Adams Arms Patrol .308 Winchester - Green, 16" Barrel, 20 Rounds

I purchased this rifle a year ago and have experienced the exact same problems as Ryan D. The rifle will cycle weak ammo, such as Winchester white box, but quality ammo won't cycle. Additionally, I can shoot tighter groups with a 9mm glock at 100 yards than I can with this rifle. I suspect that the bore is way too tight. This would explain the accuracy and extreme pressure issues.

I tend to wait until after I have actually been able to use the product before I review it, but unfortunately I have still not been able to use the product. When I purchased the rifle I inspected it thoroughly at the FFL as Buds says you should. Everything appeared to be good, so I proceeded with the purchase prior to firing it at the range I again was inspecting everything, and during that process I was unable to extract a round from the chamber with the charging handle. I had the same issue with various rounds and brands of ammunition. Even hitting the buttstock on the ground while pulling on the charging handle was not enough to jar the round loose. The only way I was able to get a round out was by pushing with a steel tube down the end of the barrel. Because of this, I was not comfortable firing it until it was inspected. So I contacted Adams Arms and told them what was going on, and that I had not even fired the gun yet, so they had me send it in to them. I was notified that it could take 4-8 weeks for the return. I thought 8 weeks was them covering themselves for worst case scenarios. It has now been 9 weeks, and I have followed up twice now. If something takes that long, I would expect at least a periodic status update. I got a response to my initial inquiry in the 4-5 week period, but my second request for an update (1 week ago) has not been answered yet. Unfortunately my review at this point is solely based on their customer service, which has not left me with a good impression. I had very high hopes for this product, and after much research on the product and reviews felt I was getting a great product. I can understand and live with a bad apple leaving the factory, as long as they take care of it. As of yet, I can not say that they've taken care of the problem, I wish I could say otherwise. This has greatly reduced my confidence in this product. when I bought it, I was dead set on it, after having spent months of research on which product I wanted, but now I'm not sure I even want it any more. This review is not a negative reflection of budsgunshop.com. I would have no problem purchasing another product through them. I wish I could say the same for Adams Arms.
