Comment on They just made the winning bid

Which is the point. It’s not good, it meets the spec.
Sometimes the spec means it’s overbuilt compared to a civilian version. A lot of the time someone not-the-government is willing to pay more for different features than the spec.
An AR trigger going to a 19 year old just out of basic does not need to be match quality. Most of them suck as marksmen. Most of them will rarely shoot a rifle after basic because their MOS doesn’t require it, and they don’t need a good (read: more expensive) trigger to qualify for basic competence.

The person in replying to is saying the civilian market’s quality is worse than mil spec. But I’m saying that is absolutely not true. The civilian market is wide ranging.
