Thank you for the substantive reply.
The only things I have to add are that the SCAR has also had problems in A'stan, many of those initially issued M16s had problems with them in Vietnam, and even H&K had some crummy HK416s make it into the field.
From what I understand, the way that LWRCi makes their guns, they are very difficult to service. (Hard-fit gas blocks and things like that.)
Wow man, you're making it it sound like I cursed your mother or something. I've trained with all three and have much respect for them, and never insinuated that they were fan boys or that their opinions should be discounted. YOU are saying that I did. I simply stated that is was a commercial grade gun that is not built to a M4 TDP, not that it was not capable of being reliable. It's seems there is a rash of people getting extremely defensive over a difference of opinion. Not that I care, but do you even own one? You want to pray to the alter of LWRC guns, that's awesome, great, fantastic, good for you. FYI SCARs and HK416s are also not built to the M4 TDP, yet I'd own either over a LWRC, since they have both been vetted, refined, and used by our military down range. Have a great weekend bubba...and try not to get so emotional over a difference of opinion.
