That said, their looking to make a buck in a market that is ever shrinking after Newtown, and the more desperate these companies get for our dollars the more options we have
    The reason I asked the question is that from what I have read here, the FN civilian ARs are not up to the same standards that one would expect from a top tier AR maker.

    They have a noncompete clause with Colt if I'm not mistaken, someone on here knows a lot more than me on this. However their barrels that are manufactured for other companies are thought to be quite good, the point that Markm and others are trying to make is that often times manufactures like to cut corners on some of their products when they produce for the civilian market, this remains to be seen from FN on these barrels, however is not out side the realm of possibility. I was making the point that firearm manufactures are trying to drum up sales to help this years bottom line, which won't be near post Newtown levels.

    Only the MK18 stacks up to mil-spec. The DPMS couldn't be farther from it.

    But some of those DD's are ridiculously over-gassed... which is what I'm getting at. If FN pulls that crap so booger eaters can run Tula ammo, then there's no upside to these barrels hitting the market for serious AR shooters.

    The upside would be that the price for FN barrels coming from other manufactures ( hopefully still made to more exacting standards) would most likely drop to compensate for these FN barrels. The way I think about it is, would a guy buy the Mountain Series from Rainier when he knows he can get the same barrels with out going through the middle man. Even if they are compromised.
