We can play a shell game all day.
I can say those are only the people having problems who happen to post those problems on the net and they represent only 1% of people having problems.
You stated people weren't having problems, but they are.
Now you state that many of those problems aren't related to the lower, but they could easily be related to the lower. I think a lot of the issues come from trying to adapt the AR magazine to the design and the related changes to the lower.
And finally nobody is having problems with Swiss guns to anywhere near the same degree. It just isn't happening. You keep bringing this up and I don't know why, you don't own a single Swiss gun, you don't seem to know anyone who does and you don't live in Switzerland.
And more importantly you aren't bringing cited examples. I post regularly on Sig Forums (where almost nobody owns Swiss rifles) and on Swiss Rifles.com where most people own Swiss rifles and the reported failures just aren't there.
So it seems to me you are talking about the occasional "anomaly" that can be produced by anyone. And while I have yet to see one, I accept the premise that it could happen even at SIG. But at the same time you are also trying to suggest all the complaints related to the 556 are the same kind of "anomaly" related to US SIG. The problem is the instance of reported issues and failures are much greater than that occasional "anomaly."
Now that doesn't mean all US SIGs are bad and people on this forum have tried to get that point across to you over and over and over again. But the fact of the matter is they are in no way even close to the standard of the Swiss SIG, another point people have tried to get across to you over and over and over again. it very much is like me insisting DPMS is just as good (maybe even better than Colt) simply because I happened to buy one that was not problematic and exhibited acceptable accuracy.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
