their PO box is in whitewright, but their shop is not. It's only about 5 or 6 miles away though. One of the guys I work with knows people that work there....

I ain't telling where it is.... :lol:

I am quite disappointed that they haven't posted anything though, wonder why?

[Kozumi]

thanks for the heads up, do they make thier own parts? if not where do they come from?

That's what I'm trying to find out right now. I'm assuming they make some parts, but I could be wrong. From what I've been told, they've got a pretty good sized warehouse/building/shop/whatever. Guess I should send word through the grapevine for them to post on here?

I would be most grateful

I'll see what I can do, not counting on anything though...

I talked to the guys at the Model 1 Sales booth(Denton TX gun show) today. They said that they do manufacture in house, but weren't specific about what they manufactured. I didn't ask for any specifics, but I doubt they would have said anyway.

Hmm... why do I have this strange feeling that a name that rhymes with "mess" has something to do with it. Thanks for checking it out.

Here's my :cents:

I bought a 20" kit from them just before they moved to TX from IL. I built it on a DPMS action. I did and do not have any serious problems with it.

The parts appear to be from various suppliers. I asked about the 1:8 Stainless Steel barrel option I ordered and was told it was from E.R. Shaw. It was a little rough and tended to foul some at first, but a quick fire lap course using a kit I got from Midway sure fixed that.

The handguards seem a little more flexable than some I have handled but they don't do anything bad.

The trigger was a little gritty at first but it seems much better now.

I shot it at the RVWA Appleseed shoot in Ramseur, NC on 2 & 3 Sept. I put several hundred rounds of Serbian, nny 55gr ball through it in two days.

It did not stop due to any fault of its own. I had two failure to feeds because I did not fully seat the mag after a change, DUHO!! I cannot put those on the rifle. It was the loose nut pulling the trigger both times, not the gun.

It shoots better than I do, but that is faint praise.

Have FUN!
