I can understand why SAW refuses to do this package with non-Colt rifles like those from Tier 3 manufacturers Bushmaster, DPMS, Armalite, Model 1 Sales, etc., but why won't he do the upgrades for rifles from companies such as BCM, DD, and Noveske that adhere very closely to the TDP? Is this an indicator that there may be something inherently problematic in the Colt production and quality control process that Colt is missing?
