Just mid level guns good not the best not the worst lowers are good. Don't think they forge their own stuff. The web site shows a keyhole upper which every one uses. Barrels have no idea who makes them. Guess Wilson or ER Shaw.
$995 is too high for an AR. You need to get with some of these guys in Denver and they can guide you in building a good AR for about $600.00 and then donate the extra $400 to your Ammo supply.
For a little more $$ a 1/8 twist is a good all around start for a barrel, WOA 18" SPR barrel is a great barrel.
