FN can't use the tdp to produce civilian guns. Their military contract guns are built with better materials to higher standards.
This has been documented with things such as receiver extensions made out of lower grades of aluminum, no castle nut staking, and various other things.
After a LOT of research I learned the civilian variants are not even in the same league as the military counterparts.
After a lot of research I learned that the colt6920, scionics, danial defense, and many other companies products are built to a higher standard with better parts than the civilian FN guns... And for better prices.
I found it to be a bummer because I really like the FN rollmark, but in the end one is way better off buying a Colt.
