Just saw this video (sorry I haven't figured out how to imbed yet)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05kMZhc0N7c&feature=youtube_gdata_player Colt M4 Commando rollmark shows early in the video. Feeling bad for Augee already! Anyone know if this available on civilian market? ETA: correctrd link |

In the video, what were they refering to when they said "100% milspec"?
GOV supplied or consumer supplied rifles? Civy milspec would be a rifle that has evey milspec feature allowed by law. Colt civy rifles are far from milspec rifles when taking into account or exempting each feature that is not allowed by law. 1. Selector stops, allowed by law and are milspec yet colt wont include them. 2. Sear blocks, not required by law yet Colt includes them. The milling specs is far from civy legal and far from civy milspec. 3. the word FIRE instead of SEMI stamped on the rifle. SEMI would be more milspec and civy legal. Colt actually goes more than is needed by law and thus their civy rifles are less milspec than others. A crappy civy bushmaster is far more milspec than a civy colt. Many companies make a AR-15 rifle far more milspec with milspec selector stops, the word SEMI and no sear blocks. |

If you're going to nitpick - please reseach the terms you are nit-picking. I assure you - current Colt civilian rifles adhere more closely to both the Technical Data Package and the MIL-SPECs for both the M4 Carbine and the M16 than anything Bushmaster does or has produced. Selector stops and FIRE and SEMI? Is this really the strongest argument you have? The sear pocket is irrelevant because no AR15 sear pocket, high shelf, low shelf, or webbed, conforms to the sear pocket on an M4 or M16. ~Augee |

No, That would most likely be the R0933 / R0935 M16 Commando. R0933 / Safe-Semi-Auto, 11.5" Barrel R0935 / Safe-Semi-Burst, 11.5" Barrel The LE6933 Safe-Semi, 11.5" Barrel is the LEM4 rollmark. Thanks for the info, sir. Oh, how I would love to have one in the collection!

I sometimes wish I had you to reference to when I see so much crazy stuff on the Net... Like when I read about Colt must be making crap because they lost the DoD Contract... Anyway, I always learn something from you guys... Augee.. Shawn.. (edit- and Predator)... And God Bless Colt's Manufacturing Company... |

Many companies make a AR-15 rifle far more milspec with milspec selector stops, the word SEMI and no sear blocks. 1. Selector stops? Who cares? Did you know Colt designed a rifle with 3 round burst and full auto so it had 4 positions of fire? They milled them off so the selector would spin all the way around. 2. Sear blocks? Welcome to 1998. There have been no sear blocks in a long time. There is currently a sear web but it does not affect function. It actually makes the lower stronger and no semi-auto lower reciever of any brand is milled the same as a military rifle. Not all of them without the web even have a low shelf to use a lightning link or RDIAS but if you own a RDIAS having the lower milled is a very minor problem. There is no semi-auto rifle available that meets the mil-spec for machining in this area. 3. Fire stamped on rifles? Really that's all? There have been batches of early Colt 6920 rifles that had the semi marking but they quit that long ago. Many companies put the word fire onto the receiver. It doesn't matter either way as most of the markings are different on all semi-auto receivers of all brands and NONE of them match a military issued lower completely. Bushmaster huh? You need to research barrel steel, twist rates, front sight and carry handle heights, plastic trigger guards, poor quality handguards, only batch MP testing barrels, no MP testing on the bolts at all, inproperly staked gas keys, incorrectly sized buffer tube diameter, improper buffer weight....the list goes on and on for what is not milspec on a Bushmaster. Current production Colt is so much closer than Bushmaster it gets exhausting listing what all is wrong on the Bushmaster. |
