Colt doesn't even own the M4 TDP anymore; they're hardly the only caretaker of that which is considered "in spec" for the AR world. Remember, for many years they were the ones using .169" pins for the fire control group for commercial ARs and not .158" like the ACTUAL military specification. If you're going to define "in spec" according to what Colt's Manufacturing has done you're going to have a rough time with the numerous times they purposefully deviated from the proper specifications. The Spike's lower is indeed one of the tightest AR lowers I've yet seen, but it's still in spec. Magpul wouldn't have needed to go to Rev M (and soon to Rev M3) if their Pmags perfectly adhered to the dimensions for a STANAG 4179 magazine... their constant curve design results in a mag slightly longer from front to rear. Good magazines, but hardly the only good ones. |
