[QUOTE="Beercules, post: 826173, member: 4713"] Sort of... MIL-SPEC is simply a standard for a given product covered by that specification and the referenced drawing. A different product than that governed by the MIL-SPEC will obviously not meet the standard. An AR-15 of any flavor will never meet the MIL-SPEC for an M4A1; if it did it would be an M4A1. For at least some of the requirements, better or worse than MIL-SPEC is extremely subjective. The KAC SR-15 IWS E3 is not an M16/M4 series MIL-SPEC gun, but is commonly held to be a top tier weapon. KAC does not shot-peen or MPT the bolts as the MIL-SPEC for the M16/M4 series specifies. Should they? :D ETA: If you don't have a problem with the CMMG bargain bin guns (I'm not saying you should or shouldn't), $650 doesn't sound too shabby considering the situation. You get to inspect the rifle before hand and don't have to pay shipping and transfer fee in addition to sales tax. $50 seems worth the trouble to me. [/QUOTE]
