AR Billet Receivers vs Forged Receivers . . .



Everyone says Forged is stronger . . . Maybe, maybe not  . . .

But what does that mean to you . . . Nothing. Both will work for you. For me I like the look of crisp lines on a billet lower and the precision of a matched set. WITAC has built ours to our specifications and they are tight . . . No clinking sound when you shake it . . . No one will here you coming.

The truth is in the beholder . . . You need to know what you’re looking for in an AR? Do you want an AR that is functional or do you want a light weight precision beauty?

A forged lower may be great for you . . . But a good billet build is superior because of the tolerances adhered to. Typically billet builders are more concerned with building the best firearm and that starts with a precise base, the upper and lower receiver. A matched upper and lower set is had when you go to your dealer and test the fit of your upper and lower before you buy. . . When we sell a matched set, we’ve already tested the fit.

And then you add barrels, bolt carrier groups, triggers, buffer tubes, buffer springs, buffers, flash hiders, gas blocks, sights, etc.  to your build . . . And each piece will determine the precision of your firearm.

The AR platform was designed as an A2 style rifle . . . That means a plastic stock, plastic triangle handguard, carry handle . . . Vietnam comes to mind . . . Soldiers tested to make sure they could shoot accurately at 100 to 400 yards on iron sights . . . And that platform has evolved to where it is today. Still the cheapest platform and then it goes up from there.

A Successful Deer Hunt Starts With You . . .


Avoid the rush, act now.

Every year customers wait till the last minute to have their favorite hunting rifles worked on . . . Sometimes they forget,  something broke the last time they were in the field. Let's face it, we're human. All the time Wisconsin Tactical gunsmiths get rifles that don't cycle . . . They don't know what a clean rag looks like. Others are so gummed up by oil . . .

A hit or miss usually depends on you . . . And it happens when a deer wanders into your area, you raise your rifle. There he is in your cross hairs and you pull the trigger . . . and CLICK . . . Not the BANG you expected and then comes the should have's . . . I should have cleaned my gun. Damn it, this happened last you and I never got to the gunsmith. I should have test fired my gun. I should have sighted it in . . . I should have . . .

WITAC Gunsmiths don't just wipe your firearm with oil . . .
We start with a DCOA, Disassemble, Clean, Oil, and Assembly of Rifle, Shotgun,  or Handgun. The firearm is completely stripped, and all parts are  inspected for wear. If parts are needed they are ordered and replaced. ( This in some instances could take weeks). The firearm is lubricated where and only where needed and re-assemble to factory specs . . . If not by your gunsmith at least take out your firearm and visually inspect / clean.
Safety Check of a firearm to ensure that it is in good working condition and safe to fire. 
Test Firing - A firearm always should be test fired in a safe manner after gunsmithing . . . Always test fire your gun before you go to the field.

And once you get your rifle back from the gunsmith . . . You must, sight it in . . . Go to the range and zero your scope in . . . Shoot your firearm. It may pull to the left, and that may be fine for you because you have always compensated . . . Still the important thing, YOU KNOW . . .
