I also wonder if the castle nut on the RE is staked as well.

Based upon what I read and researched I suspect that at this time there is little if any production. Perhaps some pre-production runs, but I could not find one for sale anywhere. They may well be waiting (hoping) on orders to come in before they produce anything...

That's telling. Could be a legit operation...Could be a couple of bubbas in a garage.

I cannot find any data on this company, no address other than just 'clayton Ga', no names of officers or anything else.

While its not rare or unusual for new companies to start up and advertise a product they in fact do not have and will make or obtain when they get enough orders. I invested in a company a while back that did exactly that and they got the orders, are producing the products and doing well.

Optimistically I see this a a legit company trying to get off the ground. But not sure they have a sufficient wedge to enter into an already crowded AR market. Their key selling points are something they made up and call MIL GRADE and that there weapons are made in the USA and use MagPull accessories. I really see them as every mothers son with a guitar heading to Nashville to make it big in the music business.

The real question becomes what sets your weapons platform off from all the other competition? What do they bring to the table to compel me to buy theirs over We B AR's? And for the more sophisticated AR shopper, WHAT components do you actually manufacture yourself to a set of specs that provides a superior product or at least an advantage over others????
