Nothing beats a Cerakote coating. Extra protection from everyday elements while working somewhat like a lubricant. I recommend Bilson Arms, any day.

Having worked within the "Billy Angers family of companies" since 2014, I can honestly say that I would put the machining and programming skills, lathe and mill, up against anyone. Utilizing leading edge programs in the CNC/CAD departments, such as MasterCAM, Solidworks & Autodesk products, coupled with an integrated ERP (Enterprise Resource Planning) system, namely Global Manufacturing, has improved quality, project repeatability and timely deliverables.

Wife surprised me with a Bilson lower for Christmas. Looks like I'm building my first AR. As a machinist for over 40 years, I know quality craftsmanship. Super excited!
