The only reason I ask is because I know during a production cycle that some of the listed manufactures change suppliers mid cycle. For example Company X, uses Cardinal Forge recievers, CF may not have enough supply to meet Companys X requirements so they goto another supplier, in an effort to go out orders. This could definitely change some of info on the chart on an a regular basis. I am not going to signup at M4carbine just to discuss this topic.

I didn't realize that signing up there was such a hardship, but OK. The reason that changes are discussed there is because that site is where it originated and I can't go chasing all over the 'net to every site that the chart has been reposted on trying to track down various claims of it being incorrect. If you don't have something specific to correct then it's probably not necessary for you to sign up anyway.

Your point is well taken, although to use your example, changing uppers will rarely change anything of consequence on the chart since a manufacturer would also have to change their barrels if they wanted to change their feedramps, feedramps being the only issue on the chart that pertains to the upper.

As I've said before elsewhere, the fact that the target keeps shifting when dealing with manufacturers on the far right side of the chart, and stays pretty much constant on the left is a further indication of the kind of quality you can expect from those that adhere to no standard.

Bravo Company, while not on the chart because they only do uppers, is a good example of this. They do EVERYTHING right on the uppers they make. Consequently they have not had any uppers available to sell for at least a year, maybe more. If they were a lesser company they would have just shifted barrel makers and trucked on, perhaps with a lower quality product. They manufacture to a very high standard, and as such they produce a very high quality product, and as such their list of features, specs, and QA procedures never fluctuates.

No kidding. I wish the U.S. OPM would finish my background investigation so I can get to the FLETC and order one with the LEO discount. =:e

In the days of the old west a 6 shooter was as common as cell phones are today and just annoying if they go off in a theater.

no appreciation for art of sarcasm LOL you guys are killing me....wait let me clarify the sticky part was sarcastic the excellent post part was honest.

I had copied this to a file I keep on technical stuff then lost it when my PC crashed, so now I’m going back over the whole forum try to remember everything I had gathered. Would also be cool to have a sticky reference for all the product reviews members have done rather then have to use the search feature.

LOL it seems fishy in a sticky kidna way. I don’t remember if it was this forum or a truck forum that had a post reference sticky in the general discussion area, it was really helpful finding all the stuff you thought was cool but forgot where you read it
