Having Been in the CIVILIAN firearms industry, I can say that they will sell a ton of these. All of the Backwoods PDs and Sheriff's Offices who have been using Mini-14s for lack of a familiar name in the AR world will say,"Hey, Smith & Wesson, I've carried one of them for 30 years, and my grandpappy before me." Not to mention GP folks who fit the same category of finding a "Familiar Name" in a World of Bushmaster, Armalite, DPMS, etc.
It is my understanding that this rifle was built with much input from Troy Industries. Those boys have a rep for doing good work.
It is also my understanding that there are only about a half dozen companies making AR receivers in the US, but if you order enough of them, they'll mark them however you want. Hell, on ARFCOM, I saw one Marked Umbrella Corp UC-15 from the Resident evil series.
Just my .02, Take it for what it cost.
