Wow.. was trying to post in earlier thread.. which appeared to have derailed fast due to multiple parties and the 2d medium of communication.
Let me firstly state I have no monetary or other stake in Chattahoochee Gun Works.
Secondly, I have previously met the owner (an ARSOF veteran) a few times and came away with an impression of a good guy with integrity. He certainly is a gas-gun aficionado and we discussed much about smallarms, outside of the military activities in which we were involved. It's neat to see he started what he talked about doing.
In the snapshot of perusing that webpage, it's clear quality components were sourced. Not some of the ridiculously shady "milspec" BS, we've all seen/heard at gunshows.
And for you bandwagon bandits.. HPT/MPI.. mindless regurgitation types.. great. If you don't know what your looking for, what Q's to ask, or lack of confidence in the manufacturer, are entry level individual into getting an AR.. by all means require the baseline proofs the mil does to ensure their rifles won't blow up on the 1st trigger pull. Your ensuring you don't get an utter POS, not that your getting the best performance or life.
For example, Conventional Army requires HPT/MPI on the KAC M110 bolts, which only last about 4-5K. SOCOM, realizing the destructive nature of the HPT "stress test", and that QUALITY modern manufacturing methods do not require proof methods devised hundreds of yrs ago.. does not have this test on their MK11/M110KA1 variants.. and the bolts last 10-11K.. at least. By that time you just change barrel and bolt.
New businesses are tough. Figuring out how to communicate for a broad and fickle audience on the www has got to be a pain. I would not immediately discount this start up as ill-intentioned shady douches. From my perspective, an enthusiast giving his dream business a whirl.
