Seriously...
Its even made in the U.S.
so you can't use the "Chinese Crap" argument.

As far as the "Its why they aren't issued on M4s" argument, Really?
When was the last time you saw Bushmasters issued from an armory?
That argument is crap. How about its because they weren't awarded the contract to build the cheapest part for the cheapest cost.
I Served, believe me when I say quality has shit to do with why its issued on a weapon.


Just admit, it's all a matter of preference at most levels, The rest is snobbery.


Sigh.

Why are some so extreme on here? Where did I ever mention aircraft grade aluminum or milspec marketing speak? Pretty sure I didn't. And it doesn't matter how cheap (money wise) someone makes something for the govt, it still has to meet whatever spec was specified in the contract. Does better exist? Sure. But does that fact mean the govt spec was crap? No.

I served as well. The bombers, fighters and munitions at my base weren't crap just because they were produced by the lowest cost bidder. And just because the French make bombers, fighters and munitions too doesn't mean they're just as good.

And if you're going to tell me my $69 aimpoint knockoff is just as good as my M3 because both do the same thing, then we'll just agree to disagree.
