http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=4&t=492079 I haven't shot it yet, but it seems to be very well machined. |

I see lots of complants about ar stoner brand products, barrel tool is junk the clips are c products and c products will replace bad ones but the only bad magazines I have ever owned were ar stoners. Have not heard anything bad about their barrels yet, I try to avoid products they put their name on.

You never know about a new company. But everyone has to start somewhere. I will call them Today and ask them how they cut the lands and groves.

Stone The method makes little difference, it's the quality of the job that matters. I doubt they'll tell you they do a bad job. AR Stoner probably isn't the one doing the machining anyway. They probably buy them from a barrel maker and slap their name on it. Tool cut, button, hammer forging, ECM, etc. All of these methods produce a fine barrel. Which one is bad, in your opinion? EDIT: Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that a phone call is a bad idea, but if you find the barrels are button rifled, for example, then what? What would that tell you? |

Both known for HIGH quality.
Like I said, mine appears to be machined well. |

I've been wanting one of their hooded front sight gas blocks for a while now but it's on perpetual backorder.
