Well shoot, the truth is finally out. Time to close up shop here boys. Maybe we can change the name of m4carbine to bowsandarrows.net?

The WT article is risible, the published response by Mauser I couldn't finish...too many typos...(I HATE it when people call my CORPS 'Marine Corp'!) Sending a letter to the editor that poorly written ends up in the circular file, just like a poorly written resume or CV would sent to me.
Ha! All good!

Alias posted this article by Mike Pannone on FB last week. Good timing.
A unit armorer with a unit deployed to a combat theater of operations should have access to enough parts to quickly put a rifle or carbine back in service. This goes back to restrictions per the unit T.O.&E. and this has been a problem for quite a few years. I am reasonably certain that soldiers complained about the same problem at the Battle of Gettysburg and in France during WWI.
Just traded all my M4 Carbines for some SKS rifles. Yup, wanted to grab them up before the Times article spread and the panic started to sweep the nation. It has already started. The SKS guy held out and we finally agreed on 1 M4 and $200 cash per Samozaryadnyj Karabin sistemy - SKS. Whew....now I feel so much better.
