Better than an Olypmic Arms! LOL.
Can anyone please provide me feedback on the quality of Double Star AR-15's? How do they compare to RRA, DPMS, etc.....?
As always thanks for your help
Bash Oly all you want, for the price I have had nothing but good to say for mine. There are some differences but, as stated they were kinda hit and miss on Quality Control but I think they are much better than most are comparing to, from a few years ago. But that being said.
I Think any AR from a major company will be fine. As stated above DPMS has one of the nicer finishes comparing it to similar priced units. Rock River's are over priced to me. And I've not had any expierence with a Bushy, other than a friends rifle. I have an Oly, DPMS and had a RRA issued. If you ask one the net, no matter what brand someone will have a bad expeirence from any given gun, no matter who makes it. Just look at what you're gonna use if for and shop around. Try to hold and inspect all the rifles in the price range you are shopping for to see the difference.

what is your opinion of the Stainless steel Wilson barrels that that DS use in their HBAR uppers?
The above was from an earlier post........If you watch Larry Vickers TV show, one of his sponsers is Double Star. To me that must mean that he approves of them. Or he just likes their money, and it looks like they pay alot judging by the size pants Larry is wearing these days. I watched the show today and it looks like he is eating pretty well.
Bottom line: DoubleStar would be a good AR for 95% of the people that buy Ar,s. If you find a good deal on one buy it.
I have had very good luck with their lowers, and have built three guns using DS stripped lowers this year alone. Dimensions were in spec, and mag wells were not too tight in any of the three with the variety of mags I have on hand.
Now, I can't say on the quality of their upper parts, as I haven't used them.
