New member and new AR

[Iraqgunz]

Windham is garbage- plain and simple. In the armorer class I did in Houston we had a guy with a new WW carbine that wouldn't function properly since he bought it. When we checked the lower receiver extension it had what appeared to be an AR-10 extension on it with a carbine spring and buffer.

The BCG was still the same old semi-auto type, with a 1/9 barrel. No idea if they are still making oversized gas ports, but I wouldn't be surprised.

I don't see how you could have done any research and come to the conclusion that you reached, but all too often it appears this is the case more and more.

Thanks for the warm welcome guys. I made sure to read as many stickys to learn as much as possible and then searched on a few models prior to making the purchase.
Delta' - I'm not sure how to read your post... Did I make a poor purchase? The windam had most of the bells and whistles listed in the sticky and it didn't have many negative posts. For the price point, I think I made a good choice.

800. Hopefully I got a good one - only time will tell.

Welcome to the forum! The AR you chose is kind of a low end one. What is done is done. Most all cheap AR's are over gassed. So I would put an H2 buffer in it and drive on.

Sh!t happens. Read this thread and decide what you want to do. Personally, I'd sell it and buy a Colt.

ARs are fun to shoot,,, Go shoot it!!! I had to add the real problem with ARs is you can't own just one.
