re: Official AR-15 thread

DPMS had quality issues when they joined into the AR market, like many companies that did when the AR platform was first introduced, and those problems with cheaper prices gave people their reasoning

But you are absolutely right about the broad scope of "milspec." In particular, the fit and spacing of high quality lowers is what sets them apart from the crowd, not just rollmarks and cosmetic features. Anyone who denies that is just regurgitating forum group think.
