So exactly like every commercial product ever?

At least mimitary grade has a contract with defined specs they need to deliver. Commercial doesn't even have that.

So yeah, military grade may suck, but it is still a lot better than the normal shit they sell to the public.

    Absolutely not, take AR triggers for example. The shit they ship with palmetto state builds is "military grade" (read mil-spec) and functional, but is garbage compared to something like a geissele SSAE, or a trigger tech.

    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.
