I love that word... fit. I've always been curious what people check the fit of? Fit is pointless. Most brands, even the lower end, will be within "spec of fit". As was stated above what really matters are the things CAR listed.
Yeah ok. People are just suckers and pay hundreds of dollars more for better anodizing huh?

yeah as a matter of fact they do in a lot of cases! Sorry if that trips your trigger, but it is my opinion of a whole lot of the lower end ar's. mil-spec is mil-spec. if someone wants to $50 extra for a certain roll mark, go right ahead. But not in the too long past, Colts and bushmasters were the same price on the rack. just my opinion. Now don't get a mad and bring up really high end stuff, cause that is not what we are talkin about here. we are talking off the shelf laymans rifles.
Didn't you know that?
Anodizing is what it is all about. Proper steel, MP testing, proof firing, shot peening of bolts, proper staking, quality control and everything else is just fluff.
To the op... If it's a factory complete all CMMG rifle I think $650 is fair. Now if it's a bargain bin one he's jacked the price on then....

Thank you and Josh for putting words in my mouth. Finish when it comes to home constructions refers to the exterior appearance, proper fit of parts, and all the things you mentioned. Guess this is a thorn in your sides. Having carried and used a colt for many years as a working tool. I can say there "finish" meaning, appearance, durability and how well it as a unit was put together and functioned was all part of finish. That and it was prettier. oh by the way, fit and finish does cover what the ar gurus put labels on. No need to complicate things with cool lingo. An ar is a tool, just like a hammer. You get what you pay for. A colt cost more because it is better made. a lower end roggio receiver is a hammer that might be in spec, but it is good enough if the price is right.
Ok now I have no clue what you're talking about.
First you say the only difference is finish and by finish you don't mean actual finish, milspec is milspec, laymans rifles, $50 rollmarks and now you get what you pay for?
I'm confused.
BTW according to someone on this website CMMG is considered "high quality".
I don't know why milspec is ever even part of the argument. Milspec is a minimum requirement.
