Has anyone heard of Duck Creek Armory and if so how well do there ar15's do i have seen the youtube video of one of the torture.

Duck Creek

My soft drink of choice for lube is Sprite.

Duck Creek Armory is my local shop and they shot that video at my range (LMT uses it too). I don't have any experience with their AR's, but they seem like a good group of guys.

Yep.  They reside in Davenport, IA.    Ive fondled a few of their weapons.  Dont know the quality though.

I saw that gun on display at their store today.

thanks for some of the info i am thinking about selling my dpms oracle and maybe buying one of their's.

I do know they have a lifetime transferable warranty if that means anything to you. It's also veteran owned/operated. Owner is a former Ranger.

Needs a heavier buffer, overgassed mutha

My brother in law ordered one from them...it's seems decent.

Aren't they all?

It does seem to be the case these days.  Not laughing at the fact, before you bastards swarm on me, but this reply is a good one!

Just what we need, another AR Manufacturer, TERRIFIC!!!!!!!!!  

I'll pipe in on Duck Creek Armory's DCA-15s. They are real nice. I know the guys, the shop is a couple blocks from my house. The original DCA rifles were built on a Sun Devil lowers.

When parts were getting hard to come by, they decided they wanted to build their own with quality and a great price. You oughta see what these guys have accomplished in 6 months! After being told it couldn't be done, they bought a used CNC machine, hired a fella with great weapons machining experience and are moving forward. They are now building their own in house billet lowers and they are gorgeous.

The rifle they built me is awesome. They are custom guns built to customer specs as well as some base models. $799 for a base M4 with a billet lower receiver is pretty good I think. Mine has a Ranier stainless 14.5" middy 1:8 .223 Wylde barrel with a permanent FH, Vltor stock, ArmaLite 2-stage trigger and Magpul furniture. I shot a local CMP match with it. I hadn't had time to sight-in before hand, so I took my chances with my 5 sighters. I was shooting to the left (my error), but the guys in the pits told me it was grouping very well.

In defense of the video, this was the first time Joe had ever edited a video, so it definitely wasn't Steven Spielberg quality, but I gotta give him props for learning it all on the fly.

The video of the torture test wasn't meant to show that their ARs are the best in the world, but more what any AR SHOULD be able to stand up to. I gave them crap about the mud on the left side. :) I think part of it was sorta tongue-in-cheek. They probably would have done the "Twinkie" test if there were any available. But as we all know, those are being hoarded and are hard to come by. (Funny thing is, Twinkies were built just a couple blocks from the shop as well. I'm thinking maybe we should have them go into manufacturing those too!)

There is a second video that beats that same rifle up a bunch more.

Its very cool to have these made in my own backyard. Considering we have ArmaLite, Rock River, Superior and Springfield in the area, we might get this gun building thing figured out here? :)

Anyways, these are good guys, they are ex-military, and they love shooting. And don't forget the lifetime warranty. I trust them and recommend them. Give them a chance. Hey, all the good ones had to start somewhere.

Was that not a malfunction at 1:28 ???

He stopped firing... checked the chamber... then just kinda changed mags all nonchalantly and charged it.  When he charged it, it ejected a casing.

**Edit**

Definitely a malfunction at 1:28... I went to youtube so i could go HD-Fullscreen that bitch and yea... at 1:28 he pulled the trigger, got nothing, checked chamber, and then switched out mags and cleared the malfunction.  And then at 2:06 he had to beat the shit out of the FA to close the bolt.  Why did they even post this video

Here is the description:

"This is a video testing the capabilities of our base rifle the "Basic M4" under adverse conditions. We put 500 rounds through it with no weapon failures. Our rifles are manufactured in Davenport, Iowa and all come with a transferable lifetime warranty. For ordering information check out our website duckcreekarmory.com, visit the store, or call 563-265-3780. Please comment ideas for future videos!"

-I'm sure it was the Pmags that were causing problems
-Comments had been disabled for the video haha

Yeah I saw that too! But i also blew it up and took a closer look. I dont think he actually pulled the trigger. Idk... But you cant blame the guy for smashin on his FA. The bolt is dry and covered in dirt. Im not even sure my LMT would run like that nor would i want to run it over! That mag that says "Test only" looks like one of those Chinese garbage RWB mags. I picked one up at Gander a couple months ago and it was so tight fitting that i needed to hand sand down the corners.

This video is cool, but could definitely benefit from better editing. Although would you want to watch an hour and a half video of him burning every round? Yawn....

I cringed watching their 2nd video!

IDK... it definitely looks like he did... and then he chamber checked

The second vid definitely was much harsher
