Which is the best AR-10 without barrel deflection: the Geissele MRGG or the Seekins SP10M?

There's nothing about the design of the MRGG that looks like it will mitigate shift due to bag vs bipod.
Geissele did recently file an interesting patent application related to lower-mounted handguards though...

I have an LMT MWS 6.5 CM, I've noticed very very little barrel deflection regardless of where the bipod placement is, or using a bag versus bipod in general. I'm not saying it's the best AR-10 on the market, but it really excels in this area
That is interesting… Looking at it though, my inclination is that this is more of a mechanism to make the entire receiver/hand guard assembly more rigid (less wobble) vs. a way to remove the hand guard from the upper. I’d expect some type of “bridge” type scope mount to tie the upper to the hand guard will accompany this.
Of course I could be completely wrong…if they wanted it all tied together, why not just add the lower receiver tie in to a hand guard that’s already attached to the upper receiver too; maybe even a monolithic upper.
And of course tying the upper, lower, and hand guard together negates a simple two-pin take down mechanism too, so that doesn’t really make sense either. But having the hand guard attached to the lower would make it difficult, if not impossible, to remove the upper receiver/barrel assembly anyway…maybe there’s enough clearance to release the pins, rotate the upper, and the slide it out?
Edit: And how would you pull the BCG for a quick field strip/cleaning without first removing the hand guard?
So yeah, interesting… The more I look at this, the more questions I have! LoL

KAC or nothing for me. Seekins makes nice stuff. So does G$ but they aren’t and never will be KAC. KAC just has too much lead on everyone via R&D. It’s shame they cost so much on the grey market and and it’s a shame that KAC can’t release more to the commercial market but I also understand military contacts and their obligations. Is what it is.
URX6 14.5 6.5CM is the GOAT currently.
