What can you tell me about their customer service? Is there any real difference between their rifles and the ones GA Precision builds with Seekins parts?
Is the accuracy the same on both? Thank You |

Seekins is Top Notch! No issues with dealing with them. I have had a SP15 for many years and it's a great rifle. Seekins makes some really nice rifles.
As for the comparison between them and GAP, you will be happy with either rifle. GAP will be more of a custom shop where you can order things the way you want it specifically if you want things Seekins doesn't offer but having had ARs from both I don;t think you will be unhappy with either company. |

A shooting buddy bought a used SP10 and replaced the keymod handgaurd with a seekins mlok from GA. In the process he missed removing a couple small set screws and mangled his receiver threads.
He sent it back to them for repair and they replaced the barrel nut and upper receiver and called him to ask how it shot and if he wanted the barrel replaced. They did all this at no charge. |

Seekins CS is as good as any in the industry.
GA is simply a “customized” rifle using Seekins upper, lower and handguard. |

I do not believe that GA Precision is having all the issues that Seekins is having with their 6.5CM SP10's. I also believe that GA Precision has NEVER had to offer coupons and deep discounts to get people to buy their products. |

GAP turns their own barrels for the GAP-10. The GAP-10s I've seen have used Bartlien blanks.
Not sure what blanks Seekins uses or who turns their barrels. Not Bartlien. |

I also believe that GA Precision has NEVER had to offer coupons and deep discounts to get people to buy their products. GAP is primarily a custom rifle shop. Even their “production” rifles are essentially a custom rifle, but has a defined spec. I’m curious what issue Seekins is having that you are alluding to. Not being able to produce enough rifles for demand is about the only thing I’ve heard. I’ve even been trying to find one of their SP-10 builder kits for almost 14months. |

The 6.5CM do not function properly with the gas system. The length of the gas tube is too short from what I understand. I saw a picture of one that was fixed by Seekins. The handguard is to short and the gas block is exposed.

I had my SP10 back to me in about 10 days after I sent it in due to factory ammo blowing primers. They fixed the issue, and didn’t even question, or try to work around the problem. It was an immediate fix on their part and I couldn’t be happier.
They might have a few QC/QA issues, but if you are unlucky enough to receive something that is out of spec they are eager to correct the situation. They have a strong name for a reason, and they protect the reputation |
