What can you tell me about this AR?

[skyler_2010]

Tool distributor came in today and told me to come on the truck and said if you buy this tool set ($500) you will be one of three in the drawing for this AR in 223. Completely custom and had a "gun expert" tear it down and check everything over and he was told "everything is top of the line". He has 10 tickets so total of $5k is what he will get back. I know nothing about this platform other than the one I shot was fun to shoot. The scope lights up green or red on the reticle and also has open sights on top. Other than that I really don't know anything else about it. What do you guys think?

Can you provide anymore info? Without know the brand or the components that went into this rifle it's impossible to tell if it's a decent gun.

He’s full of it. They may be $450 worth of components. It may shoot but it’s nothing special.

Scope is el cheapo, the pistol grip and flash hider are the cheapest options.

Lol, probably worth $600-$700...to someone?

It’s a budget build. Strongly doubt anything on it (based on what I can see externally) is “top of the line”. “Custom” means nothing in the AR world, anyone can build a “custom” gun from parts on their kitchen table.

What can I tell you about it? Dont buy it or waste any money to acquire it. Looks to be junk.

The make on the lower and upper would be stamped on the other side. I zoomed in on the photo and it doesn’t look like anything special.

The pistol grip is factory mil spec plastic. The butt stock is adjustable and padded. Not mil spec but nothing fancy and looks heavy. The mag well on the lower doesn’t appear to be flared. Any high end lower receiver will have a flared mag well and won’t have that fat lip going all the way around the bottom for you to bump your mag on trying to reload. The upper has a standard mil spec forward assist, shell deflector, and ejection port cover. High end build uppers have nicer items normally. The rail guard and flash suppressor are basic and older style with the non key mod rail. Who knows on the barrel, probably mil spec chrome lined not an accurate stainless. Not sure on the optic sorry.

Based on external components I'd say it is nothing special. Basic grip, basic flash hider, no curved trigger guard, and full rail system (highly unneccessary given Mlok and keymod availability although some might consider that an upgrade). My guess is a basic mil spec (trash) trigger as well. I'm sure it shoots fine but top of the line it isn't.

I think this sums up what you are asking

Thanks guys I appreciate it. Need a tool set for the house but not the set he has for the price if the rifle isn't worth it

I've built similar for under 4 bills.....
Forged upper & lower vs billet makes it almost impossible for it to be North of $600. Flash hider is a $10 job. Handguard screams $30 on eBay. I'd be amazed if you can find the sight for more than $39.99.......

"everything is top of the line"
Guy's only ever dealt with mil-spec triggers huh?

My Cornwell Dealer had a 1911 last month and this month has a Ruger Precision in 6.5. He is selling more tools now than he ever did before.

 

[skyler_2010]

This is matco and he had a Glock last month and it took less than a week to sell all tickets

 

[Deplorable77]

Man that's brilliant marketing. I don't know if he's a genius or a crook.
5k........ in what currency?

 

[robtattoo]

5k........ in what currency?

Whatever Zimbabwe uses these days. I dunno. Certainly not western currency.
Maybe lira?

 

[skyler_2010]

Lol American. I have learned the "expert" was a "25 year active marine master sergeant" which would explain your guys thought on mil spec on the gun

 

[Ratamahatta]

Rainbow vacuum cleaners?

Can’t be, he would have cleaned the finish off of it.
