I don’t consider it a negative, TBH. It’s a mil-spec MSR, not a fancy hunting rifle.

I'd comnsider it a negative lol, you're paying how many thousands for somethjng with Cringesader quality? It is a mil spec modern sporting rifle... bit for the civilian market not the front lines, and a savage 10T-SR is about the furthest thing from a fancy hunting rifle, literally the bottom of the barrel most entry level target rifle at 650 bucks, and it comes with a 5R barrel and a finisher better than IWI, I think they can spare a couple min, slow their feed rate, and tumble their bolt carriers before bluing

I suppose Colt could also ensure their rifles don’t arrive with factory dings and scrapes, but such is the nature of military-spec firearms.

I will say the 1911 series 70 and SP-1 do not have the machining marks that the carmel appears ro have, I have no experience with new colt

Just a matter of customer demand, I think.

The typical LE department ordering duty rifles only cares that they work, so Colt’s QC reflects that.

The series 70 and 89 1911s were always aimed at civilians.

Having said that, my US-made X95 bolt carrier looks cleaner. Both work just fine. 🤷
