I am sure they are buying forging from the same place that everyone else does. I wonder if they do the final machining or is that farmed out as well?
Sorta like Kimber, S&W forge the frames and slides, but Kimber does the final machining. So eventually S&W decided to make their own 1911. Ar parts are like this. Some do their own machining, but others just have a MFG label the stuff and do no machining...
You won’t find many Wilson rifle owners on here. I’ve never see another in the wild at any of the classes or shooting events I have attended, or gun shows.
I have 2 of their Recon SR rifles; one in .223 the other in .458 SOCOM.
Fit and finish is first class, trigger pull is great, both are good shooters.
They are a good match to their pistols (I have a Professional 1911 in .45 and a EDC-X9); I feel an AR is easier to produce with good tolerance than a 1911 and make run properly.
I also have their Whisper suppressor for the SOCOM.
Most people think a $3k AR is crazy; they could have 6 (?) *other* AR’s for the same cost and they may be right. All I can say is anyone who has shot either of mine is usually impressed.
If you have the desire to have a top notch AR I say go for it; it will make you happy.
