Anybody have any experience with their ARs? I'm in the market for a medium-high end AR and they have me intrigued. They're relatively new to the scene but from what I can tell they have very impressive stuff.
Their triggers are phenomenal and that's how they started to make their name in the industry. Their rifles look amazing too. I'm close to grabbing one. Just asking around to see if anyone has anything bad to say.

Is that the aerospace company that got into gun manufacturing?

At that price, the question is do you take them over Daniel Defense, Geiselle, etc. that all have a lengthy and positive reputation for $2000-$2400?

A buddy of mine has one ..they are top notch AR’s and barrels are super accurate with that taper lock system they invented …only problem is there’s like a 6-8 month wait. Check out TYPE-A too they make some high quality stuff

The wait is avoidable if you aren't picky. If you look around there are a few current generation Blackout DTL rifles being sold by some online retailers. They're already fully assembled so you obviously can't piece them together and colorize them exactly how you want like you can directly from Blackout, but they still come with the same bells and whistles.
Type A is actually one of the others I'm considering along with ADM and Radian.
And to the person that brought up the Geiselle/Daniel argument, I already have a DDM4 upper on a Colt lower it's an absolute tank. That's what I'm grabbing when the zombies come but it's a very overgassed system and not that much fun to shoot. For this rifle I really want something finely tuned from the factory, tight, fast and fun to shoot at the range or course. Honestly I want to buy my first Gucci gun just because I can.

I could be wrong but the wait is on complete rifles. You can order parts all day long.

Kinda yes and kinda no.
Barrel manufacturing and quality assurance seems to be the cause of the delays. Complete rifles and complete upper receivers are delayed.
Stripped uppers and lowers seem to be available but you cannot get their dual taper lock barrel nuts unless you wait and buy something with a barrel included and installed.
