Building AR-15 Rifles is Kentucky man's business

*Wall full of custom AR-15's*

This man reportedly makes a superior bad-ass product. However...If the reportage of what this owner said to the female reporter is accurate, then I call him a favor currying exploitation monger, in it for the cash, not the art as he purports, and more than willing to sell out/stab-in-the-back the very people he is building rifles for, when the Anti-Gun Nuts ram through bans and confiscations.

This piece is more accurate than the usual media biased anti-gun BS we normally see, so you make the call... (S9)

Built as the civilian equivalent of the military's M-16...Quite a few companies manufacture AR-15s in the United States, but the quality varies. Pitts builds his models to meet or exceed military specifications, or "mil spec" in gun talk. He has standing contracts with the military to build parts, which must meet military standards for materials, dimensions, durability and accuracy...
A poster and banner advertise "Accurate Armory — The New Kentucky Rifle." (That's in contrast to the old Kentucky rifle, which was a muzzleloader that helped America win its independence.)...Pitts personally supports stricter background checks and closing the gun-show loophole. But he isn't too worried about the possibility of stricter gun laws targeting the AR-15. "I can develop other platforms," he says... Pitts says his customers — hunters, collectors, target shooters — will adapt if high-capacity magazines are outlawed...
