I'm about to pull the trigger on an AICS 2.0. I know they're sturdy but before I burn this kinda cash, I want to know if any long-time users of the AICS 2.0 have had any wear show up on the hinge?

I mean is it as rock solid as when you bought it or has a little play built up over time? Time owned and frequency of use would be helpful. Not looking for safe queen reliability.

I shoot regardless of weather so I'm likely to get grit in the hinge, regardless of how hard I try not to.

Mine have always stayed tight. It is a great setup, and I am surprised just how solid it locks up. My oldest was about 4yrs and 4k rounds. Same unit comes on the aw. Buy with confidence. One more thing, feature for feature, the AICS is cheap IMO. No fully optioned/bedded mcm would cost so little.
