    What has he done wrong? As we are on a barrel talk about, is it regarding his barrels?

    I've heard too many horror stories particularly of ARs going for "work". Namely involving A4 uppers which have a extended chamber for reliability being done to A2 spec which DONT which anyone who knows the slightest about ARs will tell you. His suppressors are substandard and can't recall the number of times I've heard of blow outs or baffle strikes coupled with the fact comparatively they are louder by a fair margin. Seen the price of his AR suppressors? I bought one a few years ago and compared it to a first gen DPT on a carbine AR(Hardy AR specific suppressor) and the DPT at $500 less was far superior in every way. Feel free to contact the service rifle association for more horror stories

    Because He offers deals to H and F on rifles like Tikkas which sell themselves which in turn sell En mass and he makes a few bucks off each one, it's simple economics and for those who want a suppressed rifle that seems great. Just my opinion and your opinion is respected irrelevant of agreement or disagreement:-)

    I'm interested in his carbon barrels and the claim f clean bore consistency with following shots. But at $1000 plus I'd have to get a real good price for one of my Kreiger blanks to try one!

    And the silencers who had baffle strike. We're they is installed by hardy. Because the best suppresort can be easily fucken if some Muppet just whips the barrel up in a 3jaw chuck. My wife's tikka that I bought second hand for her had clear chuck marks from a 3 jaw chuck
