New M4 on the market

[c4igrant]

A company called ADS has released an M4 clone that appears to be a very good value. We just got some of these in stock and can honestly say that I am impressed with it.

From looking at the style of the roll marks, I think LAR is making the uppers and lowers. The roll marks on the barrel tells me that Shaw makes them (which is where Colt gets some barrels made).
The other interesting thing about these M4's is that the barrel, upper and lower receiver are finished in Robar's Black Oxide! This is very high quality coating that is also on the expensive side. By coating everything, it gives the weapon a very even finish.

Here are some specs on the weapon:

Barrel Steel: 4150
Twist Rate: 1/7
Chrome lined: Y
F marked FSB: Y
M4 Barrel Extension: Y
M4 cut upper receiver: Y
Mil-Spec 6 position RE: Y
MP tested bolt: Y
AR15 Bolt Carrer: Y
Castle nut staked: Y

The bolt carrier is CMT which means that it is not staked properly. They also use a blue extractor insert VS black one. We will make sure that they are properly staked and the extractor is upgraded before it leaves our shop.

The complete weapon (which includes a hard case, D&H 30rd mag and manual) is $825. You can also just buy the uppers (complete) for $539 and their stripped lowers are $120.

Goody! Another poodle shooter! As if we didn't have enough of them the way it was.

Another AR is like another 1911--hardly revolutionary or even newsworthy, yet somehow, always on the front page.

Whatever.

If you weren't interested then why bother posting??

The fact is that there are actually VERY few quality AR's out there and even fewer have 1/7 twist barrels and M4 feed ramps. To top it off, this AR is pretty cheap compared to other models with the same features.

The AW ban has been gone for years now. Hard to understand why that "LEO Only" stuff is still on the lower?

Looks nice. I can't wait to get some feedback from the hard use crew on this carbine.

A lot of PD/Agencies require it. This lower can be had with out those roll markings.

What is castle nut staked and why would it be neccessary to make sure it is properly staked before it leaves the shop?

 

[Austin HiPowers]

In my humble opinion there is always place for a new (quality) shooter. Very curious about experiences of users.

Yes, that appears to be a very good value. I am interested to see/hear how they work out in the real world.

If you have them in stock, the proper place to talk about it is in the for-sale forum for long guns. As an ad, of course, not a long dissertation on the merits...
