I went in a local gun shop yesterday and saw a 16 inch ar on the wall . I have never seen one or Know anybody who owns one . Are they another fly by night outfit Or legitimate ?
 
You've never seen an AR before? lol

Jokes aside, I've never heard of them either so I looked them up, or tried to, and the best that I could deduce is they're simply another bargain option for the unwashed, so it would be a hard pass for me. My first clue would be that they (Great Lakes) don't include any information on the receiver material, barrel material, nothing on the BCG, or if it's a commercial or milspec receiver extension. All we know is that it's an AR-15 with a 16" barrel, someone's free floating handguard, a no name waffle stock, and some kind of Vias-type muzzle device.
