I just started my own business. I have a few ideas, one of which is a MD compliant upper. After watching my cousin go through trouble finding an AR up there I thought there may be a market. I am not trying to compete with anyone else, not saying what I will bring to the table will be an end all, and honestly, other than getting dealer pricing on the parts and keeping my labor cheap, it is nothing anyone else cant do. Well, not everyone wants to build their uppers I guess.
Anyway, my plan is to use a piston operation, as my understanding that will work around the hbar issue. By doing this I plan to use quality barrels, such as Spikes, Noveske, BCM, Sons Of Liberty, Daniel Defense, pretty much anything you want that I can get. Obviously prices will differ between which barrel is used. The gas blocks will be set screwed, so if you were to move to another state or whatever the case may be you could easily replace it with a standard gas block and tube. That would require a new carrier as well.
This could be a complete flop, and no one has any interest. I just thought I would put it out there. It seems like new shooters have a limited market for a quality AR with post 2013 lowers. I am just hoping to add another option. I want to give people a quality barrel and bolt, that they may find difficult to find since the hbar market is not as large. Pistons arent my favorite for AR's but these should be very reliable and take just about any handguard on the market. Please let me know what you think.
