    BRO is pretty cheesy. Just one step above the rifle with a set truck nuts.
    For $2k, I'd pick a KAC MOD 1 all damn day. Those are some of the best ARs I've ever shot overall.

    Some of the BRO rifles look pretty ridiculous lol. It's a rifle, not a damn piece of art.

    Why doesn't Black Rain have an ALL GOLD model with a few large diamonds tactically located?

Im half surprised it doesn't have a sculpted trigger finger rest for all the selfies and photo ops your sure to find yourself in as the owner of a BRO rifle. I couldnt find a single technical spec anywhere on the site.
    Bingo.

    Something tells me this brand is popular amongst the white framed sunglasses/Afflection t-shirt wearing crowd.

    Edit to add: just look at their in house RIS, not even to spec.

    I got some Black Rain .308 lowers coming my way. Purchased because I wanted to get a few in case the CA ban went through (it didn't). Only got them because I couldn't find any Mega sets. But we'll see. Collecting parts to do at least one assembly (I don't call putting together AR's "building"). Hopefully they won't suck. Will share my experience when I get it all in hand.

    Not really into them as a whole but did pick up a BRO stripped billet lower. Got a really good deal for it at my LGS and it's nice but not worth what people are really paying for them. JMHO.

    I have to disagree that KACs are the Ferraris of the AR world; I've heard from several places that Ferraris are underpowered and they cherry pick cars for the mag reviews.

    KAC is the NissanGTR/ 911 Cayman of the AR world: those who really want performance and really understand ARs buy them.

    BRO is just charging for 'bling' on something that doesn't ever need that level of 'bling'.

    Ferrari's have the spontaneous combustion issue too. However, the GTR is a lot of show with out the performance and longevity of the performance. (pesky transfer cases)... That and if you use launch control your warranty is voided. At least with KAC, you can do what ever you want to it and know it will keep coming back for more.
    Not sure about you guys, but I'm only here for the free food and open bar.

    During the last panic I sold a used BRO rifle that I had taken in on trade. I sold it for enough to keep $200 in my pocket and buy a new KAC SR15...they are not even in the same ballpark.

    It, I guess I picked a poor comparison. What I meant is that KAC is hotness because they are ironclad reliable and also look badass as a secondary feature, mostly because they have their own look. Maybe an Aston Martin or Maserati would be a better comparison.

    BRO are just bling posers. The only people I've personally witnessed purchase one was a guy in fancy ripped jeans wearing an MMA shirt and driving a Mercedes bought a black and silver BRO just after Sandy Hook (he had ordered it before) >_<.

    Just because you're necessary doesn't mean you're important.
