Greetings,
The term "Mil- spec" is commonly misunderstood. It is of coarse a Specification regarding the manufacturing tolerances that have to be met by Government Military Contractors. These "Specs" are a required starting point when looking to purchase an M4 or AR15 type rifle. But to truly be "Mil-Spec" it must be manufactured & signed off by a Military Contractor. There are "Black Rifles" on the market that exceed "Mil-Spec" quality. I feel that this is very important to be aware of, especially for someone that's new to the "Black Rifle" market. It's something I though I'd mention. GOD BLESS OUR TROOPS!!!

The problem with this statement is that almost none of these manufacturers that CLAIM to "exceed 'Mil-Spec'" actually do so. Meaning they are either liars or morons.

Robb, I read and re-read your post with interest. Being I didn't know much about the AR, I wanted to make sure I knew all I could before spending the money on one.

I took a course on AR's at a local range. This allowed me to hold and shoot two different AR'S made by two different Manufacturers. The Instructor was an
Ex-Military Weapons Instructor in the Army. This Instructor gave me enough information on the various AR's on the market today, he did tell me by brand which ones to stay away from, but in no way swayed me into a certain make. After talking to him about some of what you said I ended up purchasing my AR a few weeks ago.

I purchased a Colt AR, LE, 6920. This rifle will definitely handle the small amount of shooting I plan on doing this year until I become a member of the local range. Once that happens I plan on doing a lot more shooting. So I figured I'd spend the money now and get what I wanted, and what would do the job. Plus of course I did read your post and wanted to thank you for doing people like myself a favor.

I know with the information you provided to us, plus what I learned from the Instructor I believe I made an educated choice, thanks to you both.

Thanks again! Great Info.

Theres a technical discussion in itself. What have you been tinkering with lately Jerry?

Just read this for the first time. An amazing amount of information all in one place. This should be required reading for new and potential owners. Hell, even old "seasoned" owners probably learned a thing or two. Thank you for taking the time to compile the information.
