One of the most annoying when folks say clips and they mean magazines. @DLoesch Can you share more on the 51Fifty? Specs? What's "custom" about it to you?

Difference between clips and mags for the reads-with-pictures crowd. Stripper clip is for my KelTec 5.7 (underneath) which loads from the top and is small enough to conceal. (Also pictured: my sweet custom 51Fifty AR.)

Yeah, too many people think their "opinion" matters. It just doesn't. There's a lot of ways to look at it, I guess. But much of the debate is ultimately pointless. If we simply view "mil-spec" as a standard as opposed to a conclusive qualifier, we'll be much better off. But if I want a better understanding of how the industry utilizes milspec, I'd ask someone like @spikesguides who would actually have some idea. Moreover, we can also do a little "research". Lol. Some results I got: In the context of AR-15s,  "mil-spec" is short for military specifications or standards. It refers to the standards set by the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) for firearms. These standards ensure the suitability of firearms, like the M16 (the military version of the AR-15), for military use by outlining specific requirements for their components, materials, dimensions, and quality.  Key aspects of mil-spec AR-15s and their components Standardization and interoperability: Mil-spec standards aim to create uniformity among military equipment, allowing for easier maintenance, repairs, and replacement of parts, reducing downtime and costs for the military. Quality and durability: Components meeting military specifications are subjected to stringent quality control measures, including material selection, heat treatment, and testing. This leads to the use of strong and durable materials, such as 7075-T6 aluminum alloy for receivers and buffer tubes. Mil-spec barrels, for instance, are made from 4150 Chrome Moly Vanadium (CMV) steel and often feature a chrome lining for enhanced durability and corrosion resistance. Performance: Mil-spec standards are designed to ensure consistent and reliable performance, meeting or exceeding accuracy and functionality requirements. Compatibility: Mil-spec components are designed to be compatible and interchangeable with other parts meeting the same standards. This is particularly important for buffer tubes and stocks, where mil-spec and commercial-spec parts are not interchangeable due to diameter differences.  Important considerations Civilian AR-15s are not technically mil-spec: A fully mil-spec AR-15 would be fully automatic, which is illegal for civilians. "Mil-spec" can be used loosely: In the civilian market, the term "mil-spec" is often used to refer to parts and accessories manufactured to the same tolerances, materials, and dimensions as those required by the military. However, this doesn't automatically mean they are of military-issued quality or reliability, as there can be variations in materials or manufacturing processes. Not always "best": Mil-spec represents a baseline of quality and performance, but some commercial components may surpass these standards in certain areas, such as improved accuracy or lighter weight, according to 51Fifty Rifles. For instance, stainless steel barrels often provide better accuracy than chrome-lined mil-spec barrels but may require more maintenance. It's about knowing the details: When considering "mil-spec" parts, it's crucial to look beyond the label and understand the specific dimensions, materials, and quality control standards applied to the part, says Wing Tactical.

Too many people think replying with their "opinion" means fuck all. It does not. Doesn't hurt to actually try to fact find and THEN reply: In the context of AR-15s,  "mil-spec" is short for military specifications or standards.

51fifty @americansheriff new rifle. Same sheriff.

Own a One-of-a-Kind @51Fifty_USA — and Change a Veteran’s Life We’re raffling off a custom #51fifty for just $25 a ticket — and only 2,000 tickets will be sold. Why? Because $50,000 is all it takes to send one veteran suffering from traumatic brain injury (TBI) to receive life-changing treatment — or to send two veterans through hyperbaric therapy. It’s not nearly enough for all who need it, but for one or two warriors, it means everything. Every ticket helps. Every dollar matters. This Memorial Day weekend, remember: Freedom isn’t free — for some, it’s become their personal hell. Be the difference. Help them heal. americanmilitaryfamily.org/r… @amfgy6 #veteransuicideawareness #veteran #help #awareness
