Remington will likely have some of the same inspectors who monitored the inhouse processes, parts shipped in, their testing to conformance, and paperwork that documents that the TDP is completely in conformance.
In other words, the same oversight Colt has been putting up with for decades. As each part is put together, it has to meet standard - measured and tested. All the weapons in the lot have to meet standard - 2 MOA, tested and measured. And the government final inspection standards will be met to the letter because too many people have good jobs with great pay to be the lead man in a scapegoat hunt by Congress looking for who screwed the pooch on the M4.
Does that mean a Remington you can buy will be any different? Hopefully so, but be very sure, the 6920 wasn't milspec, and you can't show me a lot inspection package that proves it. Never could.
Whether the Remington or Colt is "superior" and "Tier One" will be moot, the best thing to come out of it will be complete boredom as Remington's just launch bullets no different than another Colt in the rack. We really don't need Brandinistas bragging over which is better, what we need is good training to use them better.
