AR 15 Armorer’s Course

[LRRPF52]

LR52:

I think what these guys do is bodge the blaster together and then deliberately put in a oversized gas port to compensate for otherwise poor and out of spec parts, slapped together enough that it won't fall apart. The oversize gas port allows it to function and for most people, that is good enough.

Yup. They can get away with inefficient carrier 3-bore dimensions (too loose) and allow the guns to run underpowered Wolf for a while until the gun beats itself up. The VISMOD-15 manufacturers know that most customers are only going to buy a few boxes of ammo, do some light plinking with them, and not much more. Slap on a cool Cerakote color to make it look like a quality carbine, with their unique handguard.

Problem is they’re selling these things anywhere from $1100-$2000. You can get a superb AR-15 that is built to TDP for less than $1100 that will run and run thousands of rounds without issue.
