Q&A for possible new buy

[cdawg]

whats everyones take on the intrarms AR-15 carbine 16" a/3 flat top? just wondering price quoted 649$ out of centerfiresystems.

Who makes them? Google that gun name and all that comes up is web sites that sell the rifle, not a manufacturer's site.

There was a company in VA years ago that was called Interarms, but they did not make anything. They just imported various guns that weren't normally imported in the US. For example, they imported Walther PPK/S pistols before Walther had a relationship with S&W. They also brought in some Mauser based bolt guns as well.

For about $100 more you can get a Del-Ton with some Magpul MOE furniture from AIM Surplus.

The Del-Ton has a 5.56 chamber at least.

Thanks for the in depth help and your opinions! A lot of food for thought on the other purchase option!

sorry, i couldn't find that brand on The Chart. Are you sure that's who makes it?

This. There are better known names out there for a splash more scratch. There's no telling hat componants that builder used. even the entry level Daniel Defense on AIMSurplus is only $999

One options to consider is building it yourself. We have a group buy starting up around April-ish on stripped AR lowers from Spikes Tactical. Or if you can't wait that long, get both

Hole Punch is spot on. Consult "The Chart"...it's indispensable.

Get a Delton or Spikes.

I dont trust Centerfire, Ill order from them but they get alot of stuff from "odd" manufacturers.

Guess who is caught holding the bag? Unless the price is awesome........spend a little more, manage your risk and get a better or at least better supported by the manufacturer gun.

P.S. Not worried about who made the lower, its the rest of it.
