    Yeah I mean it’s terrible, and I hate to support an Israeli arms manufacturer. But at the same time I will never give up my Jericho 941. And from what I hear the AR15’s that IWI produces are exceptional. I mean is there any arms manufacturer that is ethical?

      May you take solace in learning that no, the zion-15s (their name not mine lmao) are not actually good. They have some good parts, B5 furniture if that’s your thing (I prefer others but B5 is “good”), one of them comes with a Timney trigger if that’s your thing (tbh I just like a good ol’ milspec schmid), but barrels aren’t CHF nor chrome lined, and their barrel nut is a pain (more of a nitpick but still.)

      More importantly every one I have seen came with some sloppy crap from the factory like misaligned flash hiders and buffer tubes and handguards. One flash hider was completely not torqued, just hand tightened. Just sloppy workmanship that speaks to the quality control, mistakes happen but that’s too frequent. Most of the parts themselves are ok but nothing special, and at that price you might as well save up a couple hundred more for something better or build your own.

      The Jehricos are good though, especially the older ones, and you already have it there’d be no sense in selling it unless it starts Sigging out.
