Is the logo just stuck on the side like a decal, or is is engraved on the receiver?

they were listed on the Blackwater pro shop site about a year or so ago.

forget the exact price and specs.

Now come to think about it, I have seen one Blackwater AR15 for sale on one of the gun auction sites. It was listed at over $2000.

Now what the heck would Blackwater being doing associating with a bunch of know-nothing hacks that can't make an AR as good as Colt?

Guess all those former Spec Ops guys at Blackwater forgot everything they learned about rifles once they left the Armed Forces. What a shame.

They have been teamed up for some time now. Guess that makes Blackwater (and its employees) a second tier/rate company.

Didn't they team up with a LOT of manufacturere... I heard they are even coming out with their own line of Camo and LBE along with armor, holsters, etc.  Glock is in on it I believe. I wonder if it will be tacticool...

Honestly.....

Other than the "funny lookin' vertical grip"-



I like it!

I agree that is one fugly vertical grip. If it works I guess it don't matter how it looks right?

Very nice.

Sir, may I use the image of the Blackwater receiver in my receiver markings image database? I will give you photo credit.  

Thank you.

It's laser etched. The weapon in the pic is one of many configurations offered. BUT PLEASE GET THOSE SMEGMA'S AWAY FROM THE BUSHMASTER!

What kind of pistol grip is on the Blackwater?

I saw one of these at a show a few months ago.  Very nice rifle.

Lose that VFG and I might be interested.  I'd like to see some makers come out with "semi-custom" AR's, like the "loaded" 1911's with some of the more common add-ons already installed.
1/3/2005 8:02:30 AM EDT
[#31]
The grip is an A.R.M.S. #23. I really wish they would "dehorn" the mount for it and mount a round grip instead. I like the throw lever mounts for convenience of removal, the down side is sharp edges, which could be corrected.

I saw the HK, my error on the Steyr's! I almost picked up one of those, I was leary of parts support if ever needed when GSI wasn't the importer any more. I wonder if Steyr will start bringing them in again? You know that a Glock employee left and went to Steyr and designed that?

Doubt it however my 2 have never even jammed so as far as quality goes (and you didnt see any glocks in the pics because I wont and dont own one) Styer has never let me down and I have around 6 steyr weapons laying around.
When production and all the kinks get worked out at their factory I am sure the weapons will become available again.
And for this

Sure and the AR was copied by the aug even though the aug was developed before Stoner even began experimenting

Even if I needed service I could always turn here

I remember 4 years ago when I was at Blackwater hearing a lot of the instructors praising them. I don't know if they were teamed up officially at the time or not. In any case Blackwater instructors were a chief factor in influencing me to go with Bushmaster over Colt or Armalite.
