Hello Forum.
I'm looking at this AR: Windham Weaponry R16M4FTTCF1 M4 ORC AR-15 SA 223/5.56 16" 30+1 6 Pos Stk Blk. It's a entry level AR...likely to be used for occasional plinking at the range. Any Forum members have experience/knowledge relative to this AR? Comments and/or criticisms welcome.

The CF in the model number indicates it's a carbon fiber design. I have fired the all metal version and liked it. The all metal version was very close to mil spec with twist rate the notable exception. Solid AR in my opinion.

I have two Windham ORC carbines - the metal lower receiver and a CF model. Both have been perfectly satisfactory

Thanks for your replies, Acro and RH. Still uncertain about the CF. Various U Tube vids as well as other online sources offer positive reviews.

I could be wrong about this, but I think Windham Weaponry was founded by the former Bushmaster owner who left when Remington bought Bushmaster.
I would expect quality and workmanship to be comparable.

Yeah. Web surfing is sometimes worthwhile. Just an update...should arrive via UPS at my FFL by end of day 03.13.17. Recommendations on .223 ammo?
