I am looking at barrels for a new build and was wondering if anyone has used one of these barrels or if the have any insight on them. From what I have read they seem pretty legit but just want to get some feed back before I decide on which barrel I am going to use. Thanks

Never heard of them. What profile barrel is this?

Ben at ar15news has written a couple of things about their products, namely that they were offering complete at pistols for like $500 a few months back.

A friend of mine picked up a upper from them when they were first showing up on the web. It took 8 weeks longer than he was quoted when ordered. Very poorly assembled with a Palmetto State Armory roll-marked barrel (Made by FN for PSA) they claimed was their own. I guess they forgot to grind the roll mark.

Regardless who makes it, it is very overpriced in that link above. The "manufacturer" does not even list that profile in "match grade" trim but has a medium profile match grade listed for about $100 less.
