Who do you think buys these weapons for the war fighter and federal LE? Who do you think has to understand these requirements in the FAR/DFAR/various regs?
Considering the cat who defines the requirements, determines if something meets spec and whether or not the contractor gets paid, doesn't get shit or gets sued; I have a pretty good idea about gov and .mil requirements.
Just because there is some archaic standard or regulation ( which is what the small arms procurement community has to deal with, when 50 years ago weapons and components were sourced from suspect materials with hard to control process resulting in not getting the alloy you want). Doesn't matter if its Davis-Bacon or Mil-STD-1916, both are bureaucratic, non value added requirements. Today we can get material in the exact alloy we want and heat treatment that is an exact science.
Like I said I like seekins products and own a number their products. But those who actually understand this platform and what there is out on the market, the history,ect; can see there is nothing new here that hasn't already been done or tried.
Lets be real , how many of these guns do you think are going to go onto a 2 way range? Its cute marketing for the non professional market. You think the cats down at 10th group are going to be trading in their SR-25's, G28's and MK20's for this?
