You might try Unbranded AR. Nice folks, and located just outside Hickory, NCB y r o n wrote:During this build I've not had the greatest of luck with vendors, except the ones that post here.
Tried to order a carbine buffer tube end plate only to have the vendor cancel the order and refund since they apparently didn't have it in stock as listed.
Optic's Planet shipped me a 15" handguard instead of the 12" I had ordered. Barrel is still not delivered yet but the manufacture should have them available any day now I hope.
None of the receiver/handguard combo's I've ordered are gas piston compatible without some modification. May end up going DI unless I can swap some parts from one of my other guns and make things work.
Rifles and carbines seem to be much easier to build compared to pistols. One of my best finds though was a Vortex Strike Eagle 1-8x24 with mount on sale at PSA for under $300. I guess you have to put up with a few inconveniences every once in a while.
Down the rabbit hole I go!

Re: Down the rabbit hole I go!
Hmmmm.... I read their ABOUT US. I am just a few miles from them and know nothing about them. Seems like they would have reached out to a "brick and mortar" store. Of course, I'm in the boonies and largely ignored. I'll check these guys out.ozleux wrote:You might try Unbranded AR.

You can't beat the mountain, pilgrim. Mountains got its own way.

Re: Down the rabbit hole I go!
Unbranded AR is the online retail part of Critical Capabilities. They are part of the company that is: ZroDelta, US optics, Critical Capabilities, etc. Last year they purchased a 120,000 sq. ft. building just west of Hickory, and are moving most of the manufacturing there. Matter of fact, my order for a mount was delayed last week due to them moving the ZroDelta inventory to NC. All of the machinery will be following.rebel wrote:Hmmmm.... I read their ABOUT US.

They will be hiring machinist, if you know of someone.
