Been using their stuff since they were actually Eagle Arms (stand alone) Stuff is Good to Go. Being backed by Wolverine doesn't hurt either.

Have 2 of them tha I picked up from Wolverine and used for my own builds. Clean machining, nice finish, everything fits and mates perfectly.

Affordable, quality product....and great customer service from the good people in Virden!

I believe they are the same as the rifles made by Armalite. Eagle Arms bought the Armalite brand name in the mid nineties and subsequently change the name of their company to Armalite, Inc. I did an online search on the Eagle Arms name, and apparently they continued the name as one of their product lines, but looking on Armalite's website, I don't know if they do so any more.

Olympic Arms sits near the bottom of the pack. Almost everyone is better.

Eagle Arms is a division of Armalite. It's a long story about how it was purchased around 15 years ago.

I have found the finish on the Eagle Arms to be better than some of the Armalite's (picked up both from Wolverine).

Just curious. Why would anyone go out of your way to look for an Eagle Arms when there's so many better AR choices out there?

Price I would guess I usually see these listed a few hundred under a "better" brand name.

I've been super pleased with my 2 Eagle lower receivers in the past. Great product at a great price point. Did everything I asked of it... lower parts kit went on smoothly without any surprises, TWICE

My understanding is that an Armalite receiver is one made and "assembled" by Armalite. Eagle is an Armalite that someone else assembles, ie parts kit. Armalite won't put their name on it unless they, themselves have built it.

I've purchased stripped Armalite lower receivers in the past. I actually still have one left for a project.
