[QUOTE="JD8, post: 3563548, member: 24"] Nope. I honestly have NO idea what you mean by "non mil spec" parts costing three times as much. Anyhoo... take a SOLGW Bolt carrier vs Colt for example. Both are quality, both in a similar price range. Both are HPMPT. Colt uses their gold spring, SOLGW uses sprinco. Microbest makes both. However, SOLGW test fires each one on full auto. I could go on and on with several other parts/examples if need be? In addition, Colt has been extremely inconsistent with regards to QC. Also, there's that pesky fact that they got sued a few years back for outsourcing their parts. SO you see some people worship Colt and they were an industry frontrunner at one point, however, those days have passed and several shops have take advantage of their lack of decent business practices. None of this is to say that Colt is garbage, it's just to say that it's not nearly the high standard many used to hold it to be. Given today's pricing, or recent pricing, you're better off with SOLGW, FN, BCM, or LWRC to name a few. [/QUOTE]
