I don’t really see how this will ever be topped in the cringe department.

Curious how many are even out there any more?

Never seen one in the wild. I might have seen one of their G3 clones. It looked like sub Khyber Pass quality.

If their AR lowers aren't completely useless then I suppose someone could build a perfectly fine gun out of one. I seem to also recall hearing that their FALs could be decent.

It was, the company started out as Hesse, then became Vulcan and finally they called themselves Blackthorne until they folded for good.

I’m not sure I’ve ever seen an advertisement for an AR 15. I like to check out some of the vintage Colt ads from the 1960s, but I’m fairly certain the only advertisements I’ve ever seen are the reviews and articles, that are actually advertisements masquerading as reviews and articles.

When they were priced the same as other premium brands the excuse was "but muh proprietary"

It is interesting to watch the arguments change over time.

I've seen Black Rain rifles in the store but never owned or fired one or known anyone who did.
What's the deal with them?  Are they poor quality?  Overpriced?

They seem a tad overpriced for what they are and their advertising has been a bit obnoxious in the past.

Out of the one's one normally wouldn't expect to be at the top of that list, Noveske has pretty much put itself there.

I have a N4 that John built for me back in 06', with a 17-4 SSS barrel.
After that, John died, and later, a couple of their CHF barrel's that I built into uppers.

After that, no thanks

Hang on now:  

Plum Crazy never took themselves seriously.  I mean, they put “crazy” right in their name.  Why crazy?

POLYMER crazy, that’s why.  Not just polymer lowers, they even moulded complete fire-control groups out of their polymer.  

Crazy idea?  Hmmm - let’s unpack that:

- Glock introduced a polymer handgun in the 1980s; rumor has it: the gun actually works!

- the original M-16 had polymer furniture, and the jokes are still flying about the “plastic gun” more than 50 years later,

- the Steyr AUG uses a FCG made of polymer; also not exactly a new design (ie it works)

Plum Crazy did not make every part of the lower out of polymer to prove it was “the best” (and they were not the first, nor the last).  They never claimed to be the best, AFAIK.  

They did it to prove it could be done, and they did it in a non-serious (but effective) way.

I would not lump them in with incompetent schiesters like Hesse/Blackthorn/Vulcan.
