Obviously you don’t know mil-spec when you see it. It’s optimized for use in the southern hemisphere, where left is right and up is down.
And its listed under “guns”. Well, I guess it is just meant for fun…
Wow, I am really surprised this many people have read this and responded to it so quickly. I was kindof under the impression that people were going to say something along the lines of “Shane, I know you are new and all, but don’t post long posts” or “Who cares?” or something like that.
I am still trying to decide for myself if the typos on the webpage are genuine typos or if they are designed a little more covertly, perhaps to be able to tell people that they never said the rifle had a “parkerized” finish and whatnot. But on the other hand, the gentleman that I was talking to in the emails referred to users as “Carbiners” and said “Armor Lite” not to mention they use “Aperature” and “Aperture” on the webpage. Are they really that crooked, or are they trying to sell these rifles for High Standard or Interarms or whoever without ever even having seen them? I mean, perhaps the guys at USA Ammo really don’t know anything about the AR platform and are just selling them. Sortof like what some small companies do when they never have their own stock. They run the storefront website, but all the stock is held at the main distributor and shipped from there. I am not saying that is what USA Ammo is doing, just wondering if something like that could be the case. Either way, the ignorance is humorous.
You posted facts. That is what we like around here… 
I don’t know what to make of their spelling issues, but this, combined with their fairly recent reloading issues (numerous documented KBs, etc) leads me to believe that it is a “Bubba Fudd” operation that hasn’t got a clue about firearms in general…
I appreciate you posting you conversation here. Yet another reminder why buying a product based solely on price is a BAD idea…

I have been trying to get information from USAammo in reference to the 62gr PSP in new Lake City brass they sell for the past two weeks and their customer service has been lacking. Four phone calls and two e-mails with USAammo employees with promises to get right back to me which they never do.
I was trying to make an order with USAammo and need information on the construction of the bullet they use in the 62gr PSP loading.
I have edited this post to add the USAammo has contacted me with information that I requested after they were notified of this post. I now believe that USAammo is a young company trying to enter the Internet market to sell a broad line of inventory and customer service employees are learning the ropes so to say. I will give USAammo a Mulligan (aka A do Over) this time and continue to research their products for possible use.
Shane, I know you are new here but…
This is a low end no-name gun being sold by a company that is either lying, doesn’t have a clue or probably a mix of both. While their claims are funny, I wouldn’t even waste my time with the back and forth you are doing. Anyone who has spent at least an hour of quality time researching the stickies on this site would not even consider that AR.
I do await the release of their AR Operator model next week though:)
only 192 units left! act now 
Another 192 customers will learn things the hard way 
uh oh…when I first looked earlier today it was 193
I have made a couple orders for 9mm in the past (stayed away from the .223 bc of the KBs recently) for a very good price and can honestly say that their CS was very good for me. HOWEVER…after reading this thread, I’m not sure I want to do business with them anymore…makes you wonder…
This pretty much says it all. Why are you even wasting your time with all the “detective work” on a no-name company? 
AR manufacturers are a dime a dozen these days. When I look at old school gun advertisements, though, the stupidity was just as bad then as it is now. IMO there aren’t any more snake oil guns/gun products now than there was sixty years ago. There are companies that make quality rifles, know their stuff and sell them to quality folks and then there are companies that make cheap shit and sell their products to the simple minded masses.
Which is why 3/4th of the AR world is still in business.
Shane,
I cannot stop you from attempting to provide false information to the public. The information to dispute your claims is in the public domain and easily accessible to the masses. I stand firmly behind everything I said in the e-mail string and most importantly, I stand behind the quality of High Standard who has a storied history of providing the finest quality armaments to the DOD and other government entities.
Also, please pardon our graphic arts departments glaring misspellings and descriptive terms. We will correct those this morning.
Have a great day!

I appreciate your enthusiasm of the High Standard product line. I still have to disagree on all the points that we’ve touched on.
By the way, I meant to ask you yesterday if you would like a link to the forum that this is posted on. I’m sure that seeing a more public opinion of the product that you are offering may help future endevours for your company. I guess it is sortof like free market research. If you would like a link, feel free to send me an email back and I will respond with the link.
While he stands by what he said, he failed to provide any empirical proof and facts to support his claims. If High Standard does provide to the DOD, then what do they provide? Springs, screws, and little parts could qualify that statement just as well as receivers, barrels and other larger and more important parts.
If that information is so easily accessible, why couldn’t he copy and paste the URLs, instead of making a blanket and unsupported statement?
They got caught in their marketing scheme that unfortunately works on the uninformed, but when confronted, cannot provide proof in any manner, of any sort.
Are they based in FL? If so, I remember a friend of mine bought 100K of .223, I still have some I use as MG fodder but have to remember to remove the muzzle device (brake or flash suppressor) because the bullets are so badly formed, the rounds couldn’t even leave the barrel without striking the flash suppressor, sometimes pieces would fly out of the barrel, sometimes key holing on a new barrel. I’ll take some pics if this is the same company.
I don’t know what the big deal is guys…why would you need to see anything other than the AR Lite (so light it floats apparently) spinning in midair for 0:56 seconds. That’s all I need to see…sign me up :sarcastic:

Shit. Another 192 new threads in general…“is my rear sight backwards?!”
“hyper”-upgrades!!??!!

To the OP:
It’s a good thing to call these folks out and then inform everybody to their responses, but you’re in a losing battle by default.
Look at all of the YouTube videos with people praising their Olympic, DPMS, Blackthorne, etc. rifle. Look at all of the forum postings - even forums such as this have difficulty sorting through all of the nonsense. Even worse is the fact that the gun industry tolerates this and doesn’t call out other companies on their crap, because they’re more concerned about the ATF than they are about their competitors.
The vast majority of people are ignorant on these issues and, quite frankly, have little interest in learning the truth. Companies such as this one, Olympic, DPMS, etc. prey upon them. It’s just a sad fact of life, and it’s never going to go away.
Shane,
Expert analysis is exactly that. The information to dispel your information is in the public domain and it will be exposed naturally. I am not going to become embroiled in a battle of wit with you.
Have a great day!
