He said take it home and try it, so I did.

After sighting in at 15 yards, the first three rounds at 100 yards went into a 1.2" group.

I wish I could find out more information about the company, but I decided to take a chance on the upper.
That’s odd that you couldn’t find anything about them, but if it continues to perform well; I’d be happy.
You LGS owner sounds like a great guy, too!

As far as an unknown brand; I’ve always been a bit of a gun-brand snob, myself.
Then, a guy at a LGS I was just killing time at handed me a Canik pistol to try. Dry firing; the trigger pull was very good, and the reset was the best I’d ever seen! I bought the pistol the next day, and it’s become my #1 range gun; replacing a Wilson Combat that cost five times as much. I also carry it some, and the experience has me looking at less expensive guns in a whole new light.

Could be the same with your “newly discovered” AR brand.
