    The response below from Aero. I asked them if the bolts were individually tested or batch tested, if they were branded, who actually manufactures them, and any other relevant information they could provide...
    "Individually tested. They are not branded. They are made for us by the company who produces them for the M16 contract."

    While I'm totally against price gouging what AP did and CTD were totally different. Had the assault weapins ban gone through CTD wouldnt have been out of business as they sell a lot of other stuff. They were simply gouging the hell out of everyone. AP wouldve been out of business had the ban gone through, they were simply trying to make max profit before their business was banned. All you high mighty people wouldve done the same damn thing. If your business was about to be banned youd want as much money in your pocket as you could too.

    With that said they brought their prices right back down after the legislation failed. Try to think about things more objectively rather than being an emotional woman about it.

    I like their receivers, and scope mounts, I'm sure this bcg will be nice as well. Theyre not known for putting out crap products.

    You do realize many companies DIDN'T price gouge, so what you said is non applicable. Almost all mfg's didn't start gouging during the panic. They were also fulfilling back orders the best the could. (LMT was working insanely hard at fulfilling back orders before they would sell direct). BCM never changed a price, neither did Seekins or Noveske. AP was one of the few companies along with their sole Distributor SAA to go buko crazy. On top of that, at the time they were releasing a bunch of non consistent parts. But anyways this if off task.

    Glad to hear the news about individual testing. I'm guessing they are just going over the companies prints rather than their own to keep cost down.
    From TOS ... "buy the shit out of that thing, all the mil spec is just nonsense."

    The raised prices weren't the issue. The issue was with dishonesty to their customers, both contractual and individual. Charge whatever you want, that's business. But if you sell (aka contractually promise) product to your distributors and offer a product at a specific price to individuals then don't go back and renege on open orders and take that same promised product to individuals where you up the sell price between "submit order" and "charge order." CTD might have gouged like a mofo but Aero was completely dishonest and deceitful. It was a complete amateur hour on their part. It's all personal preference in whether you choose to overlook that or not.

    Having received an "Aero Precision" lower parts kit in the mail yesterday, I'm on the fence about the quality now.

    While a minor inconvenience, if a company cannot be honest about their product, they don't deserve my money. While I'm sure it's an alright LPK, I was under the impression I was purchasing an AP LPK, but instead received a DPMS kit. Had I known, I would have ordered the kit from BCM and receive it next day (or 2nd business day) rather than the week wait.

    This is disappointing to me a long with their reply "They are made for us by the company who produces them for the M16 contract."
    To me, it would be nice (I understand it is not common), for a company to be up front and state who made their goods, and there shouldn't be an issue telling an inquiring potential customer when asked.

    This wouldn't keep me up at night. It happens a lot more in the carbine business than you would think. For the longest time PSA premium barrels had no manufacturer tied to them, and it was only alluded to that they came from FN.

    Probably the best kept secret in this industry... How few people are making these parts! GH

They said they went up in price to curb the price gouging that people were causing by flipping them, so they themselves raised their price, and never went back to the original like many other companies did when it settled down.

    Don't get me wrong, I like BCM, but there are basically 0 companies in the industry who didn't capitalize on the panic and make out like bandits from it. Some are just more egregious than others.
