    WTF? American Spirit Arms

    I recently ordered a A2 upper receiver with M4 feed ramps from American Spirit Arms.

    This is what I ordered:*http://www.americanspiritarms.com/up...pper-receiver/

    Today I received a RRA a2 upper with no feed ramps? Needless to say I'm not happy.

    Does anyone have any experience purchasing from this company? This kind of derailed my A2 build. Any suggestions on a barrel? I was trying to do a Colt 7xx /6xx clone build

    Seem to remember them being pretty reviled. Also the page you linked is dead.
    Tell my tale to those who ask. Tell it truly; the ill deeds along with the good, and let me be judged accordingly.

    I'm guessing this is it? Strangely enough they confirmed to me in an email, they were indeed correct. ASA is local to me and I have seen their handywork....

    William,
    They do have M4 feed ramps. They do not feature any markings other than the forging mark. At this time the A2 uppers are on back order. Please feel free to contact us if you have any further questions.

    I got a similar email. I just can't figure out why the hell they'd send me a Rock River Arms upper?

    I can. They don't make the uppers. They purchase them from RRA and the person answering emails/phones do not actually know their own products. This is pretty common place.

    In years past they generally were thought of as purveyors of low end parts............YMMV. With the cost of parts where they are now those companies have to be hurting.

    So why would they advertise a product they don't have?

    They did have them and you got one, unless I missed something. But, you got the wrong item most likely because ASA doesn't know it's own products.

    I ordered off their website an American Spirit Arms A2 upper with M4 feed ramps. Instead I got a Rock River Arms A2 upper with no M4 feed ramps
