They had to wait until US Military contract restriction expired.

That is cool so long as it isn't $2,000+ I've been wanting that Colt AR-15A4, which I guess are banned by name here, but this will do nicely

Be that as it may, the fact remains.

I wonder if this is going to impact Palmetto's supply chain?

But, you can get a Colt LE6920CA (M4 Carbine) which is not banned by name.

If FN stops supplying PSA, they'll just use Wilson.

Interesting.

The say the rifle barrel is button broached which means it's not CHF. So is that what the mil-spec calls for?

What's the difference between button broached and button rifled?

I may have been hearing misinformation on the interwebs. Are Colt barrels button rifled (I've always heard button rifled) or button broached and why does this matter? Does it translate to less stress on the barrel during manufacture or quicker/cheaper manufacture someone has to know my money is on Randall.

There are many milspecs out there. I'm sure at least one of them calls for cold hammer forged barrels. The majority of M4 and M16 rifles carried by US military personnel are not using hammer forged barrels though.

I don't think there's a difference between button broached and button rifled, pretty sure they're two terms for the same thing.
