    I have had quite a bit of experience with their rifles and their staff (Scott & Chris are great!)... The rifles perform great and are very comfortable to shoot and ACCURATE! Really could care less about how their website looks... There are lots of products in the gun world that are fantastic, but are backed with bad looking websites, or on some occasions, no website at all...

    In for the copyright infringement of using the Joker likeness as a promotional material for their ARs. :D

    Soooo.... The Game Stopper.... $1400 will get me a rifle with a very custom machined lower, but the rest of the parts are a grab bag from various parts catalogs? UTG sights, stocks and grips, $100 bolt carrier groups (nickle boron), unknown barrels (melonite, okay, I can pick up a REALLY accurate one from Ballistic Advantage for about $200 with gas block), vanilla upper receivers, a $90 Witt Machine muzzle brake, a $120 Rise trigger group, probably about $40 worth of small parts... so on... Unless there is a serious accuracy claim that can be proven over a home build, other than a funky lower, I can't see these going far...

    The "Sinner"... Lots of UTG again... unknown stainless barrel... What makes it $1400?

    I will admit though... I like the lower pictorals for the selector switch...

    So you do care some, but could you care more?

    Yeah, it's like saying "Candyman" in a mirror, misuse the phrase, and I show up with the video.

    I didn't want to totally beat them down so I didn't mention it, but yeah, how long before the cease and desist letter shows up?

    And how can you apply the term "awesome" to anything that has UTG parts? :dunno:



    Personally, "The Joker" reminds me of all those kids that I see playing GTA V online that just have to make their character look exactly like the The Joker or Harley Quinn. I go out of my way to hunt and kill them.

    :rockwoot::rockwoot::rockwoot: This is one of my pet peeves. People either don't know or care what they say. Their reply is "Uh, you know what I meant.". No, not really. I only know what you said or typed.

    (On a side note as a larger person I have fun at some restaurants when the host or hostess says "Sorry for your wait." The key word is wait. I look them in the eye and ask them if they are calling me fat. Wait versus weight. I've had younger women all but spit out their gum apologizing. Some days my wife really hates me!)

    When I showed my son my ar, he grabbed it by the magwell. he said that was how they taught him when he was in the Army. I could not enlist, so I cant offer any explanation for the change in teaching. I personally would have a hard time spending that kind of money for a rifle, but to each their own.

    There are many MOS's in the Army...

    Yeah I can't see shelling out that kind of money for their product. And just for the record. I don't consider ALL UTG parts to be junk. I've used a couple of UTG Pro hand rails and have been satisfied with both of them.

    I posted that video yesterday, then went to a business meeting where someone told me to "hold down the fort" and then within a minute of each other, two others said, "I could care less."

    :ugh:

    I didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

    I'd like to see them start producing silencers once the hearing protection act becomes law. It's be nice to have a local outfit that could make a gun muffler inexpensively.

    All we can do is laugh because we're tired of crying.

    Might have to teach them about that part of it first.

    I got a feeling that a lot of guys are going to start producing some very inexpensive and simple design options if the hearing protection act becomes law. Heck there's a guy selling Maglite "solvent kits" online for under $200 now. I think there'd be enough demand for supressors if the law passes that the current suppliers won't be able to keep up with production.

    That's something I alluded to in another thread, those currently are only a $100 or so option (before tax stamp) if they do a good job I'm sure they'll have a ton of business soon.

    I can't see how anyone think building a business on $1500 'custom' AR's is going to go over well when the AR market in general seems flooded

    When major manufacturers are scrambling to put out a budget friendly, sub $700 real world product people need to take note of the trend. There is nothing custom about someone sourcing parts and assembling them.
