I find it amazing how many smaller departments end up with "white elephant guns" as a friend likes to call them. That "gunsmith/shyster" should be arrested charged with fraud or something along those lines. I would hope the PDs firearms instructors would inspect and test fire the ARs BEFORE they issue them out to the field guys. This would be common sense. When issued/ purchase/ etc any equipment test it thoughly as if your life depends on it, as it might well turn out that it does!!! :eek:
