Sun Devil Mfg. Builds Complete AR-15 Rifles!

The answer is YES...! I have already received several emails asking me if, in fact, Sun Devil Mfg. builds complete rifles. The emails I am receiving almost all say "I thought they just made lower receivers"... well, I own three SD-15 rifles that were entirely built at Sun Devil's facility in Mesa Arizona. It is also interesting to learn how many people don't realize that they make upper and lower receiver sets as well. The matched sets are completely CNC machined from billet aluminum and have the best fit and finish in the industry. Unlike other billet receiver mfgs. they keep their price affordable too.

If you haven't seen their "Devilcoat" nickle teflon finish... you haven't seen the sexiest dang AR out there then...

If you are happy with run of the mill off the shelf parts... that's okay. But if you really want to build a nice rig... Sun Devil is the only way to go! I just found these pics on AR15.com... I think this rifle was built by Ranier Arms??

Smith & Wesson AR-15 Made By Sun Devil Mfg.?

I have only had this blog up for a little over a week and I have already received several emails asking if Sun Devil is the manufacturer for Smith and Wesson Performance M&P Ar-15 rifles. All I can tell everyone is that the Smith and Wesson Performance Center 20 inch AR-15 looks an awful lot like my SD-15 20 inch and that I saw nearly a room full of Soft Rifle cases with the Smith and Wesson logo embroidered on the side when I took a tour of their facility. I also heard a former Sun DEvil employee refer to my rifle as the "Smith & Wesson style."

The owner wont really say... you can look at the pics and use your imagination I guess...

My Sun Devil AR-15 Outshoots My Les Baer and My JP!

I am admittedly an accuracy junkie... if it will shoot five shots into one hole at 100 yards... I love it. As an old bench rest shooter I never thought I would own an AR-15 style rifle... just didn't think they could ever be accurate enough. Boy was I ever wrong... but I am a true believer now!

I started off with a DPMS 20" bull barrel based on a friends advice, which cost me about $1,000. The gun shot great and I was pretty happy... then another friend told me that JP rifles were the absolute best and I dropped $2,000 on a JP-15. it was ALOT lighter and a "little bit" more accurate... groups went from about 3/4 inch down to 5/8. Then... yet another friend informed me the Les Baer AR-15s were "guaranteed" to shoot 1/2 inch groups or better... Yep! I spent $2,300 on that rifle and it got my groups down under 1/2 inch as promised. I thought I had finally arrived at the ultimate in AR-15 accuracy... bad news though...

I was at a gun show in Phoenix when I ran into another friend who was working one of the booths. I hadn't seen him in awhile so we exchanged stories as he was telling me about the rifles he was selling... the Sun Devil SD-15, AR-15 style rifle. I promptly informed him that I owned the finest AR-15 available and guaranteed most accurate with my Les Baer Super Varminter. He actually laughed at me and told me that every rifle he sells will out shoot a Les Baer for $500 bucks less. I laughed at him and told him he was crazy...

Well, he called my bluff and lent me his Sun Devil 20 inch match rifle and I took it out for a test drive... You can imagine my surprise when the very first group I shoot put five rounds into virtually one hole. The group measured .185 inches! The second group was only slightly larger at 1/4 inch. Long story short is... I now own two Sun Devil 20 inch match models and one of their M4 style 16 inch models... which, by the way, will shoot just as good as my original DPMS bull barrel rifle shot.

Go figure... The best AR-15s out there are manufactured right here in my home town of Mesa Arizona! If you haven't shot one.... you are missing out on the best of the best. I will post some pictures soon!
