Did not find anything with the search function. Heard about these awhile ago and wondered if anyone had any experience with them. They are out of my price range, but pretty cool.

Here is an interesting little read.

Their $119 30 round magazine looks really awesome.

That's only what? 8 pmags? What a deal!

Yea!!! Put me down for 5. Much better than spending that money on useless accessories like ammo

If you like that, you'll love their 1088$ titanium stripped lower. 10x the cost of milspec and weighs more as an added bonus!

Maybe you should look into this one. Add some red colored furniture and have yourself a real patriotic beauty. ;)

Those prices are ridiculous 120.00 for a mag that will not fit in 95% of the mag pouches out there.... Much less if it actually works in the rifle

Yeah, they appear to take customization to a new level and cost. It's not for me, but their rifles are kinda cool and the little article i attached referencing an AR with a 1/12 twist rate is interesting.

their billet sets don't look outrageous. just as pricey as everyone else's.

I'm digging their "Elite AR-15 Rifle." You know. The one that's nearly $3000 and made to the standard that surgical tools and implants are made to (I shit you not their website says this). Forget about the TDP, nobody needs that standard.

Yep, $2795 for said "Elite Rifle". The "Elite Rifle" page does indeed say the following, "the Elite Rifle is built to the exacting specifications that the medical industry requres for surgical parts and implants."

I can't wrap my head around all these "boutique" AR-15's that everybody is pumping out now for upwards of $2k. I'll just be over here with my "You're just paying for the name" Colt and happy to still have $2k left over to use how I see fit.

And now looking at their website because of this, I noticed their $119 billet aluminum magazine. I don't even know what is going on anymore.

Is this the same company that had a thread not to long ago about billet magazines or magazine extensions? Maybe I'm wrong, either way looks like over priced nonsense.

I heard of them yesterday, about 3:30 as I passed their show trailer on the interstate. Looked them up when I stopped for Taco Bell. Saw the hundred dollar magazine. Stepped back in the truck and drove away saddened and confused.

yay an overpriced billet mag! It fastens with screws so bring the loctite!

I could buy 6 of those or 100 GI mags from BCM...

"This magazine has literally stopped people in their tracks from across a gun store showroom floor, and brought them over asking questions."

Literally. Like it jumped out of the display case and dragged their a** over to a salesman. Frankly, if that happened to me I'd have a lot of questions too.
