I commented on another thread like this a couple of days ago.
I've ordered twice from them. One was good, the second was missing parts with the BCG. They said they would ship them, but never did. You get what you pay for…. |

For that price, the parts are probably made in China...

I just have a question I have never been able to figure out.
With he barrel accounting for about 90% of the firearms precision why would anyone even consider one for the cheapest price from an unknown source? |

For some people, hitting paper is all the precision they want or need. Others prefer for a rifle to LOOK cool, but not necessarily PERFORM to any standard. But if these parts do perform and are cheap at the same time, then why not get them, or at the very least, try them out? |

The extension and pin are dark, looks like one of those barrels where they melonited them after complete assembly, which is a no-no. Life is too short to mess with cheap barrels, after you have had to send a few back. IMHO.

That's a $40 upper receiver and a $15 handguard.... making that barrel cost $135. |

Why doesnt someone either call them or email them and find out what they are all about. That way you arent speculating or slandering a company you guys (except for the one guy who has actually ordered from them) know nothing about. Just my .02 worth.

That PSA upper has a $40 upper, $15 handguard, $40 FSB, $10 muzzle device and $10 gas tube and not factoring in assembly labor, you're looking at the barrel costing $65. |

Exactly and it takes some time to install the FSB. Not something you can easily do at home. |
