Anybody? I have dealt with them quite a bit since they are a local company for me. What do you want to know? They sell quality products and have always treated me well. Please feel free to PM me with specific questions and I'll give you my thoughts and experiences. |
| Just wondering what makes any other rifle better than these, other than reputation. Seems to be a fairly new company and everybody has to start somewhere. The specs on their guns seem to be on par or even better than most without the price being out of whack.( billet or forged lowers and uppers, 1/8 twist 4150 barrels, gisselle triggers if u want, several colors, nib coating on bolt, and so on, everything seems to be top notch.) Tactical Life did a review on the patrol rifle and they seemed to love it, it shot .6 at 100 and even .7 with wolf, seems awesome to me!! |

Tactical Life did a review on the patrol rifle and they seemed to love it, it shot .6 at 100 and even .7 with wolf, seems awesome to me!! They are a very small company. Their billet sets are proprietary and not mil-spec, so use caution there. The billet sets are very nice and tight, they just won't work with mil-spec lowers/uppers and that's why they are only sold as sets. I know a lot of their barrels are actually made by Satern and are very accurate. I own a few barrels from them and they have been very accurate. Their forged lowers have a great finish and pretty cool and unique roll mark. I do know that they will build you pretty much whatever you want. There have been several group buys on a local sight here in Oklahoma for their parts and I have yet to read a negative comment on them in any way. I would buy from them without and second thought. |
Thanks for the info, have you handled one before? If im going to spend that kinda of money I want superior accuracy not just so so. I know that LT will get you that ,but they seem to be a little over pricey to me. I want with the right ammo,and the right scope to punch dimes at 100 yards for that much cash!

Wait are you saying they will shoot wolf ammo to .7 MOA?  I'll second that question. I don't know who that question was targeted at, but I certainly wouldn't claim that kind of accuracy from any company. The LOKI parts that I have bought and used have been GTG, but LOKI is not the manufacturer of most (if any) of their products. It's the same with most companies, their products are only as good as the actual manufacturer. I have never bought a complete upper or rifle from LOKI, only a few lowers, uppers, barrels, and handguards. These parts have been great and the barrels accurate, but I know they are not the manufacturer. |
| The .7 moa with wolf ammo statement was from an article in guns & weapons I think. The article is on tactical-life.com if u search loki. I've heard good things about Loki, but I would have to see .7 moa from wolf in person to believe it. Also, those articles never have anything negative to say about the products they review, that's why I stopped reading them and started hitting up forums for people's personal experiences instead. I've been eye-balling Loki's melonite barrels for a while, if I do end up picking one up I'll post a review if/when I do. |

You're correct about the review in the magazine...I still won't believe it unless I saw it personally. I think I will trust Molon's tests...

Quoted: Just going by what I read on tactical life about accuracy, dont know why they would lie about accuracy. Maybe they are paid off!! There was some shooting competitor who was sponsored by Loki who used to kind of pimp them here. That plus your low post count makes people wary. We have people who work for companies all the time show up and pretend to be customers-no offense intended. I honestly have not seen much about them here. There is some guy who has a hunting show who has a line of really expensive semi custom AR15s for hunting. I hadn't heard about that until recently even though the guy is pretty well known.

This doesn’t sound good.
“I have one. I have not had the chance to shoot it yet though. I can comment on my experience with them. I ordered the upper from them on gunbroker. I recieved the item promply(this is where the positivity ends). The ejection port was not opened up enough for the brass to eject. I contacted loki ws and sent it back WITH the original bolt(as instructed). They contacted me a few days later saying I didnt send the bolt. I had attached the bolt to the plastic wrapped around the upper so it could not fall out when they opened it. I recieved the upper the following week. The "mill" work had clearly been done with a dremel(very poorly) and a thin coat of paint applied. The bolt they sent back was a used bolt(completely covered in carbon). the best part is they sent an email saying they "sent a new bolt and headspaced the barrel for it"(on an ar thought this was done by the manufacurer of the barrel). My guess is they gave me a 7.62x39 bolt........an yone know how I can find out for sure? I wish I would have waited for an AA upper. Sorry bill a. Well,..thats my experience(life lesson).” Link to whole story Link Quoted:
