yes , he is all over the place . on some issues wrong .
Mil-spec means - Military specification . I have found that some sellers say mil-spec hoping you lump it in as a total . Example some sellers will say the buffer tube is mil-spec diameter . That does not mean to buffer tube is mil-spec period . You can have a extruded and not forged mil-spec diameter buffer tube . That would not be a mil-spec buffer tube , it would just be the same size as a mil-spec buffer tube .

So where is the balance? Which parts benefit from mil spec, and which ones do not?

Here is what I say about true mil-spec verses commercial .
When you by mil-spec you know what your getting . There is a specific material that it must be made from and or it MUST hold up to very specific testing . Commercial anything does not need to meet any of those things .
Does that mean mil-spec is best ? NO , not at all . In fact some commercial products may be much better . Triggers to name the most obvious one can be much better from after market sellers .
My point is if a manufacturer has no standards or specs it must use. It can make the product in any way they want with any material . That means ( at least to me ) that you could have two of the same parts . One milled from solid steal the other made from pot metal and they both would have the same commercial designation . commercial does not mean less quality . It means with out some good research you don't really know how good it really is . You know what you get when you buy mil-spec .
