Not quite ready for battle, it would seem.
Linky:
Here is a blog site regarding it: http://www.thefirearmblog.com/blog/2014/10/07/battle-rifle-company/
Go to their homepage, click the ‘media’ link then click the ‘articles about us’ link on the drop down menu. There is a story speaking of their improvements since they first started off slow. (Within that story is a link to a story of TBR’s initial problems.)
The company was completely unknown to me so I did a search and found the article really blasting them and a couple of others including a follow up.
It sounds like they had no idea what they were doing to start with but are making real efforts to improve their product. I bet by now they are OK.
Still I probably would buy another brand until I knew they were OK.
Hmmmm? From what I see so far, I don’t think I’d take one into battle. Rather have a used CETME or G-3.
I don’t know anything about the company, but I wouldn’t trust any gun maker who jumped into the business during the Obama Gun Panic of 2009. Good for you for reading a blog tester and other sources. It’s not fun to spend several hundred dollars or even thousands on something that’s supposed to be fun but turns out to be unreliable crap.
Lots of good, inexpensive ARs on the market right now. You can pick up a Colt for under $800, or some boutique makes for not much more.
The folks who made the Bushmaster name sold that company and the same (former Bushmaster) production line employees are now making a great rifle under the Windham Weaponry name.
