    How about Wilson Combat?

    Curious about what everyone thinks about Wilson Tac rifles? Does Stag make the lowers?

    What would you suggest for $1000? M4 style. Nothing too fancy.

    A 4140, non chrome lined, 1:9 twist RRA midlength and a bunch of practice ammo with the left over money.

    Why do you recommend non chrome lined?

    I think he's comparing the 4140 non-chromelined barrel of the RRA to that of the Wilson Combat because you can get the same "features" for less money with the RRA.

    I attended a class last November with Super Dave Harrington and he ran a Wilson Combat for his personal weapon. He did seem bothered by the lack of chrome-lining, 1:9 twist, lack of M4 feedramps, lack of bayo lug, etc.

    The guy can flat out shoot even without all the cool stuff. Go figure.

    My local Gun Shop ...sez ...

    Is a Wilson dealer and he always has a couple
    of UT's or M4t's in the window and I was fondling one before
    2001 and it had a RRA lower on it ? And for a couple years
    after it seemed the Ut's or M4t's he stocked all had RRA lowers ?
    Thats how I ran across RRA I didn't know from AR's except about Colts,BM's.
    But he told me that there are only a few foundries
    around the country which cast AR15 lower receivers -
    so wouldn't that substaniate Doublestars claim that
    "All AR's are parts guns with a few negative exceptions."
    If such is true wouldn't that indicate that every AR15 lower
    regardless of manufacturer could have a possibility of being
    cast at the same foundry used by company 'C' or 'W' last month/year?
    - FLAME AWAY its just a question I've always had and since
    matgyver opened the can of worms we'll see if it can be answered.

    Most AR15 receivers are made by LMT or CMT. They are forged, not cast.
