Milspec is just a word.
Like I posted in another thread, is there anyone here who is capable of identifying the min and max OD of a bolt carrier group, for an AR 102 according to milspec?
Can someone provide a link to the part of the milspec that talks about those tabs, and what level of ugly falls within milspec?
CH length, ear location, sizes, dimensions with min and max tolerance?
They produce a rifle - people whine. They address some of the whining - people continue to whine.
I get the legit issues (BCGs rough finish, etc)
A long while ago, I figured it out that Lego only fits with Lego. All other copies and aftermarket may or may not fit. With the number of manufacturers of there, I don't care what they are pedalling, and by what spec, some fit and finish items might take manual love.
But people want to be able to bolt up things with absolutely no need to use any brain matter or skills required. You might have to invest in good tools, otherwise.
I've purchased and received dented, scratched, damaged items from many manufacturers. I don't see the need to lose my mind. Contact them and correct it, life goes on. How many hands handled that item before you received it? But you know it is the manufacturers fault. You dust cover is bent? Boo hoo. Pick up the phone and get it sorted out.
Machining marks in the fluting? Who gives a rats azz? Does that make the rifle not work anymore? What does it affect? I didn't buy mine for shiny sh!t. I bought it to shoot. Otherwise I would have waited for the ultra high gloss OD green model, and made a nice velvet backlit showcase to display it in.
Now that I have had my coffee, I'm going to the dump, then going to go shoot my BCL 102, and whatever rifles and handguns we prefer, for the rest of the day, with my wife until we both feel of burnt gunpowder.
A perfect date.
