Not where I really want to be
You are doing an electrical rough and find this in the kitchen for a range outlet. The pigtails are number 12 awg. Does this pass or fail and if it fails, what code section under the national electric code would you cite?

What size are the conductors in the greenfield? It also looks like the flex is pulled out of the fitting a bit, but IMHO, the 12 AWG needs to be changed to 10 AWG.

No I was wondering if that was your concern (maybe from 250.148)

No sir, my concern was the reduction of EGC to a #12 from #6. when #10 is the minimum. I am now told they are going to have that circuit on a 40A breaker but that still requires a #10. The wire nut will take care of the #6 to #10 connection which is compliant providing they use a wire nut listed for those sizes.
 
Never thought of that as a "terminal" before...how do you get one identified for Al for those of us that still deal with that if the screw does not have to be listed? (which I agree with)....for 10 stranded you would have to call BS on the "thoroughly good connection without damage" piece....If you wanted to
