I just realized I haven't heard anybody mention anything about Fulton-Armory in quite some time.  Have they somehow fallen out of favor?  I see everybody standing in line for Noveske, LMT, etc. but not much about FA.  Just curious if they're no longer the hot thing?  I have an M4gery upper that I got from them in 2004 that is quite nice.  Just curious what others are saying these days. How does FA stack up to the likes of Noveske, LMT, et al?

Allow me to illustrate with a short account if something that happened to me yesterday afternoon.

I was sitting at table enjoying a hamburger when thus guy approached me and started ranting that that my burger didn't have a mil spec bun or shot peened pickles.  Suddenly, my burger tasted like shit.

If it ain't shot peened and MP tested, it's gonna taste like shit....I mean come on!  On a serious note though, are you trying to say nobody talks about FA anymore because they don't use MP'd bolts or some shit? If I have my choice, I'll take shot peened and MP'd over something that isn't, but I've never had any issues with my FA M4gery upper.  They seem to still be doing good business.  So Clint must be doing okay - I just really haven't seen them in the limelight in some time and was curious.

and whats does "they use DPMS parts" actually mean?  All my DPMS parts have been to standard and none of them have broken.  Lets face it DPMS had a rough spot in thier business just like every other company (minus a select few).  

DPMS makes a fine product for 90 percent of the AR range shooters out there.

If you have to ask, you obviously haven't been paying attension. While they do have thrir own marked lower recievers, everything else, with the exception of some of their barrels, is and always has been DPMS.

You don't want to believe it, that's your privilege.

Yeah only issue I've ever had with DPMS was the upper I purchased a few weeks ago had the takedown lug in back out of alignment and I had to drill it out (see my other thread on the subject).  But mostly I've not had issues with them.

I have had a FA heavy barrel upper for 6 years and it's a tack driver. They have a great reputation amoung the high power rifle match shooters. Mines' never given me any problems, shoots, cycles, hit's the target. fyi

My burger wasn't parkerized under the bun and it had DPMS onions.
