[QUOTE="KurtM, post: 1408092, member: 6064"] Guys, Don't get me wrong here, I am not ANTI Mil Spec. If two bolt and carrier setups were laying side by side and I knew one was mil spec and the other I didn't know I would grab the mil spec. Would I buy a mil spec barrel...YES but for burning out not for general use, WHY? Because I want more out of my barrels than can be provided by a mil spec barrel. I also would buy any of the ABCS parts without reservation. I also wouldn't touch the mil spec bolt and carrier if a good J.P. unit was on the table next to it. I would NEVER run a mil spec trigger...unless it is in a full auto gun and even then I have run J.P.s in them as well. There was a time when in order to get quality parts it was advised to buy Mil Spec, but these days anything you get from a major manufacturer is good gear. Does anyone really think that Bushmaster doesn't do all they can to make a good rifle when they know DPMS, SABER, ARMALITE and a host of other makers could take away all their market? DO you really think DPMS would continue to make junk? As for a rifle or carbine that "has to work" that is up to you! For a rifle I depend on, it is fired often, it is cleaned and oil more often and everytimne I have it apart it is thouroughly inspected and all screws and fasteners checked, and any wear part CLOSELY inspected....it matters not who made it in todays world, if it has survived the intitial 1000 rounds you are adequate to travel....which is "non operator" for "Good to Go".
