I grew up in Davenport, Iowa and have only recently heard of duck creek armory in the last few years. I have been in their store a couple times but have not been overly impressed with their packages. Basically everything you see is something you could build out of a brownells catalog for the same price. In an area dominated by bird and deer hunters who still rely on their trusty 12 gauge or grandpa's 30-06, these rifles probably seem pretty attractive. Im sure there is a reason they have not branched out past gunbroker to the forums; we would peck them to death over mil spec issues in their guns. Not saying they don't use reputable suppliers like LMT which is a 20 minute drive away, but one would think they would list LMT on their website as a supplier next to YHM and Midwest Industries if they did. They do sell billet lowers for $149, Id probably pick one up if I was looking to build another AR.
