Put $$ down on Double Star AR15 ($499.95 new in box) today...interested in what might want to know about Double Star Company AR15? Thanks, Jim Hathaway in AZ
Thanks Gunny; did my four years in the Corps.....Semper Fi...They are like most of your other AR’s . They build them for good parts that the buy or have made for them.
They were selling them at a higher price for a while, about one or two hundred above a S&W Sport II. You got yourself a good deal.
One of the best upgrades you can do is the trigger. Right now Joe Bob Outfitters has some on sale. I have the Hiperfire EDT2 in two of my rifles.Thanks Gunny; did my four years in the Corps.....Semper Fi...
I have the AGL A.C.T. trigger in two of my other rifles and like them very much, but I would give the Hiperfire EDT2 trigger a slight edge. Both companies make more advance triggers but for the price point that both these triggers fall in, they are the best bang for the buck.Gunny
How do you compare that one to the ALG?
Gunny is that an easy job for a non gunsmith guy?One of the best upgrades you can do is the trigger. Right now Joe Bob Outfitters has some on sale. I have the Hiperfire EDT2 in two of my rifles.

Thanks for that Dallas Jack;;;makes me feel better about my pending purchase........I figured why should I spend big money on a Ruger, S&W or Colt AR15?I have had 3 Double Stars. One bought as a complete rifle and two bought as carbine kit's. I've had zero issues with them. Nice solid AR's. They sell parts as www.jtdistributing.net
Redbone thanks for that....I was worried that Double Star might be a cheapo, but I handled it and looked at the more expensive ones and decided to try the Double Star.........can't wait to shoot it...........I’ve had a Double Star AR for 15 years or so. It’s a good rifle. You got a great price!

Really easy to do might near anything on an AR. Trigger swap takes rolling the upper forward on the takedown pins, popping out the 2 pins in the lower reciever, and then holding your mouth JUUUSSSTTT right to line everything back up to reinsert the pins with the new trigger. A lot of times you have to remove the safety, but that’s as easy as taking off the pistol grip to drop the detent pin out of the track that locks it in place. It’s easier done than explained. Lots of good videos on YouTube will show the process.Gunny is that an easy job for a non gunsmith guy?
The AR fire control group is very easy to remove and replace. There are hundreds of videos on YouTube, some good, some not so good. My 13 year old put the fire control group in his last AR build.Gunny is that an easy job for a non gunsmith guy?

Hmm... Kentucky boy with an Anderson lower (Ky) and a Doublestar upper (Ky) in 6.8spc (developed at Ft Campbell KY 15 miles from where I grew up. I actually met some of the guys who did development and testing) it just seems right to me. I love my rifle, and it means a lot to me. The lower was one of the first birthday gifts I got from my wife as well.Hard not to like something made in Winchester, Kentucky!
