I didn't realize you had to shoot to 600m to evaluate the accuracy of an AR-15

Earlier I made the point that the Army was willing to accept a rifle that had a 10% chance of a stoppage in normal use in order to achieve 1 MOA mean radius accuracy at 600m. The Army was willing to accept that degree of reliability to achieve that degree of accuracy. I hypothesized that an M4 that had to meet that same standard of accuracy would likely be more finicky in operation
Your response to me was:

As for the comment regarding a true 1MOA M4 not being reliable, its not true.... Conversely, my only carbine AR that I personally own is a stock S&W M&P15 (no chrome bolt carrier etc). It has never had a stoppage and is a ~1MOA gun with issued 62gr.

Aside from your fabulous luck in finding such precision in a stock M&P15, the point I meant to make is that accuracy is measured in many different ways by different people. Unless you are measuring accuracy the same way the Army does, then using your M&P15 as an example of how a rifle can be "~1MOA" and still more reliable isn't a valid comparison.
