“......companies like BCM, Daniel Defense, Toolcraft, Rubber City Armory, etc., do?..................in big part, it's due to the consistency & quality of the steel.”

While I mostly agree/don’t have any questions about your post, you kinda lost me with Rubber City. AFAIK (and, at least for me), they’re not in a ‘top tier’ conversation at all. JP is. Young probably is, but some debate that. I’m not saying I’m some bolt expert, but materials and specs just are. I’m (personally) not saying RCA isn’t good, I just don’t know that they’re proven ‘top tier’....then again, I don’t think Noveske or Colt are what they used to be, either. wink
