    Was it the taiwanese YFS bolts on the right that gave it away?

    It's actually very easy. LMT has MIM gas key and you can see the little circle between two bolts that's left from that process.

    Del-ton...another shit brand. Freedom Group should buy them to add to their collection of shitty AR makers.

    There is a decidedly devious backsplash from The Chart.

    Some companies are using it as a checklist for marketing purposes. This means that they need to find other ways to cut corners/costs. Softer than spec screws and pins, suspect carrier key material, incorrect MPI rejection criteria, lower than spec pressure in HPT, incorrect shot-peening method... the list goes on and on. The Chart revision that I'm working on attempts to address some of this, but these cost cutting measures are far more devious, far easier to lie about, and much harder to check. Looking at carrier key staking is easy. Getting metallurgical testing done to see what material the key is made from is another matter entirely.

    No offense to you or Rob and all the hard work and time he puts into that stuff, but why care about what the next "Chart" will say and just buy guns everyone already knows are at the top?

    This is a good point.

    Even as the keeper of The Chart, I am constantly amazed at the fervor it causes, and how antsy people get about this brand or that brand being on it. For a standard, M4 pattern AR carbine, there are four brands I would personally consider and I would chose them based on my budget and acknowledge that there would be sacrifices for doing same. I see absolutely no reason in the universe to deviate from those brands. There are others that offer, IMHO, more than the standard M4 in terms of barrel quality, gas-tube length, or virtual redesign of the platform, but for a base model there are four.

    I know, it was more of a subtle jab at offshore parts being used by certain companies.
