    About 8 yr.s ago (DAMN where's the time go!*G*) I purchased a AR15 receiver from them, it turned out to be and "investment casting" (where they cast a part so close to finished part it takes minimum of machining) Surface very porous and not as strong as the original machined forgings. It went back to them! My 2 cents ...Mark

    I purchased on from them also. It was not mil spec. I had to buy all the extras from them so I sold it and bought a bushmaster.

    My buddy has one and it works great. Even with wolf ammo.

    Mine's very good. It came with a stainless barrel which I thinned out and lightened a bit under the handguard. It's very accurate. The lower also mates up very well with a number of extra uppers and spare upper receivers. Unbeknownst to me when I bought it, the gun was privately built from an Oly kit. I paid $725 for it about three years ago and have no regrets.
