Anyone have experience with this rifle?I’ve heard some rumors that this rifle is currently being used by SOCOM units.On their facebook page they also post some pics showing their rifles are carried by SOF guys in combat.Cool rifle indeed.But I didn’t get much information about the rifle on Google,any insight would be appreciated!
There was a thread posted on this rifle a year or so ago and it turned into a disaster. I like the rifle personally but I don’t know if I would buy one.
It looks like they specced out a billet upper, lower, and SLR to make them a rail. They then threw some off the shelf decent parts to make a bullet point list. Looks like some pretty talented machine work going on in that shop, at least to a non-machinest like me (I’m easy to impress with things like that.) However the sandbox pics I saw looked like standard issue rifles not theirs. Although I only scrolled through a few pages.
I went to one of their demo shoots a while back. The owners are recently retired SF. I was very impressed with the rifle but I doubt Id spend the money to buy one. To me its poised to compete with the Larue PredatAR, OBR, etc… and just like those I dont see myself spending the money. Ill see if I can find my short demo review.
Some dudes from your old unit getting your guns does not equate to USSOCOM buying them through a vetted process.
How many Navy SEAL knives are there?
Thanks for clarification.So I think it’s just a kind of marketing strategy .“hey,the guy in sandbox have one ,it’s battle proven!so I want one too”. LOL
So,maybe the rifle is too expensive for what it is.
I just did a basic build on their website and it came out to just under 2100 bucks. It is a really nice rifle but truthfully if I were to spend 2k on a rifle Id go with a KAC SR15.
As I’ve posted in the original thread, the rifle looks stellar, but if their communication process is anything like their rifle building, no thanks.
You’re not the first person I’ve heard that from. Dissapointing as the rifles are very nice and I could see them becoming a big name.
Not a new approach to marketing at all but anyway, i have seen a few reviews from people who have purchased these rifles and they seem well built, specced and accurate. I would never buy one but I am just one customer among millions
After speaking with the customer service rep at Arsenal Democracy last march I was told that they dramatically expanded their capacity and that all orders were shipping in 12 weeks. Wanting to support a veteran owned business I ordered a rifle and paid.
In June all communications stopped. Nothing. I ended up getting my money refunded via the bank/credit card company.
Last week, David, one of the original founders, contacted me. He informed that the CEO, disappeared and that the company was left in a shambles. He assured me that the board got together and all orders would be filled and communication would resume at normal levels. This has since been posted on their facebook page. It appears that the CEO, will be prosecuted.
So if any of you are waiting for rifles… It looks like things will come together and you will be able to get your money back or your rifle.
Wow. Who was the CEO?
He was a know quantity in SF in his (involuntarily) short time there. I am suspect of anyone who entered into business with him knowing his past whatever their sob story may be.
With all the great, affordable, available rifles out there, is it really worth it for some gaudily stylized parts gun from a company that has a horrible track record?
^^ that.
Many years ago M4Guru helped cure me of that.
I wish I had known. I liked the rifle and it seemed to be accurate and well done. I like machinery and was hoping for somthing special.
Kind of foolish to build up a business, get a bunch of orders and run away with the money. They could have built up a substantial enterprise…
Public information: The CEO was James Pechi.
edit…nm =\
Hahaha.
That’s hilarious.
