Any difference in quality since Strategic Armory bought them, looking at their m15’s mainly. I see they changed the roll mark but as to quality parts are they the same. Thanks in advance for any info.
 
If you're buying new, the question you should be asking is if there are any issues during the timeframe of Armalite moving from Phoenix to College Station, Tx.
 
I recently bought an armalite 10 in 6.5 creedmoor and so far I am happy . I stripped it down and gave it a good cleaning and lube before I ever fired the rifle . so far I haven't had any issue's , but it's a small sample of one so there is that . Sorry I ' can't comment on the AR15 version .
 
I know one, thing….Arizona Armalite fucked the roll mark on the rifles. I heard they are moving again. I think to Texas now…

Yes they did, looks like total dog shit imo. Finding any decent info on Armalite is like trying to find unicorns. I was looking at their m15 tac16 but I’ve also found a decent older Geneseo model, they’re close to the same price.
 
Sometimes I relate Armalite ownership to racing vintage motorcycles.
My stuff is older Geneseo, and I've always had great results with a phone call. Given the opportunity to go back and do it over... F yes. Same decision every time.
