We have to ask ourselves what is the true intend of the chart? After reading it, it's telling me that the only "true milspec" AR is made by Colt (no big scoop here) therefore the other brands are not. SO THEN WHAT?
Are we suppose to think that all the other brands (than Colt) aren't as good or are no good? Or that the more you have milspec features the better you are?
I'm sure that the soldiers on duty don't give a s**t about milspec, they just want their AR to work when it's supposed to.
For civies like us, is milspec a good thing or a must? Maybe not... Depends on what you want your AR for. We don't necessarily need M4 feed ramps, 1:7 twist (if you shoot 55gr-62gr 99% of the time like me, 1:9 is plenty good), 5.56 chamber (we're shooting .223 rem...), double heat shield handguards (heck many of us went with railed handguards), foward assist, dust cover, etc...
Personally I don't give a rat's ass about the chart. It looks like it was made to promote some brands and bash others. I will probably never get a Colt because of the price they are selling up here plus I don't have any special attraction to that brand (I don't NEED a Colt in my goodies to sleep well at night). I own an Armalite and a Stag, so far they work flawlessly for me and they cost much less than the "more milspec" ones.
So Walt, I know it must be irritating to see false info going around, but I besides that "so what"... Stags are reliable and affordable and that's what most of us are looking for.
