Sorry to keep popping in with these questions. There is a lot to know about ARs because everyone makes something for them. I guess thats one of the advantages of the gun.
Anyway, I see both aluminum (I guess the mil-spec) and also steel receivers. Obviously some difference in weight and a big difference in price. But is there any practical difference and why would someone opt for one over the other.
