier wear as putting it back in random directions wallows out the hole unevenly over time.

Is it just me or does Magpul grossly over price everything other than pistol grips, stocks, and mags, and not just their M-lok components

I don't think $18 is unreasonable for their windowed 30 rounders

Wait did you have mags listed and I didn't notice it or did you add it?

I added it since you pointed it out, but they want 100 bucks for a pretty meh bipod, and 20 for a swing swivel

Yeah. I saw a Magpul stock for $255. It better grow arms and legs and watch my six for that price. Edit: I guess they have tons of budget options, I never bothered looking before now.

Bolt action rifle stocks tend to have a lot more going on with them

I've heard they're good. People have called the mpx a modern mp5
