The hex is one way of ensuring you get an older rifle made before the war if that is what you want, otherwise it’s just another excuse for the sellers to shove it up your ass price wise, once upon a time they could care less what receiver type they sent you until someone told them they could make money overcharging for the hexes. Leave it as it is.
