Hey all,

I just bought a Super SASS rifle and really like this beauty, but after careful research I am still unable to locate the barell manufacturer and would like to know who is the maker.

I have read the Armalite history and it does not disclose this information,nor is it found anywhere on this site, I cannot see a logical reason why this is kept so tight lipped and if anyone knows I would greatly appreciate it if you would disclose it to me.

Also, would like opinions on how Armalite national match 2 stage trigger currently istalled from factory in this rifle stacks up against the competition? I am seriously debating a geissele as a replacement because I do not like the take up of the first stage, and it seems to be getting rave reviews from all who have used it.

Thanks,
the newbie-

Have you emailed Armalite and ask them who makes the barrels? I bug them all the time with questions and they have always answered me. Not always the answer I want but an answer.

ok fellas I finally got a responce from Armalite, I will post my original Email to customer service then the official customer service responce.


To whom it may concern,



I purchased a AR-10 Super SASS rifle from your company and would like to know who manufactured the barrel? I have done some research and have not been able to locate this information online. Also I am aware that the Super SASS is suppressor ready, if that is the case which manufacturer is it already adapted for?



I appreciate your time and thank Mark Westrom for such a great product.



Sincerely

Monty Woods.

I cant believe it either! Apparently whomever the Super SASS barrel is manufactured by is a very closely held company secret, I am to say the least dissatisfied with this reply as I can not find a single logical reason as to why Armalite regards it's barrel manufacturer as a secret from the customer who already purchased their product over the competition.

Would love to get a responce on this from our local sponsor Uncle Armalite.


It's not that serious an issue to me, just an irritation.
