    "Unbranded AR"

    Anybody know anything about them?

    Seem new to the retail scene, sources say they're affiliated with a company that makes OEM parts for certain manufacturers, and this is the retail outlet.

    Prices too good to be true? Any knowledge/experience with these guys from anyone?

    They are a sponsor on TOS. There was a thread about some suspect lower parts kits I remember. Some people report their stuff is ok but I don't know why someone would risk it with all the known quality options for not much more

    I would say PSA level or lower work no track record. At least if you get something from PSA and it isn't right, they will take care if it. Not sure how unbranded operates.

    These type of threads keep popping up. Why not stick with what has already been vetted?

    If your shopping for price and don’t care of quality, well, that has been covered to death here as well. DPMS/PSA/Bushmaster.

    These pop up companies are more often then not hawking Chinese garbage they got from alibaba.

    Or come back with a review. I'M not buying one, and unless a review from some of our SME's comes back, that tells me they're 10x better than Knights Armament, at one tenth the price... than I doubt there'll be any great rush for them from this board.

    I bought their basic mil-spec LPK, a pins kit, and a springs kit, marked down pretty cheap for Black Friday to add to my spares and oops pile. Haven't done anything with them other than add them to said pile, and look at them a bit in the process. So I got nothin', but, they shipped what they said they would, quickly, and everything was there, so, there's that

    I agree on going with a company that has earned a good reputation. Its worth saying that dpms and bushmaster appear to be dead.

    These guys are a machine shop, I thought they were making 80% lowers for some places. Not sure how much of the rest they are making in house. Machine shop is zrodelta.

    IF, and that is a big IF, the machine shop is ZRODELTA, they should be good to go. These are the guys who bought Warsport IIRC, as well as do a large amount of machine work both for themselves and others.

    They appear to be, Stick. The Unbranded website says "Copyright ZRODELTA" at the bottom and phone numbers are same.

    I’ve ordered a few parts from them; a lpk with the elg trigger, a couple of buffer tube kits and a 2 rails.

    The lpk went together in an aero lower fine. The elg trigger was very nice for a mil spec style trigger.

    The buffer tubes are advertised as 7075 and made in the USA, again went together on the aero lower fine. Installed one rail on a pistol, seems pretty decent, no movement or flex, but I haven’t “run it hard”, just a few hundred rounds at the range and a few drops onto concrete floor from the safe.

    Far as I know they are the retail branch of critical capabilities and produce many of their components in NC
