jtallen83 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 http://armalite.com/ Went to do a little research and found a new face on an old friend. My account is still good......good for nothing! I can't order any parts except by phone. They also removed the tech notes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRKle! Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Wow, this must've JUST happened. I was on there around noon PST today showing Robo stuff and it was the old site. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Holy poop. I was just on the site with Farkle. That's a crazy fast transition. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaseFan9 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 They might've removed the tech notes in preparation for the potential "clarification" (as they call it) of the ITAR. Glad I saved a copy already.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaseFan9 Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Also, no more complete or stripped lowers.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaRKle! Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Well bad news.I called Armalite today and asked about lots of the missing items on the site and they said that some of them will probably be added back, but many aren't going to be available as standalone parts anymore. The rep was fairly confident the AR-10 action spring (EA1095) would be added back, and probably the 2-stage triggers, but said overall that they were shifting their focus to becoming more of a complete gun manufacturer and less of a parts supplier.He also said lots of the tech notes and the exploded diagrams (with part #s) wouldn't be available anymore... They were such a great reference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rsquared Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Yeah. Just noticed this today myself. I would like to think that parts (AR-10 parts that is) would still be available. But then again......I'm not currently having a parts shortage. Yep....it's all part of the sickness. <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
washguy Posted June 15, 2015 Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Am I missing something? did Armalite stop being a sponsor here? can someone gimme the 411? :) Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jtallen83 Posted June 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2015 Anybody got copies of all the tech notes I could get? PM me if so...............knew I should have printed the $hit out......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 (edited) I have a bunch of them, and there are still copies floating around the www - they can still be pulled down. Just search for a specific tech note (by number), and you'll find it. If you can't, I'll search for it and find it somewhere out there. <thumbsup> Most of those tech notes were written by, and are the intellectual property of, Pat Raley, the former Primary Armorer for them... Miss ya, Pat. You should check in once in awhile, brother. :happydrunks: Edited June 16, 2015 by 98Z5V Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 I talk to Pat still... he's still a little sour with Armalite Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChaseFan9 Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 Is he a member? If not you should so bring him on, open up our own tech notes section.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GRA Posted June 16, 2015 Report Share Posted June 16, 2015 FWIW ... Just checked the link in the OP above. Went in to Tech Notes section. Note there said "Coming Soon". Most likely the absence of them is due only to the website being redone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted June 17, 2015 Report Share Posted June 17, 2015 I'm glad you guys brought him him... I wonder if he still has that communist head space gauge set. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sisco Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I talk to Pat still... he's still a little sour with Armalite Can't blame him. I kick myself now, I was going to order two of the AR10 spare parts kits Pat put together a couple of years ago before I went in for surgery. I didn't and now I'm hosed.

Rsquared Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 Let me know if you need something Sisco. I "might" have a couple of the field replacement kits if you need them. <laughs> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted June 19, 2015 Report Share Posted June 19, 2015 I still use a Lone Star kit (for you older fuckers who remember Lone Star) for all my small parts. It's been refilled several times over with Armalite and DPMS parts. I was very tempted to get Pats kit too, but never pulled the trigger.

washguy Posted June 20, 2015 Report Share Posted June 20, 2015 Yep...im an old phucker...used to go over to lone star's warehouse in Ft worth..or kinda near there...he had the good stuff back in the day...and at gun shows he had bins full of ar parts all sorted out...you could buy all the stuff you needed right in one spot :) Wash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrraley Posted June 25, 2015 Report Share Posted June 25, 2015 sorry I've been gone so long... it is a good feeling to know you were missed. It really does make one feel better. As for the Tech notes, I still have copies of them and would be more than willing to put a library / list together of all the ArmaLite Tech notes by number and title for everybody's reference needs.
