Fulton black hawk down rifle

Do you have any Fulton rifles? Is a Lexus better than a Ford? Don't knock it if you haven't tried it.

My Fulton AR15 shoots < 1 MOA

Fulton Armory advertised it as “more than a clone.” It’s also priced at 4K after taxes and shipping. So with that…the expectations will be high.

Im pretty sure Randy Stughart’s rifle had:

GI Bolt
GI Barrel
A scope mount other than theirs
His stock wasn’t black but was painted
It’s missing the Faux selector switch

If you are going to advertise it’s more than a clone with a matching price tag then it is expected to be exactly the same rifle other than a receiver. It’s nothing more than a gimmick.

I have a rifle built with a FA receiver and it’s nice and I didn’t say their rifles were trash. I just said this was a gimmick which it is as I discussed

LD06490 hit it right on the head, this seems to be a marketing ploy and a not very good one at that. Fulton’s marketing team could at least get the facts straight and not spread misinformation.

SFC. Shughart was part of Operation Gothic Serpent, not Operation Restore Hope. Restore Hope was 1992 under Bush. Gothic Serpent was in 1993 under Clinton. Humanitarian vs capture DA mission.

‘Shughart valiantly fought off enemy forces and saved the lives of several of his fellow soldiers’.

The only survivor was Durant. Super 64’s crew (Tommy Field, Bill Cleveland, Ray Frank. Mike Durant) survived the crash but were killed along with Gordon and Shughart in the following firefight. Again, Fulton’s team is writing some revisionist history here.

‘In honor of Randy Shughart's legacy, Fulton Armory has developed our own iteration of the famous Shughart M14. Crafted with high-quality parts and designed to replicate the look and feel of the original rifle. More than just a "clone" our tribute M14 Black Hawk DMR is exactly how we would assemble a Delta Force rifle used during an urban mission to protect a downed Black Hawk helicopter and its crew.’

So, I’m confused. Is it to replicate the look and feel of the original rifle or is it a tribute to how Fulton would assemble a delta force rifle for a mission to protect a down Black Hawk. Those are two totally different things. I don’t see anything that screams Black Hawk down when I look at that rifle. The rifle looks like an unfinished accurizing job, they didn’t even fit a bipod stud or a fake selector switch LOL.

Man, this reminds me of the stuff you’d see back in the 00’s debating that rifle.
