I.O. ar15

So I know I.O. AKs are junk but what about their ARs? No intentions of buying one, just curious.

Alot of it depends on where they're sourcing the critical parts. Such as barrel, BCG, lpk, etc. Are they having someone turning their barrel blanks by IO's specs? What kind of material is the bolt made of? And testing and/or MPI? I think most boneheads can put together an AR, but it's the quality of the parts that makes it or breaks it. Generally the devil is in the details

 

[warriorbob]

Yeah, checking out their website and they don't have any specs except for 1:8 twist.

IF they'll put out a **** AK then they'll put out a **** AR. Just my nickel's worth.

As stated above! If they can't make an AK run, how will they make a "finicky" AR run?

My theory as well I'll let other people's wallet be the test subject

Kinda like a company that can't make a reliable revolver trying to make a precision semiauto.

If a company is known to intentionally sell a product with the lowest cost parts they can find and even after they have been notified of crap parts still continue to use them on one type of gun, and use bad assembly processes,
then I wouldn't trust ANYTHING made by them.

They're good to go.... Straight to the scrap pile along with their aks.

Why risk it? They have worked very hard at having the worse reputation in the industry, and their is plenty of competition that is inevitably better.

Because, cheaper! I can save money, then, when it doesn't work, I can come on INGO and get it virtually fixed!
