| Have you guys ever heard of a ar-15 parts seller named "Schurlunk" or something similiar. Possibly out of Arizona.... |

Sherluk is OK in my book. I usually get small parts from them as they are usually the only game in town when it comes to getting small AR parts at gunshows. However, you really need to know your stuff when you buy parts from them. I've seen them try to pass off cast parts as forged parts and bolt carriers that didn't have the gas key screws staked on. Just know what you are getting and you won't get burned. |
| I remember the guy, Shurluk. He used to sell Sendra lower receivers exclusively many years ago. I bought one from him. What a poorly machined piece of junk it turned out to be! I actually sold it back to him years later. He still does many gun shows in Michigan. |
Well, perhaps I should be more specific. Several shows ago Sherluk had a couple used 20" FN 1/7 barrels attached to A2 uppers with similar signs of abuse. I assumed, perhaps incorrectly that the uppers were indeed FN like the barrels clearly were. In theory I guess they could have been of any manufacture... There is no doubt that the barrels were FN. It is completly agreed that most of their stuff is not top of the line. They do have Colt 14.5 M4 uppers from time to time. |
| I bought a Sherluk upper one time to put on an old (then) pre ban Essential Arms lower. I didn't know any better at the time, but the upper had a cast FSB. That has become my biggest AR pet peeve...I'm not sure if all their uppers have cast FSB's, or if they have changed or what not, but for the same price at the time I could have gotten a J&T kit which most would consider much better. |
| I called Wilson Arms to inquire about buying a barrel since the "big boys" are so far behind. The woman on the phone told me they do not sell to the public to avoid compoeting with their dealers. She volunteered to give me a few dealer names. First was RRA. I asked for someone who might actually have a barrel in stock. She said to try SHERLUK. I am not aware that Wilson Arms barrels are cheap stuff. |

At the shows, I buy my small parts from Garrison Mfg Inc. Good prices and no BS. Garrison Mfg Inc. |
