Opinions, please!

I know very little about ARs. I’ve just never been a fan of them. However, recently I have been thinking about getting one.

Is this one any good? Has anyone dealt with this company before?

Not dealt with them, if you are looking for inexpensive, Palmetto State Armory has good customer service.

If they're legit (I would do a little research) and you're even slightly in the market, a $300 AR is a good way to scratch that itch.

My opinion is, you can't complain about the price. If you are so inclined, you should take the plunge and provide the review for everybody else. :)

Some cursory internet searching said they aren't that bad. Looks like they use a lot of rebranded Anderson parts. For $300, what can go wrong?

I’ve shot a rifle I built with some of their parts. It’s a bargain bin of ar parts…

Looks fine for the price. I do find their sub MOA guarantee a bit absurd for what it is.

The rifle Chiro posted looks better to me. You probably won't be looking to upgrade the stock and grip on that one. Plan to spend another $80-100 on a better trigger regardless of what you buy around that price point.

I don’t know why I think I can have anything. After starting this thread I had to go town. I was hoping low tire pressure was why my truck is pulling hard to the left. Well, it ain’t. Idk what’s wrong. So now I’ve got to put it in the shop. No idea what that’ll cost. So, no AR for me.
