Home Forums Hunting & Shooting AR and Tactical Rifles Geissele Rifles/pistols

Local-ish shop sent me an advertisement that they got in complete Geissele rifles. They seem to have a nice rail, trigger, and charge handle. What do you guys think?

Spendy.....

I read this a while ago when I was looking at different AR's, including Geissele. Their Black Friday pricing was probably fair (still people waiting for their rifles to ship). $1.900.00 - $2,150.00 is ridiculous, in my opinion.

Just put one of their. Triggers in my Tavor.
Spendy, but made it a different rifle.

Too much money for me in an AR. I have some nice reliable home brews for half of what one of them cost.

For $850 they'd be okay but not for the civilian prices.

The same can be said about other manufacturers triggers

I bought an upper and a friend bought a complete rifle on the Black Friday sale. They’re fine. The complete rifle has a magnified optic on it and is pretty accurate.

Not even really close to the same gun.................lots of different (expensive) parts in the civilian model at the $1,750 price.

Theres nothing special about that gun. Id be changing out a lot of parts right off the bat. Cheap grip, stock, no ambi controls, cheap flash hider. Nothing special

Different trigger, BCG and rail but the heart of the guns are the same. Nothing on there adds up to $1000 difference. Now they claimed they were giving LE a price break or they would've been $1500 guns.

If they have another Black Friday sale like they did last year they're a great bargain. I got a complete upper for less than $500.

The thing that's special about them is that they're made by Geissele. So some of what you're paying for is the name. But you're also paying for what comes with that name, which is high quality parts and attention to detail in assembly. I wouldn't pay full price for one, but if Biden is elected people will be paying that much for trash parts. So there's worse ways to spend your money.

Well, not to belabor the point, but yeah, there's close to $900 difference in the different parts, including the charging handle, muzzle device, trigger, rail, BCG, grip, ambi-safety...............the rail on the civilian version is a $325 item alone.

Can't tell if there are any difference in the barrel itself or not.

Doesn't really matter, still an expensive gun w/o a high end barrel, relatively speaking................but a similar KAC will run you $2,200; a BCM around $14-1,500.

If I build a high end gun with comparable parts & a good SS barrel, I'll have $1600 in parts; I've done enough of them to be certain in that number, depending on what upper & lower I use................the uppers & lowers used on the Geiselle stuff is pretty basic mil-spec.

I saw a review on youtube, and the barrel on the super duty was a chrome lined LMT barrel.

That just makes it a good, durable barrel with banging accuracy, not a precision barrel; nothing wrong with that, just what it is.
