| I posted a thread about a month ago where I had a bullet jacket seperarion blow the endcap off of my tirant 45. AAC has shipped it back to me fixed and they covered shipping both ways. I am very happy with how they treated me. |

My gripe is the mount for my 7.62sd was awesome and locked up tight, then got stuck, and now rocks back and forth on the last tooth where the latch and mount meet up. I was 100% satisfied before, and now I'm thinking of selling it. Easy fix. Takes about 15-20 minutes of polishing |

I have had a end cap strike, a very slight one, on a different mount that locked up tight, go figure. My "wobbley" mount gives me no problems. When I say wobble, there is rotational play, but there is no up and down play. I believe you are mistaking the rotational play for up and down play as I once did |

They did me right when I had a bad heat treated latch on my M4-2000 I don't understand the AAC bashing around here An aac employee did a standard military test on a certain manufacturer's high end can and it failed in significant ways. Then the can was taken apart and there was all kinds of strange engineering inside - and it was not welded in any meaningful way. Findings were put on the internet along with a video and pictures. Epic levels of butthurt live on to this day. Why this was the fault of aac, and not the manufacturer of advertised top of the line can? Never could figure it out just one of those strange things I guess. I guess some weren't comfortable with the boldness, especially when they had those same cans in stock. That i think that is the primary reason for most of the nitt-picking and second hand negative opinion. Also an ad comparing a cut away suppressor to an aac suppressor didn't go over well with some people and there was also a lawsuit filed against an internet poster for posting things about aac military contracts that may or not have been true. Some credit has to be given to aac for modernization of the industry though. Their suppressor designs, which they were never afraid to show the inside of, certainly started some trends. Their marketing campaign to raise the awareness of suppressor ownership being legal in most states - and a walk through of the nfa process was pretty much genius. |

| Yep my interactions w/ AAC have only been good. Twice now they have re-cored my Prodigy for free and payed for shipping both ways. Both times I had emailed them asking for a quote, not expecting it to be free the first time and CERTAINLY not the second time. The last time it had 4k+ rounds through it. Also, they gave me a free takedown tool set during the last return. I was speechless. |

^ why are we bein shy? It's surefire. The marketing poster showing "fully welded vs Not" is quite amusing. AAC deserves the brunt of the hate for "gemtax" Many of the issues people have with AAC came from a time when their customer service was crap. It was back when they were experiencing major growing pains. I think it all started back when they were located in Lilburn, GA. I was sitting in their front room, talking with Kevin and he had to walk away to speak with the Malaysian Minister of Defense or some such. They went from being a fledgling company in a extreme niche market, to being a supplier to the U.S. Military and an international arms dealer. Within a couple of years at that. It took them growing into their business to realize that they had to have people dedicated to making sure the consumer was taken care of after the sale. |
