I was aware of the whole soap opera, just wondered if everyone else was privvy to it. The dots connected for me when I lived in Northern IL and saw how 'far' apart the different companies were located. Maybe they should consolidate their efforts and become at least one half-decent business. I only had the misfortune of trying to deal with them at a couple gun shows. |

Not only have I been pleased with their cataloged items. When I ask about haveing them do a 7.62X39 Dissipator upper for me they were more than happy to do it. ANd the price was right inline with what a standard dizzy would have cost over a standard 16in CAR upper $35.00. I've been real pleased with them.

So far I've assembled two M1S kits on RRA lowers.
One kit was perfect. The other included a slightly oversized selector detent. Both RRA lowers had slightly short holes for the pivot pin detents. I don't think this is a big deal. I expect to do a little fitting when assembling a rifle from parts. The quality of the parts seems good. Both rifles shoot well. From what I've heard, it sounds like a few people have had real trouble with M1S. This is unfortunate. On the other hand, a number of the compaints I've heard seem to come from people who are impatient and expect more than they have reason to. Some people say you get what you pay for. I haven't found that to always be the case, but I do know that you never get more. |

Two Model 1 kits here... both work well except for a weak ejector spring on one. Good prices & good products.

I've only got 200 rounds through my 16" CAR upper but no probs yet. They did screw up my order. I paid $10 extra for an A2 buttstock instead of the collapsible CAR stock, but they sent the CAR stock. I emailed them about it and they said to send it back. I did and they sent me a new A2 stock, buffer, buffer spring within a week or 10 days. I can't remember if they reimbursed me for the return shipping or not, but it was $4.55 so I don't care.

I got the unlined one - the cheapest kit I could get - but I also religously clean mine every chance I get - I used to be a Armorer in the USArmy - did some work with friends I had at third shop also - but swore off M-16 weapons after I got out.
I am pleased with it so far - but thats me :) |

Trigger is the worst AR-15 stock trigger I've tried yet, but otherwise my lightweight CAR kit works just fine.

I am also fairly new here . I purchaced 16" CAR kit - M4 stock, Chrome lined barrel , free float handgaurd blah blah about a month ago from M1S . Looked perfect ! I then waited nearly 5 weeks for Bushmaster lower ( They said 1 week max wait !) . Got tired of the perfect looking upper /kit , so I ordered a Stag lower and recieved it in 3 days . Went to the range today and blasted through 550 rounds . Perfect looking upper kit funtioned flawlessly . I realize I have about 1K more til M1S kit begins its self destruct sequence , but I am very impressed with the 2" groups at 125 yards all day long !
My experience with M1S has been great & Stag Arms was excellent to deal with also . Unfortunate for Bushmaster to be so far behind to not meet the "1 week" , but under the circumstances of No Ban-dom understandable . |

A guy named Brian is handling my problem and so far has been impressive. Even emailed me when ups delivered it back to them. Now lets see if I get the credit back they promised. I will let you guys know.

According to Maryland AR15 Shooters Site contact people are Bill and Cindy - I spoke with Brian , he said "no one with Bill for a name worked there " .
I also had no issues with any assembly . All parts fit well and functioned well . The trigger ( yeah the trigger ! ) pulls at 7#, which is "in spec" , but breaks clean and didn't have much effect on field grade accuracy . It is livable as is ( and can always be "improved " if necessary ) |

OK i have to post this.
I have one AR15 right now. It is built on a RRA lower. with a M & A Varmint upper. I have totally enjoyed it. Ran at lest 2000 rounds through it so far. I just don't get the whole Model 1 sales and M&A are the same company. I need to do some more reading... But now with the Texas incident I'm not sure what to do. As I was going to buy a M&A M-forgery kit and build my daughter a Pink AR on a AMEETEC lower. BTW pink furniture is Cav Arms. ETA: I ordered a complete upper and bought the bolt and charging Handel from them. They failed to ship the bolt and handle. So I called them and the shipped it right out. No problems involved. I was surprised they didn't put up a fight, besides I could of lied and such. |

I dont have all the facts, but supposedly they are. All the Nesard family. Nesard Gun Company (now defunct after the Waco issue) Barrington, Ill Model1Sales Fox River Grove, IL 60021 M&A parts Lake Zurich, IL 60047 All within a stones throw of each other. All with reported fried chicken eating contests at a gun show near you. All with a similar attitude towards customer service.
After reading what they did, you would still support them? I wont! |

Then don't
Honestly I wonder if the people in here actually read the thread - Model1Sales Not pink gun - pinko - or anything else in between I don't give a flying F#@$ about who owns them, as long as they provide a decent kit - they done that - decent price - they done that - and polite respectful treatment to the customer - me Some of you people who harbor this hate for them amaze me, and it seems you will stop at nothing to continue it Yes - there IS HAPPY Customers from Model1Sales Yes - people have had problems, and gotten resulotions - those who didn't at this point I would have to say probably didn't follow through in and decent manner - either way - you all got some HATE ISSUES Don't really give a flying F$#@ - at this point I am sorry I even bothered with this post - except for the reason that the hate mongers who have nothing decent to say - right check their posts - bunch of whinning/crying clowns with the only purpose in the pathetic lives is to try and find some joy in SLAMMING this post - which was in regards to how I was treated. Sorry they found me so amiable - and the hate mongers not - such a surprise oh I know - omg I heard in a chat group that a persons friends brother... said this company at WACO - this and that... Your pathetic - do you buy your ammo from kmart? did you ever buy hunting supplies at service merchandise prior to their anti gun clean out - I have a sneaky feeling your one of the ones who bought up all the 50% off supplies from those places... Figures... |

I never dealt with them. But I have heard their customer service sucks. And it looks like one of their customers has an attitide to match. No wonder they get along.
I may order something from them , I dont really care if soneone is a caustic ass. As long as they dont screw up my order and I get good stuff. I guess I will find out if I decide to do business with them. |

Man you are a real winner. Anyway. Where do you get the idea I am a "griefer"? I said I dont care if the people that run it are jackasses. I said I may do business with them. Why are so you sensitive to all this? Thats what I am trying to figure out. I am at odds with someone like your who is overly defensive. Then again your pissy attitude speaks volumes. |

Calm down man if you or anyone else wants to buy from a company that continually gives bad service go ahead. No sweat off anybodys b@lls. You might want to try M&A next I hear there great to buy rail covers from. Ask for goatee boy he'll hook you up. It's still anyones right to post a bad experience too though that way someone who has no experience with them can make an informed decision. Take a zanex drink a beer and look at M1 catalog you'll feel better. |

Hi there,
I am glad I found this post... I'm a newbie here, but not a newbie to other forums. I was debating on either a Model1 or J&T M4 upper. So far I'm leaning towards the J&T because of the up front price of $464.95 + $15.84 shipping charge for the features I want. I do like the Model 1 website, however they do not list shipping. And if Shipping is $50 as stated in this thread... YIKES!!! for the same features as the J&T... M1S = $500 + ~$50??? as for the customer service... it's good to hear a few good positives from M1S, but the negatives are still a little too much to justify the $70 difference. Plus the maturity level of some of the positive comments on M1S customer service in this post must be a joke? I think they are probably hurting Model 1 Sales more than they are helping? I am spoiled with the CMP, by FAR one of the best customer service of any organization in the U.S. Chris www.m1garand.net/ |
