There are plenty of things where mil spec is extremely strict and high quality. They wont be sold to consumers as they are priced accordingly

A company can not sell a product to consumers cheaper than it can sell to the federal government, and the federal government contract normally comes first. A lot of the stuff you can buy (minus restricted items), it'll just cost you.

  • They can't sell the same thing but they can sell something slightly different. put a different type of paint on it and you can sell for different prices.

    • Untrue, otherwise vendors would be doing this instead of leaving tons of money on the table.
