They can fuck right off with their $3800 rifle.
I like their triggers but, not really impressed with the rest especially after their gas port issues and the answers they had.
They have below average QC and drilled some middies with carbine length port sizes then claimed that was their spec…when the barrels wouldn't reliably cycle.
Well that certainly brings me up to speed. That's a bummer. I wish there were a reputable factory 16" 6ARC out there.
The early shooting reports on that rifle were amazingly good. We ordered some in February, which means nothing. With most rifle manufacturers, what we order after shot show is normally 9 to 12 months to delivery. There was something really cool about their 6 ARC. I think it had to do with the gas system giving some sort of small flow of constant gas that gave the BCG a really smooth ride. The accuracy on the first few guns was very impressive.
As to Geissele QC, the only issues we have seen is occasionally with their barrels. I think they took a giant leap into the barrel business before they were ready. But, generally, they have had a good product. But, that is from my vantage point. Others may have other experiences. Their Super Duty 14.5" is very popular and reliable. We build the URGI for the clone correct market, so I prefer the military build to what Geissele builds, but we use their rail. Triggers are great. We have not bought their sling or optics. Optics mounts are extremely high quality, but a number of brands have caught up with them. Badger, ARC, Audere.

Yes i saw in a video they are running 3 gas ports on their arc barrels?
For real? I'd like to see a thorough explanation of the theory behind that.
Given all the gas port burr threads we get these days that sounds like triple the chance of problems.
Wonder if they spiral around the barrel to avoid the lands????
thats what they claimed in the video - spiral configuration. who knows what it will end up being but curiousWonder if they spiral around the barrel to avoid the lands????
More excited about their 6arc mags as ive had bad luck so far
