Anybody know anything about this gun. My local store has 6 of them in stock, They seem nice, but I don't know anything about the company. Are they worth $2500?

No, they aren't

Hardware-wise...no. I suppose it's subjective and really depends on how much it's worth to you. I would rather buy a $1000 rifle and spend the rest on hookers or some other tangible item.

Not interested in getting one, but who in CT has those in stock?

you could built that rifle for much, much cheaper!

Incorrect.... HELL NO!!!!, they aren't.

Nothing wrong with MAGPUL BUS, but for $2500 I want some TROYs on my rig. No ambi controls at that price either? WTF? I can buy a MAGPUL design AR15.com Billet SBR fully ambi lower, tax stamp, and transfer for $1100. I have $1400 left over to spend on a quality upper with some better sights and a much better barrel. That weapon comes with a MOE stock for $2500? Gimme a break....

These type of companies rely on the fact that there is a sucker born everyday and most people do not even understand what they are reading or what they are looking at, so they blind them with supposed features in the description....

- KNS Pins, Magpul and Tango Down Components    ..... great, but MOE stock on a $2500 rifle? At least give me a CTR for that price....

- Premium 16″ 1:9 Barrel Chambered in 5.56MM     ..... "Premium"   1:9 ?  Probably isn't even chrome lined. $2500 rifle with a $150 barrel    


ETA: Most of all.... that shit is gay. Zombie rules? Zombie guide? What are we 13? Are we talking airsoft here? Sorry for the mini rant, this kind of shit really bugs me.... overpriced flashy garbage.

That rifle is ugly as shit, and your getting close to the price of a ACR for that turd lol...

Appearances aside it looks like it has custom receivers, some unknown 1/9 stainless barrel and a troy fore end.  Who knows what components they use but you could buy a LaRue OBR for less than that.

No one else does either.

The web site declares that these are Tier One, and the word "operator" is used many times.  I, for one, am convinced that this rifle is a steal!

looks like they use the PWS piston systems

Seeing as you can order a BCM upper with the same rail for $800 with CH and BCG. Then you can build that lower for $300 and another $150 for mbus and vert grip. So for a total of $1250 the only thing you don't get is the cerakote finish, stupid roll marks and that hideous muzzle device. Yea i do not think it's worth it.
12/28/2011 8:15:34 AM EDT

That compensator is the stupidest shit I've ever seen.

Apparently it was auctioned off and "raised $13,000 for charity!" If that's supposed to make someone think this is a good deal then they deserve to get suckered. People donate to charity all the time and receive nothing in return - nice marketing tactic.....derp.

not really its a piston system from PWS, so the upper alone is about 1200
12/28/2011 8:18:02 AM EDT

Keep it mind you also get the zombie survivalist guide. That shit retails for like $9.

Looks like the face stabber break is a PWS FS/break with spikes welded on the ends.  You can see where the PWS ends and the abomination begins.  So a 16" barrel is now effectively a 18-20" without the benefits of a 18-20" barrel.
In my feeble mind it's like the zombie ammo that Hornady sells - it's a novelty item but if you got the dough and big zombie fan then more power to ya.

How are you able to tell that gun used the Piston system?

This quote is under the welcome.

The reason i asked was because of the 5 AR's listed on the site, 4 have the piston system and the last one is a DI and it's the only one to use the troy rails so i assumed that's the rifle they used as the base for the zombie rifle.
12/28/2011 8:54:23 AM EDT
[#22]
You may be right. This company obviously has no idea what they're doing so I wouldn't put the lack of clarity past them.
12/28/2011 8:55:32 AM EDT
[#23]
Yea i didn't know either way. I was just curious if there is something that gives away a piston vs DI rifle that i wasn't seeing.

That is the stupidest AR I've seen in my life.  I've never heard of Ninjas and Jedis fighting  Zombies, it has a super premium 1:9 barrel, and since they inscribed the rules of surviving Zombies on the side, you are forced to look at the worst investment you've ever made in your life to read them, and be reminded why you couldn't afford any other survival gear.  If this abomination brought in $13000 at a charity event, I hope the event was trying to raise money to cure stupidity.  In other words, I wouldn't pay more than $800 for it since you can get a PSA for cheap nowadays

I agree, but you cant really use that as a benchmark for the guns worth, the manufacturer should know this.  Using this as a basis for the price is ridiculous.

"Zombie Survival Guide (yes someone has written a book "

flame me if you will, but i'd that stripped lower for the lulz

The whole zombie thing has officially jumped the shark with this rig.

And to an earlier poster's point about "are we 13?", so much THIS!

Look, I like geeking out like the next man. But this obsession with zombies in conjunction with ARs goes to our current societal dysfunction of grown ass men not wanting to grow the fuck up. And jacklegs like these are cashing in.

Werd.  If I'm spending that kind of cash on a 5.56 , I'm buying a 5.56 OBR and an optic to go on it.

Someone here will purchase one. More power to them. I just get a kick of all these manufacturers claiming they supply arms to Spec Ops commands.

#11 missing should state have a paper bag handy to hide your face when everyone laughs at you.This is one of the stupidest things i have ever seen ! I can't wait untill all this stupid zombie fad is over. I would be embarassed to be seen with something like that and feel like a sucker for spending money on one of those.Who is the marketing genus that came up with this idea?  Is this company some how affiliated with Red Jacket who names ar's after swords seems like this might be a game changer in the zombie wars market
