Does anyone have experience with this company/rifle? Saw one in a local gun shop, it was decked out in Magpul furniture. Nice handguard, foregrip, collapsible stock. It was going for $699, gonna stew over it for a few days and wanted to hear from aanyone that knows anything about them.

There is absolutely no reason in creation to pay $699 for an off brand parts gun. The model on their website has absolutely no redeeming features to set it apart from any other AR in a market flooded with similarly substandard models.
Pass.

I'm interested in opinions too. I saw one earlier this year at a gun shop in college station. I was about to buy it but ended up getting a shotgun. It was a nice looking rifle and like the op said it was loaded with magpul stuff. My question is what sets a $700.00 bushmaster or dpms apart from this rifle at the same price.

What barrel do they use? Is it a 1 turn in 9 inches? I think I want a one turn in 7 or 8 inches? Somebody said the chamber is important, a wild I think?

Of course one would only buy a colt if they thought they were going to resell.
But 800 buck colt means off brand stuff should be 400-500 bucks or so...

Especially when they are on sale at WMT for $700 with a Pelican case.
