    Rob, thanks for your efforts in compiling this invaluable reference source. Amazing that a compilation of facts can create controversy in some circles. Its really simple, you either feel the info is useful to you or not. If not, then ignore and move on. If it is useful, then you have facts at your fingerprints that would be almost impossible to reproduce on your on.

    So now, in essence, we just have a chart where everything is 95%+ the same.
    I hate to even ask this, but are we going to start recommending Stag's newer rifles?

    Can we get a member here to examine one or something?

    I'm more interested in seeing crappy companies like Stag get better than seeing reputable companies like LMT, and Colt get placed at the top of the chart.

    I mean... we already knew they'd be some of the best, I want to see the shit-peddlers get their game together. I had more faith in Stag than the others though. I guess we know why now.
    We miss you, AC.
    We miss you, ToddG.

    Alphabetical ? I like it !!

    Now , I hope Armalite steps up with official info ...
    (yes , as a collector of "original" Armalite firearms , I am a bit of a "fan boy" for Armalite )
    To an extent, they have. Armalite maintains a Tech Library they post on their website and several of the fetaures on the chart are explained in their Tech Library posts. That's official-enough for me, although it would be nice if they could just provide the same info to Rob so he could more easily incorporate it. I'm not sure if every aspect of Rob's chart is covered, but several are.

    Thumbs up

    Rob, I appreciate your unbiased approach. It is nice to have an objective eye on the multitudes of options and you have saved me a TON of time. Thank you!

    lol already people bitching about it on Glock Talk (no surprise though).
    There is so much butthurt on that website it's laughable. It's unreadable most of the time. Guys don't understand why you dont swoon every time they post pics of their new DPMS zombie killer.

    Rob, thanks for the work on the chart. Looking forward to the final additions. Since some companies are refusing to send documents back, is there any thought of including info from the old chart with an asterisk or something saying that it may not be he most current or up to date info (due to company compliance of course)

    Another "Thank you" from me to add on.

    I've only one request about the chart. It runs quite long from left to right and discerning which line is what manufacturer gets confusing for the long-term memory challenged. Maybe insert the "Company Name" column between the major columns, such as between "Bolt & Bolt Carrier" and "Barrel and Upper Receiver".

    Nice work!

    Their post on TOS covers the specs pretty well ...

    No reason for them NOT to join the Information Chart with their LEC15A4CBK ..

    Come on Armalite , the water is warm

    Thank you Rob. Your detailed research and responses on this forum have done much to educate me, and have allowed me to make informed decisions involving this platform. I've lurked on here for a while, and prior to the introduction of the new chart the "Explanation of Features" has given me a greater understanding of why certain features are desired and downright necessary.

    That being said, I hold you responsible for my purchase of a LE6920 and future BCM LW Middy build...

    thx for the work rob. great chart!

    2 comments/observations...

    1 - the old chart for Noveske, under HPT bolt, had it listed as "Batch" tested. this new chart has it as "None". is noveske not batch testing any longer?

    2 - For Noveske, the feedramps are not true M4 sized feedramps. they are much shorter as compared to longer cut colt, bcm, lmt feedramps. should this difference be listed? they are actually noted as "extended feed ramps", not M4 feedramps on the Noveske website.
