Does anyone have info on coal valley ea-15s.Ive been told they were built by the company that is known as Armalite today. Yes Eagle Arms is now known as Armalite

Were they built well? For most part they were

Were all of them preban? Up to around 20k (some gray area here)they are preban but to confirm w/a letter will cost you IIRC $25

BTW, since I live in a ban state thats what I use here , LMK if  you want to sell.

I have one I've had for a long time, believe they were made by Armalite. Many were pre ban. Good quality, color is more grey than black.

I've acquired 3 or 4 of them over time and think they work rather well.  

Independent of ArmaLite, Karl Lewis and Jim Glazier formed a company named Eagle Arms in Coal Valley, Illinois in 1986.

Lewis had manufactured a wide variety of both commercial and military parts for M-16 rifles, and Eagle Arms assumed the increasingly distracting retail business from Lewis’
company, Lewis Machine and Tool (LMT). Eagle Arms initially marketed M16 and AR-15 type rifle parts. The early Stoner patents had expired, and Eagle was able to build both
parts and complete rifles. In 1989 Eagle commenced production of complete rifles, with LMT serving as the major supplier.
