You're worrying too much. Just lube up the BCG and throw a few hundred rounds down range, it will break in. I had a DPMS 20" upper a few years back that would hold 1" groups at 100 yards; granted the slightly lower grade 41xx series steel may not last as long a Colt, Lother Walther, or Krieger barrel. But are you really going to throw 10,000+ rounds down range to find out? If you do get that much into shooting it, you'll want a new gun soon any way.

Shoot and enjoy.

>>FN knows a thing or two about military specs and certainly can make M16/M4s to spec.

Yeah, they're probably the premier manufacturer in the western world.

A good point was made in that the deviations in quality between ARs has diminished significantly with even the low end being reasonably acceptable.
