Not claiming there are, just supposing. I'm obviously the un-knowledgeable here hence my questions. So what makes a cast fire control group found in a Colt lower better than the one found in a DPMS LPK? Are the DPMS fire control parts MIM'ed in the back of a whorehouse in Bangkok? Are the two castings supplied to the various manufacturers by the same supplier but Colt takes the time to anneal them and then heat treat them to spec? I really don't know but am interested.
With the infamous list, it is pretty straight forward, the Colt's barrel is made of this superior steel, has been MP tested, and a few other things that make it superior to the DPMS. And while the "list" has ruffled more than a few feathers, it has made those who take the time to understand it, more knowledgeable shooters. With LPKs the whole issue is more nebulous. What makes a Colt LPK better?
“The ruling class doesn’t care about public safety. Having made it very difficult for States and localities to police themselves, having left ordinary citizens with no choice but to protect themselves as best they can, they now try to take our guns away. In fact they blame us and our guns for crime. This is so wrong that it cannot be an honest mistake.” – former U.S. Sen. Malcolm Wallop (R-Wy.)
