Never heard of 'em; they give next to no meaningful information on the components they use, how they build them or what their company's about; they charge premium prices without an indication that it's earned; their acronym is "BRO", which they call their rifles.

Pass.

There's just too many known quantities putting out top-tier products for similar or better prices to roll the dice on an unknown who doesn't explicate what they're building with and why.

Welcome To M4C.

For the price of the gun in the link you provided, you can get much nicer and much more reputable brand guns elsewhere.

First start and recommendation will usually be a Colt 6920--this is the closest thing to what the US military uses and they have been in the game the longest. There are others that cost less, but firearms are one area in life where you get what you pay for.

Another quanlity maker is Bravo a Company (BCM). Very well made and they use top quality components, not junk.

There are others but they will cost more than $1000, they are Knights Armament, LMT, Daniel Defense, Sionics, Noveske. This is just a dipping of a toe into the ocean of ARs but I hope it helps.

Overpriced for what they are.
