It is. It was so much simpler when they just left the forward assist and dust cover off....

At least with DD vs Smith, there are differences listed in the specs.... barrel steel, full auto bolt carrier, receiver extensions made of different alloys, etc... While we can discuss the merits of these differences and whether or not they make any real world difference to a shooter, they are there and they do cost more.
With the Sport OR vs the OR, barrel steels are the same. Alloys for receivers are the same (at least as far as I know). Perhaps the internals are different? Maybe the Sport no longer shares the same bolt as the rest of the line? Perhaps FCG is different as well?
