I'm not that familiar with OEM manufactures, so I wouldn't really infer who made them. Maybe you could put it bluntly haha.
I see that their detents are nitride. That's cool. I'm not sure how that would compare to what I am guessing is TiN on the detents that came with my CMMG lpk/Battle Arms takedown pins. I like nitride and I'm surprised more parts are just standard nitride like castle nuts, bolt catch, magazine release, etc.
Yeah, I would love to give Sionics some business. However, once you factor in shipping cost it is a $3 difference between getting Sionics springs/detents/roll pins and all Colt from Brownells -without a coupon. I could call them up and see if there is any difference between the parts, as I do not know what the mil-spec is for detents, springs, etc.
Moreover, a direct comparison of Sionics/Colt to WOA reveals a 3-4x price difference. No one seems to list specs for the detents/springs so I am just flying blind on if they are directly comparable. If there is one thing this forum did to me, it's that it made me paranoid about differences in quality between companies.
I seem to have to rely on trust of a company. For instance, I used the takedown springs included with my B.A.D. enhanced takedown pins (and they sell them separately) and I assume the quality of those springs is on par with Colt/Sionics just because the company puts out quality parts.

Nope. Regular guy. In fact, my best friend who is the Army thought it was hilarious to get me a shirt that says "Hello, my name is Jodie." And I refuse to wear it out of fear of getting my ass beat. Most of my friends/family is, but they all (especially my Dad) dissuaded me. We'll see how it works out though. I got to lose a ton of weight if I ever wanted to be mil/cop.
You're preaching to the choir, man. Not even gonna waste my time typing out a lengthy response.
To the OP, just buy what you can afford. The statistical likelihood that you're gonna actually need a spare detent or takedown spring? Not very high. And if you do, and you use something that's not-Colt, so what? Is your gun going to magically stop functioning? No. It'll be just fine until you're able to replace it with a Colt (or whatever brand) part, if that satisfies your OCD.
You guys are overthinking this shit, but hey by all means, if you wanna pay 400% more for a spare, that's your money--you're free to spend it how you want.

I tend to agree with ^Rb. I'm having a hard time believing there is a big difference (if any) between a 50 cent detent from WOA and a $2 detent from Colt/Sionics.
However, is there any resource for what metals/specs the small receiver parts should be made to?
The batch I bought a couple years ago weren't nitrided. All I know is they improved the safety's function, so I am going to stick with them.
In fact, I just ordered 3 of these to try out: https://knsprecisioninc.com/spare-re...ining-pin.html
