However, most of us fail to call up a distributor and bitch about the "out of spec parts" after we get done doing said dumb stuff. And furthermore, explain in detail what we did to "fix" said dumb stuff.

True.. but trying to change specs on a gun without prior knowledge is a little over the top, if i were in question of something like this the internet is everywhere all ya gotta do is ask.

Well, you know how it is: the only thing worse than having no idea what you are doing is thinking that you know what you are doing when you really have no idea.

Or so I've heard.

There are three things in this world that should require an IQ test:

1. Reproducing
2. Posting or blogging on the internet
3. Dremel Tools

I do think that the Dremel should probably be a controlled item, however, with some kind of associated classroom instruction and certification process. I'd sooner put a light saber in most guys' hands than a Dremel.

Are you taking orders and is there a waiting period?

I surmise this is his first AR purchase?

Given the recent uptick in AR interest from the general population, I would suspect more of this will be occuring...

I dremel'd some vent holes in my ejection port cover the other day. I thought it turned out well... it helps cool the bolt even with the door closed.

But seriously... i did have to dremel the edge of the ejection port cover VERY slightly because it was getting caught up on the receiver

. They are noveske marked but i honestly don't know where they are sourced from. I should have known better than to buy some fancy e.p cover so hitting it with the dremel made me feel a little less uppity anyways
