[QUOTE="NikatKimber, post: 1407139, member: 423"] I'm glad someone got some humor out of that! I won't say a Noveske isn't worth the money, or that I don't want one (I'd love one!!) But each user needs to honestly evaluate their needs/wants before shelling out ANY money. For me, what I have has been great. But I'm a "hobby shooter"... I've put less than 1k through my gun in the 2 years I've owned it. It's served me well. It's not a SHTF gun, nor a duty gun, and I have no requirement for it to run 1k a day classes right now either. For people who *will* be competing, or patrolling, or going into harms way with the gun, it may well be worth the $$$ for a top end gun. Personally, I'd think anyone new to ARs on a $1k budget (total) would be better served by the $499 Del-Ton special in the classifieds, and $501 worth of ammo, vs $980 on a gun and a box of 20 rounds at Walmart. In reference to Mil-Spec, I don't know how the Mil spec is worded, but for the most part, specs are the minimum acceptable. So technically it would be "Made to Mil-Spec or better." IE, hold all else constant, would a 1/2 moa barrel be Mil-Spec? Yes, even if Spec calls for 2 moa. 1/2 moa meets the 2 moa requirement. If Mil-Spec called for bolt machining to be done to +/- 0.005", and a company built theirs to +/- 0.001", they meet the Mil-Spec. Just like if I build my house, I won't make it "to" the codes, it will exceed them. [/QUOTE]
