[QUOTE="CAR-AR-M16, post: 2821380, member: 204"] Not trying to argue or be a "know it all", but most AR's are not mil-spec. A lot of the budget rifles use 4140 steel and non-chrome-lined barrels (mil-spec calls for 4150 steel and chrome lining). Most budget AR's use 6061 aluminum for the receiver extension (mil-spec calls for 7075). Most budget AR's use Bolts that are randomly tested (1 in 10) or not tested at all (mil-spec calls for all Bolts to be magnafluxed and high-pressure tested). Unless you run your AR very hard, that vast majority of us will probably never see any difference between a true mil-spec AR and a budget brand. I believe that is the point you were trying to make.
