Example: Colt made a lot of 1911 pistols. Mine had Singer stamped on the slide and it did not shoot any worse than the Colts.
Priority 1 is to provide our front line personnel with a reliable carbine. Priority 2 is to get the best bang for the buck for our tax dollar.
Don't forget what happened to the Tiger Shark fighter jet that Chuck Yeager said the military should buy at a considerable savings over the F-15. Politics prevailed and we paid a ton of money for the F-15, which was marginally better than the Tiger Shark.
