I personally own a YHM Spectre carbine. I've had it for almost 2 yrs now and its never given me trouble. The ONLY thing about it I wish they'd looked into when designing this weapon was weight savings.

It's a bit of a boat anchor compared to other weapons in it's price bracket.

I used a Yankee Hill railed forearm (don't remember the model) but it was heavy too.

they have been an o.e.m. mfg to all the largest companies for years in this business. lately they have started going to shot show and selling with more emphasis on dealers. the gen mgr, is 1 of the most knowledgeable people in this business but very low profile. good man.

the gear is good and i see a lot of it (but not on Grants site, from courtesy) if i listed the mfg who buy form them it would floor you. have little or no returns. sold. good price. nice people.
much better to deal with than some of the "hi speed mfg" in this business, who are ass hole vendors, cause their gear is hot now.

get a bad rap form the gun bunnies on wannabe gun boards through ignorance. good solid gear.

I am not a fan of their stuff for several reasons. Some of the sights they make are pure junk. Their rail system isn't that great either. I am especially not fond of the way that rail mounts to the barrel nut and that "locking band" or whatever the hell it is.

I know the ones that we had which was a Bushamster/ YHM package deal had no anti-rotation screws. They were also a PITA to take apart when necessary. For the cost I would probably look at MI or Daniel Defense.

JJW,

I am not going to defend IG. He can do that himself but please give a little bit more respect to the moderators on here. This just seems to be happening too often lately.

No. It's called my former employer purchased 500 of them based on bad information and an immediate need for them. I had nothing to do with it and only had to deal with the consequences.

Someone asked about YHM and I expressed my thoughts and experience. Nothing more or less.
