HP testing is being questioned as a standard now, thought to reduce bolt life. The well respected Centurion arms is following suit with their bolts. Batch MPI? Yes. Id be interested in knowing batch sizes compared to batch sizes of other companies myself.
They are now using billet gas keys. Is there documentation of billet keys failing sooner than forged? We are all familiar with the technicality of billet is weaker than forged as it relates to receivers, just curious if billet keys are known to fail sooner than forged, and at what point this failure occurred.
The "nice exterior treatment" isn't applied to make it easier to clean. You know that's just an added benefit. Reduced friction, increased lubricity, and longevity of life (tbd) would be the goal here (this is nothing new).
Drawing your honest opinion without actually using one is your priority. Attempting to convince others of its inferiority with broad generalizations and narrow comparisons has me wondering why you hang around itt to begin with.
