You need to add H&K, Schmeisser, Daniel Defence, JP and a large number of mill spec+ rifles. While colt and armalite are milspec and well made, metallurgy has come a long way since the spec was written in the 1960s. The NZDF have just chosen Lewis Machine & Tool Co who make the current 7.62 rifle. I am sure they are lasting the Grunt test ok Probably worse than any other firearm test in the world! Otherwise they would not have chosen their 5.56 version as the Steyer replacement
