    That is just dumb. Not only could you have damaged a $2,000 rifle but you destroyed a $300 rail. I don't understand people.
    Not sure about you guys, but I'm only here for the free food and open bar.

    Is this one of those things that started with "Hey, hold my beer! Watch this!"

    This ranks right up there with can I make a midlength by simply moving my gas block forward and a new gas tube. I guess common sense truly is a super power nowadays.

    Well, I guess that's one way to do it...

    If you account for the cost of a urx wrench, he probably cost himself $135 net. He's just lucky that he didn't shred the upper receiver, or worse, damage the barrel during the process.

    Not to mention he could have recouped the cost of the wrench...

    I try to abide by the old saying "If you don't have anything nice to say..." you know how it goes. But this is just beyond retarded. A waste of a perfectly good piece of equipment and money. What pisses me off even more is the fact that I'm trying to find a good deal for a good used URX II and would've offered him something for it. $300 buys you a good amount of ammo, a pretty decent shotgun and even a scoped hunting rifle these days.

    While I find senseless destruction of perfectly good parts distasteful, from a strictly financial point of view his money was already spent and out of his hands. Perhaps recouping a couple hundred wasn't on his list of 'worth it' at this time. I imagine there will come a time in the future he might look back and this and kind of wish he still had the rail or recouped the money. But if he's really on a 'now now now' schedule, it won't come up again.

    Anyway, thanks for photos - kind of entertaining in a sick sort of way.
