[QUOTE="CAR-AR-M16, post: 1634937, member: 204"] I am not trying to argue with you, just trying to point out that most stuff that is said to be "mil-spec" is not. A true Mil-Spec might specify that ALL Barrels and Bolts will be magnetic particle inspected and proof load fired. If company XYZ only does this to every other Barrel and Bolt, then they cannot say that their parts meet "mil-spec". Also, the mil-spec may say that every 50th part will be tested to destruction to verfy strength, meterials, etc.. If company XYZ does not do this, then again, they cannot say their parts meet "mil-spec". If the mil-spec says that a certain part must be inspected by an Ordnance Corps officer for compliance, then again, company XYZ cannot say their parts meet "mil-spec". Just remember one thing, mil-spec is a minimum standard. There are a lot of parts that are probably better than "mil-spec". Lastly, you are correct in that no lower can be truly "mil-spec" unless it is select fire, but just because a lower is select fire does not mean it is mil-spec. Here is a picture of one of my lower receivers and it is select fire, but it is NOT mil-spec (and yes, it is properly registered).
