I gotta say, this looks awesome:

How's AO for build quality?  I've read Inland is pretty bad, which kept me from buying one of their Advisor short barrels set ups and SBRing it.

I own an AO M1 Carbine, and... it was dog shit.
Sent it off to an M1 Carbine wizard, he fixed it.
A socialist may indeed be academically superior.
And yet, they are most certainly emotionally retarded.

Public education is the opiate of the masses.

@Mick214, sadly he died a couple of years ago,
the business no longer exists. More recently
I have used Fulton Armory with great success.

It's sort of amazing how bad it seems modern built M1 carbines are.  We're not disussing some intricate design that only the most skilled factories can produce - they were built and apparently worked fine by companies that had been building typewriters.

If you read the book War Baby, during their WWII Era manufacture, the businesses
that built them were also building shitty carbines.  IIRC The best off the line M1
Carbines were built by National Postal Meter.  AO may have improved their
rifles by now, of that I am not sure. I am 100% positive that Fulton Armory is GTG.

Saw this thread, was curious about the answer due to the same SBR rifle.

Man I wish Fulton would do a threaded M1 “advisor” pistol that could more easily be SBR’d by the rest of us.

But man I’m jonesing for an M1 Carbine SBR now.
Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.
