About this episode

John and Kailey discuss precision AR manufacturing with Scott Melton of Stellar Arms.

In the first episode of Season 3, John and Kailey sit down with Scott Melton of Stellar Arms, a precision AR manufacturer with aerospace roots. From SpaceX-level tolerances to CNC-machined, diamond-cut “Executive” rifles, Stellar Arms builds AR-15 platforms designed for performance, reliability, and legacy. We cover what sets a precision AR apart, why tight tolerances matter for accuracy, custom coatings and engraved limited editions, collaborations with Dana White and Andrei Arlovski, and the growing renaissance of guns as both tools and art. ----------------------- Thanks to Palmetto State Armory for sponsoring our guest gear!
