I am wondering if anyone has had any experience with Model 1 Sales? They get very bad reviews for quality, delivery, and customer service on the AR15 Forum web site. Yet, it seems that I heard of people here using them.
I'm wondering about recent history. Any first hand experiences here?
If you used them, would you order from them again?

Model 1 Sales complete upper with chromed bolt and carrier, gas block front sight base, 24" SS bull barrel, Harris bi-pod, Leopold glass, RRA lower with match trigger.
Approx. 300 rounds through it, all indoor at 50 yds. Never a failure of any kind.
Can't wait to get to an outdoor range and test longer distances.
So far I am happy with it. Delevery was excellent, probably around 4-5 days.
If I get another AR, it will be a shorty 16" spray & pray. Probably from Model 1 Sales unless I run into problems down the line.
Disclaimer: This is my first AR, so I have nothing to compare it to.

Can't believe everything you read on the internet.
Many of my customers have built ARs using Model 1 kits.
My son and I both shoot Model 1 guns. No problems, no complaints.
They are moving from Illinois to Texas, so things will probably be a little slow with them for a while.

My upper is Model 1 also. AR 15.com is full of both useful and useless info. Just like on Glock Talk, someone places an internet order, doesn't get it in two days, sends an e-mail that doesn't get answered in 24 hours, so they feel they were ripped off and tell the world about it.

Thanks to everyone for the info on Model 1 Sales.
I know the internet is full of both good AND bad info. That's why I asked the question here to help get thru the BS and get some first hand experience.
I figure that if I order anything online or from a catalog there will be some processing and delivery time. As long as it is not more than a couple of weeks that suits me. If I want it quick then I shop accordingly.
Gary, Yes I'll be there Sunday. I'd welcome a chance to lookover your build.
