I'm getting ready to put together an AR of some sort but am on a budget. I see good prices at model 1. What do you think about their quality for a first AR? |
|
I have bought a few small parts with no issues. I have never bought an upper. I did buy a lightweight barrel from them and the FSB was rotated a bit off.....I sent it back and they sent me a new one without any trouble. I would buy from them again. They have a great deal on charging handles with the extended latch installed..$25, can't beat that. That reminds me, I need to order 2 more  Added....Welcom to the boards

I don't know, it stopped going bang and throwing brass out the ejection port  I don't know the specifics. I did talk to him recently and he said after it was rebarrelled it ran fine.You've had yours awhile, by now you should have shot it enough to know that it's okay. I just would not recommend them as a first purchase as they seem to have a spottier record than J&T or Del-Ton. |

I've had nothing but good experiences with Model 1 Sales. I own several uppers from them, and they have been flawless. However, I have heard what many others have expressed, that some of the small parts in their lower parts kit can be a little rough, so I don't think I would ever buy a lower parts kit from them (or use their LPK in their kits). I do believe their overall quality may also have been worse in the past, but appears to have been pretty good over the last couple of years (especially since they moved to Texas) As far as uppers go, I've been extremely pleased, and never had a problem with their customer service. The seem to have a good reputation for simply replacing stuff if customers have any problems. |

OK, so what would you guys recommend for a entry level flattop? I need to keep this under $750 for the rifle itself, would like to go much lower if possible but maintain decent quality and accuracy. Resale is not a concern. I'll probably keep the thing forever like other guns I own... Thanks for the nice welcome BTW... Awesome site. |
Upper www.bravocompanyusa.com/LMT-16-M4-Carbine-Upper-Receiver-Group-p/lmt%2016%20urg.htm $ 615 complete buttstock www.bravocompanyusa.com/Stag-Arms-M4-Stock-p/stock%20m4%20stag%20arms.htm $ 80 Then get a stag lower parts kit for $ 60 off the ee $ 755 and all top shelf components. Okay you are over if you meant INCLUDING the lower, but you have an AR made out of top shelf, quality products. |
