Just noticed our local AR manufacturer here in CT is now basically offering a mill-spec option for the current line of AR's. For $100 you get the following:
For those wanting a rifle with extra testing and also with features for the constant firing of 5.56 ammunition Stag Arms offers the Plus Package. This package includes individual Magnetic Particle (MP) and High Pressure (HP) testing of the bolt and barrel, upgraded barrel steel, and other features listed below. Available only as a complete package.

It is nice to see stag offering an option to compete with other more fully featured AR's. I was quoted just a little over $900 for a model 2 +.
