I’m always reminded of a conversation I had with a guy who worked at Colt in QC inspection. He said he rejected lots of parts that would not meet the criteria and would send them back to the vendor. He said the vendor wouldn’t scrap those parts, they’d sell em to another company that didn’t care and usually they were sold as “from a Colt mil spec supplier” even though they didn’t meet mil spec.
I bought a “Colt” RE a couple of months ago from a company mentioned here and I’ll never buy from them again. It was plain to see it was a reject.
But every time I’ve posted a good deal on a quality part, there’s always several here that claim it’s too high and X brand or company is “just as good as”. Frankly I don’t care anymore.
