The DARPA ones were made by IBA. I had one recently built by IBA and am disappointed in the build quality. They added a US stamp to the receiver that was originally not there and several other things and when I called them out I was told I was the problem. There is a thread on mine here. For the money have someone like LRI build one. Or tell IBA not to do certain things. I tried to tell them I wanted it stamped and marked like the originals. Mine came back and is not. So good luck.
