It's too expensive for what it is. I dislike the goofy magwell and that stock is just retarded...

"Crafted, designed and assembled by Special Operations Forces team members (guys who actually used these rifles in combat) " Really??? "Upper Receiver- 7075 T6 Arsenal Democracy custom, hand fitted to the barrel extension and trued receiver mating surface (blue-printed)" "Rear take-down pin and bolt catch utilizes set screw instead of roll pin for ease of disassembly" "No shipping cost... Just $1776 out the door to your nearest FFL " http://www.11points.com/images/animatedgifs/americanflag.gif View Quote Perfect summation of this new "Special Operations Forces Team Member" assembled rifle. Love those set screws in place of standard rear take-down pins. That just has winner written all over it... |

I'm pretty sure they use set screws to capture the springs for the detents, and not actually using a screw in place of a take-down pin. |

The Arsenal Democracy thread disappeared from M4C. Too much braggadocio from the company reps, and working professionals on that site calling them out for doing so. I don't wish to see a company get hammered with criticism without a fair shake and a chance to prove themselves, but when your message comes across sounding like "you should buy our shit because it's badass and it's made by badasses, and you have no right to question the validity of our badassness because our badassness speaks for itself" then you're going to ruffle some feathers. Humility goes a long way. I'd also recommend something along the lines of an SR-15E3. KAC is renowned company who is no stranger to making guns for true quiet professionals and hardcore end users, are innovative and have the track record and reputation to back it up. Most importantly, they don't have to tout how awesome they are because the product speaks for itself. Real bad boys move in silence.

View Quote There was also quite a bit of bullshit sniping and false accusations in that thread too. It was best for everyone that the thread went away. I'll agree with the humility comment. That's part of the reason I'm starting to distance myself from LaRue products...his actions on this board. I still think that the parts on this rifle are quality, even if they don't meet everyone's exact tastes. |

nice derail.
OP, the rifle is obviously marketed to guys who are into the unique aesthetics. If you like it, get it. If you want to be talked out of it, you don't really want it. |

I like it. It's unique and seems to be built with top quality parts for a reasonable price. I think I'd rather have an 18" barrel though. I like light weight barrels on anything under 16 inches.
