RRA is making an AR lower with an AK magazine well now. They're the only ones I know of off the top of my head though.
Modularity doesn't make sense for everyone. I mean. I don't know how many times I've heard it on this site: "What do you want the rifle to do?" If your answer is honestly: "Everything," then this might well be the system for you.
Personally, I wanted the Cobb Manufacturing modular AR more than the MGI, but mostly because the magazine well choices didn't limit you to short action rifle, or pistol, cartidges. They made a magazine well and uppers for .308 length cartridges. They even made a version in 30-06 that took modified BAR magazines. Saw one once at a gun show and it just blew me away. Then again, I'm also all excited over the LOSOK Valkyr: losokcustomarms.com/pages/valkyr.php, so that may just be a personal quirk.

Am I seeing that right? A long action M1A? That is freakin cool. I think KAC makes an AK lower 47 & 74. I know nothing about them though.
True, you are correct "what do you want your rifle to do" is a frequent question. It is also important. I don't know how many folks I know on and off line that bought or built a rifle with no direction and ended unhappy. The majority of the time, it's too long an heavy for 99.9% of the shooting a person is going to do. I'm in that pickle myself, I have not had a chance to go out and do the long range thing in so long that I am having a hard time justifying keeping my sass.
I can't help but think the added level of modularity is a good thing, even if I can't find a place for it myself. Then again I am speaking purely from speculation, having no first hand experience with it.

Thank you for taking the time to do this. It is a BIG help, and I learned something new. Looks like you can pull the barrel pretty quick, that is a definite plus.

I meant modular as in the lower. Kinda like the new Colt. I can see swapping uppers or changing barrels like with the LMT. I personally, have no use for a modular lower receiver.
Two bolts, a mag change and possibly a bolt to change caliber a with the LMT
