not same building but same town still..

must be something about Berryville Arkansas.
the bad boyz mowers someone from them split off and started Spartan mowers and there's a certain site beside they make and I can't recall the name of it at the moment.

That’s my understanding, too.
Both build super nice 1911’s, but their pricing has gone off the charts!

For the best bang for the $$$$$, though, I still don’t think you can beat a Les Baer Custom 1911 for reliability and accuracy, even though they might not be as nicely finished or fancy.
I also owned of the earlier Les Baer AR’s. It’s one of the most accurate rifles I’ve ever owned, bar none.

It would consistently put the first 4 rounds in one ragged hole at 100 yards, than I’d usually mess up and “pull” the 5th shot. 😬
Agree on Les Baer. They make super accurate pistols. Seems to me Nighthawk and Wilson put more finish into their guns, thus they’re more expensive. Les makes them as accurate, in fact don’t think you’ll beat Baer for accuracy.

Nighthawk is a Wilson spin off company. Mark Stone seems the main one. They bought Cooper after Bill Wilson bought NULA. He also bought Lehigh bullet co, moved it from Utah to his East Texas ranch.

Interesting bunch. Looks like they’re both succeeding.
