Shoot the rifle and enjoy it. Don't worry about the Larry Vickers types...
The reason mil-spec is important or useful is because it sets a minimum baseline standard for materials and quality control. I will say that again, a minimum standard. As we all know when the government procures an item they usually select the lowest bidder that meets a minimum set standard.
Why would you buy from a manufacturer that does not even meet a minimum standard when the cost savings is negligible or nonexistant altogether.
Using your line of thinking you must choose a Lorcin handgun over a Glock or a Yugo over a Toyota.
I just don't get hung up on the whole "Mil Spec" label. There are plenty of manufactures that make high quality components without the mil-spec labeling. It's just not that big of a deal to me and MANY others. You have 40 post on here, most of which are simply bashing others purchases. If you wouldn't buy one component, or another, that's fine. But it is rather rude and unnecessary to scoff at others rifles.
Truth is...in he civilian market, mil-spec only means they use the military type specs. Ie, measurements, tolerances, etc. it doesn't preclude that the component is actually tested and acceptable to military standards. Another truth is that many lowered, specifically, are made in one centeral location, to individual companies desires. If you want TRUE MIL-SPEC, you must get it from Uncle Sam. All parts are modeled after mil-specs, that where the design came from.
I will say this, one more time. Buy what you want, but please spare us the non-sense that only company A or "mil-spec" part B are the only components worth using. If you believe that, then fine...but there is no call for your constant down playing of others purchases.
