This is pretty nice imho. I wonder why they chose this barrel nut arrangement versus their standard setup.

The hits keep coming. This time, Freedom Group fired Advanced Armament Corporation’s plant manager, Lynsey Thompson, yesterday. A source told me that the move signals Freedom Group, LLC’s intention to fold the AAC operation into the existing Remington factory in Ilion, New York. Remington Defense is a subsidiary of Freedom Group that oversees the operation of AAC. “The rumor that we are moving the operation to New York is one hundred percent untrue,” says E. Scott Blackwell, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for Freedom Group, LLC, when asked about the rumored move. “We have zero intention of moving AAC to New York; We’re hiring 5-7 new people and we just purchased a new [coordinate measuring machine] that we’re putting in there.” Thompson’s firing marks the loss of the third of the three top positions in the Remington Defense subsidiary. Prior to her termination Kevin Britingham was fired from his position at the head of AAC as Remington Defense’s leader, Jason Schaubel, resigned. When asked about the reason for Thompson’s dismissal, Blackwell defered to company policy that prevented him from discussing personel matters decisions. “We have moved some companies to New York in the past, we’ve learned lessons from that and AAC is not moving to Ilion, New York,” Blackwell told GearScout today, “AAC is doing just fine where it is. We’ve got a great workforce and there’s no reason to pick it up and move it to a facility where they’re producing firearms. Blackwell will visit AAC’s Lawrenceville,GA, facility Monday along with other Freedom Group executives, including FGI CEO Robert Nardelli for meetings with AAC employees. “We’re invested in the place, there’s good people down there and their focused on growing the business its a great brand great products great history and we intend to grow it,” said Blackwell.

WOW they are pretty bold..

welcome

As Matt noted early on this thread was destined for trouble. I'm done with this and any user that generates this kind of reaction from members and staff has no place here. There are better forums with like minded individuals for the information you seek. Thread locked and Im sorry your membership here did not work out.

Guys I can vouch for Malaga2, he's GTG <thumbsup>

I like It!

BTW Dave contacted me yesterday and he's having trouble with the PM system here. Im looking in to it.

That upper is geared towards suppressor use and the ceramic coating is a price adder for sure.

Regarding the gas block: That was one of my discussions with JP. It's his opinion that most 308 AR's/AR-10's are over gassed and can benefit from and adjustable gas block. Aside from being over gassed many shooters use ammo designed for bolt actions that ammo in many cases has a different pressure curve than ammo designed specifically for these weapons. These platforms were designed to operate with specific military loads. We the consumer runs everything we can through them.

here you go

It seems legit. It made an appearance on several news feeds.

There are brief periods when Dave is off the grid. He will get back to you folks for sure when he returns. He owes me a few answers too.
