I honestly believe that the whole HPT/MPI thing was popularized by rob_s and his chart. Prior to "The Chart" as it has come to be known, practically nobody besides Colt did HPT/MPI to their barrels/bolts, and the only reason why Colt did so is because it was stipulated by the U.S. Army as per the M4's TDP, but then along came rob_s and his chart, then suddenly it became mainstream, companies began at least batch testing their AR Pattern Rifles/Carbines and using modified versions of "The Chart" without the authorization/consent of rob_s without crediting him for it in their marketing which upset him so badly they he did his best to delete all instances of "The Chart" that he had ever posted so that companies could no longer use it for marketing purposes, but by that point it had been reposted ad nauseum and left its mark on the industry.
To this very day, some still reference "The Chart" despite the fact that it is over a decade out-of-date, was inaccurate/incomplete even in its most recent iteration, and is functionally irrelevant to the modern AR Market since it effectively set a standard, ergo most ARs save for perhaps the absolute cheapest bargain basement ARs in current production seem to at the very least batch test their barrels/bolts, which was by far the biggest deal to the average consumer because stuff like H Buffers could be added later, and over time most folks came to accept nitrided barrels as a viable alternative to chrome-lining.
The very direction this thread has drifted into perhaps illustrates just how irrelevant HPT/MPI has become in the greater scheme of this because it is so commonplace now that it no longer has any bragging rights/prestige associated with it, ergo everyone has to use niche sidegrades like Chrome-Silicon Springs in their ARs to feel superior to the average AR owner because all of the meaningful, arguably necessary upgrades to the ARs of years past come standard in just about every AR or otherwise can be added down the line at negligible expense by the end-user.
You condone talking about minorities like that too? You are a POS.. shame on all of you for condoning that racist crap.
Yea go ahead and lieÂ…. Unbelievable how some of you are ok with his statements.
For the racist and the people supporting the racist.. show me a military contract that got screwed up because unqualified minorities were working for said contracting company. I havenÂ’t seen one.. itÂ’s a shame that some of you agree with the poster who put down minority Americans. IÂ’m a minority and made it to the top in the Corps. DonÂ’t post some BS that is minorities donÂ’t do a good job and or incompetent. Shame on all of you for supporting him. Show me FACTSÂ…. You wonÂ’t find them. It chaps my ass that is this day in America we have such blatant racism. IÂ’m the bad guy because I call it outÂ…
2 people agreed with meÂ….
