    BUDS is for pussies. Who needs to go to Coronado to get the Trident? You can get your very own OFFICIAL Navy Seal lower receiver, built to exceed military specifications!

    I have to ask where this range is so that I NEVER go there.

    Lemme see... I'll see your Army -10 manual and raise you a USMC issue Operators Manual, USMC M-16A2 TM and every T.O. we have in the shop from the GUU to M-16 to M-4 rifles that will say (well, actually it won't say a damned thing about it) the exact same thing about cramming or spraying anyting into the gas tube!. Call.

    Actually, we replaced a few shot-out barrels today that failed inspection last week. Yup, we used the same gas tube and nope, nobody's ever jammed or sprayed anything in there. And yup, they worked just fine.

    Agreed, we never have to replace the original gas tube when conducting A2 barrel changes. Gas tubes were never "cleaned", and survived 10-15K rounds fired with the old barrel.

    i noticed somebody said not to put any lube in the gas key. any other areas of the bolt/wherever that should not be lubed?

    obviously the gas tube should be kept free of anything....

    The -10 manual actually does mention a drop of CLP should go into the carrier (gas) key.

    -Pistol model is built on "Navy SEAL" lower, complete with "Commando" marking.
    -Refers to the optic on an "A3 Rifle with Quad Rail" as an Aimpoint, despite the obvious fact that it is a POS Knock-off in a cheapie mount.
    -Shows an incorrectly mounted Aimpoint M2 in the optics page.
    -Lists more knock-off "optics" than E-Bay.

    ETA-
    Just watched cleaning video
    Problems-

    -Uses a Vortex flash suppressor, which they manufacture in-house. Suprising, since Smith Enterprises holds a trademark on the Vortex FH.
    -Insistent on removal of copper fouling, but uses Hoppes 9, which takes days to fully remove copper fouling. If it is so important, why isn't he using a real copper solvent like Hoppes Benchrest Copper Solvent?
    -Advises use of WD-40 as a cleaner.
    -Advises use of CLP as a preservative for chrome bores, despite the dismal performance of CLP as a long-term storage protectant, and the simple fact that the chrome bore isn't going to rust.
    -Sees bolts that have fired 1,000 rounds and is amazed that they still fire. Though it is common knowledge that many people and organizations have run their ARs for thousands of rounds without cleaning.
    -Seems to believe that a bent rod will damage the chrome lining of a bore, but then says that it is ok to scrape chrome lining with a steel cutter.
    -Says that if the gaps in the gas rings are aligned, the weapon will not function.
    -Advises replacing gas rings every 1,500 rounds.
    -Says that carbon build-up on bolt tail will somehow cause a lost gas seal.
    -Lubes inside of gas key.
    -Says that headspace is gauged off of the throat.
    -Says that the shifting weights in the buffer act as a timing device.

    I am less than confident in this individual, and would be just as doubtful of information from someone that would buy that drivel.
    Wow! I believe that has to be the longest list of BS I've ever seen! Where do these kind of people come from, do you suppose?

    If you are going to stupid enough to copy the Trident, at least do it right. The one pictured on the lower is missing the pistol. Wonder what the SEAL community thinks of this one?

    Anyone notice these clownshoes can't spell? What a joke. Sending to the various SEAL websites that expose phonies like these.
