    1. Rails keep getting longer and longer, and closer to the muzzle. Dumb. The MK18 RIS2 puts the end of the rail so close to the muzzle, I was afraid one day I'd lose a body part. I now have a renewed affection for a fixed FSB to index against without looking.

    2. OP, you should still pay Fortis for the new rail they are sending you. It is not their fault you destroyed their product, and while some may see this as customer service, I see it as setting an expectation for manufacturers to pay for end-user's **** ups.

    3. Is this how Magpul invented the AFG? The shape and angle look similar.

    4. No. 3 was a joke, in case someone thought I was serious.

    Long rails are dumb because you don't like them, and Fortis being nice somehow offends you as well.

    Right.

    Board policy mandates I state that I shoot for BCM. I have also done work for 200 or so manufacturers within the firearm community. I am prior service, a full time LEO, firearm instructor, armorer, TL, martial arts instructor, and all around good guy.

    I also shoot and write for various publications. Let me know if you know cool secrets or have toys worthy of an article...

    I agree. I have long felt that real men use muscle over physics and leverage to achieve tasks quickly and accurately. I, too, have trouble keeping body-parts clear of the muzzle. This is why I don't use pistols.

    2. OP, you should still pay Fortis for the new rail they are sending you. It is not their fault you destroyed their product, and while some may see this as customer service, I see it as setting an expectation for manufacturers to pay for end-user's **** ups.
    I agree. This is also why I have began donating to the IRS above my current tax obligation. Many view this as a chore or something to avoid, but we all own a part of the national debt, and I'm going to handle mine! Here's to responsibility, brother! AMEN!

    So were my last two responses.
    Well, it takes all kinds, I guess.

    Right.
    Please quote my text where it says that Fortis being nice offended me.

    I understand that they wanted to get this guy's rifle operational because it is his duty rifle. I also understand that replacing the rail gratis is great PR.

    However, doing this when there is clear negligence sets a precedent, and eliminates accountability from the end user.

    Do you hold your pistols with the support hand around the slide and over the front sight, with your fingers dangerously close to the muzzle? That would be synonymous.

    Your IRS metaphor is not equivalent. Please quote where I said OP should pay over retail for the rail he destroyed.

    If I crash my car, should Audi replace it for free?

    If they mistakenly gave you their flying version prototype...

    Then yes.
