Guys who have been on this board for awhile mostly all know this, but I would not want a newer person reading this to misunderstand. These are the closest thing legal for us to buy off the shelf which is fully "milspec". Then again, not many people would probably want to buy a rifle which proclaimed "almost sorta milspec" on the box.
Unless you were referring to the OAL being 16" with a perm-attached FH (yeah, I'm splitting hairs), the one I have from 2018 indeed has a 14.5" barrel with a perm-attached A2 FH and some kind of little spacer nut behind it that makes 16" total. Actually doesn't look bad and won't affect function, so.....
Are the remarks about the trigger group literal or something more, i.e. the trigger, disconnector, and hammer are obviously not FA but aren't they made with the same components (metallurgy, hardening included) as the mil-spec ones? Not being sarcastic at all, I'm genuinely interested. We all know what happens when you "ass-u-me" (courtesy of Ft. Benning, circa 1983) so I don't want to read too much into what you said or didn't say.
