I just checked out their webpage. I am very suspect of a company that does the following:
-Advertises that "You too can own the same rifle used by CONTRACTORS in IRAQ!"
-Basic model retails for $695.
-Pistol model is built on "Navy SEAL" lower, complete with "Commando" marking.
-Refers to the optic on an "A3 Rifle with Quad Rail" as an Aimpoint, despite the obvious fact that it is a POS Knock-off in a cheapie mount.
-Shows an incorrectly mounted Aimpoint M2 in the optics page.
-Lists more knock-off "optics" than E-Bay.
ETA-
Just watched cleaning video
Problems-
-Uses a Vortex flash suppressor, which they manufacture in-house. Suprising, since Smith Enterprises holds a trademark on the Vortex FH.
-Insistent on removal of copper fouling, but uses Hoppes 9, which takes days to fully remove copper fouling. If it is so important, why isn't he using a real copper solvent like Hoppes Benchrest Copper Solvent?
-Advises use of WD-40 as a cleaner.
-Advises use of CLP as a preservative for chrome bores, despite the dismal performance of CLP as a long-term storage protectant, and the simple fact that the chrome bore isn't going to rust.
-Sees bolts that have fired 1,000 rounds and is amazed that they still fire. Though it is common knowledge that many people and organizations have run their ARs for thousands of rounds without cleaning.
-Seems to believe that a bent rod will damage the chrome lining of a bore, but then says that it is ok to scrape chrome lining with a steel cutter.
-Says that if the gaps in the gas rings are aligned, the weapon will not function.
-Advises replacing gas rings every 1,500 rounds.
-Says that carbon build-up on bolt tail will somehow cause a lost gas seal.
-Lubes inside of gas key.
-Says that headspace is gauged off of the throat.
-Says that the shifting weights in the buffer act as a timing device.
I am less than confident in this individual, and would be just as doubtful of information from someone that would buy that drivel.
