The Rollmark and the Warranty. That's about it.  They don't sell ArmaLite branded parts, only complete rifles get the ArmaLite logo.

In the uppers, the ArmaLite bores/chambers are chrome lined. EA barrels are not chrome-lined.

I have own an Eagle Arms rifle in the past. The quality was excellent IMO.

I have built 3 ARs on Eagle lowers.  The quality is outstanding.

The Lowers are the same as the ARMALITE lowers.  However, as _DR stated.  ARMALITE rifles are only shipped as completes.

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENCES BETWEEN ARMALITE AND EAGLE ARMS RIFLES?

There are normally very few differences between ArmaLite and Eagle Arms brand rifles.

ArmaLite rifles are the top of the company's line. They tend to be more up to date, and include higher quality parts such as chrome lined barrels. They are produced from selected forgings.

Eagle Arms rifles are intended to compete with lower priced brands. They are extremely high quality rifles in their own right. They bear un-chromed barrels as standard.

ArmaLite Lower Receivers and Lower Receiver Assemblies are NEVER sold to the public. All ArmaLite rifles are either factory or government built. ALL other brands of receivers are sold to the public, including Eagle Arms brand receivers, and thus rifles of all brands except ArmaLite may have been assembled by hobbyists.

ArmaLite rifles bear a Limited Lifetime Warranty. Eagle Arms rifles bear a Limited One Year Warranty.
