So exactly what is a "mil spec" installation? Can anyone post the technical
details to the most salient question, which, IMHO is, exactly what are the
technical differences in the hardware itself (not the number stamped on it
or the sticker) between the mil spec and civilian versions?

And I feel poor MV owners are being gouged in the name of "authenticity",
and getting a few nuts and bolts for their $2K.

Sorry, but that's my opinion.
