I believe they were taken over by RRA, their stuff was in spec. as far as I have seen in the products I owned, only real complaint was the cast lowers(what this mean to those of us deploying to Op-Starbucks I don't know) however there were never any function issues associated with them, these were/are very good quality rifles. We refinished and removed all the casting lines from one of my lowers at Hunter's and it turned out real nice...wish I had kept it. Epps has one which I have pics of I can foreward and I think Hotnix has my old one. If had the extra bucks I would get the one FNC1 has on this board.
