    I'd be more than impressed of someone on TOS wore out a semi auto lower reciever.

    It's probably people just trying to justify their KNS purchase; which is a solution looking for a problem. The only time I have ever heard of lower recievers actually having this issue is when they are select fire, and have had multiple generations of boots behind them.

    EDIT: And as other posters have pionted out: the .mil units that run mk18's on full auto (or burst at the minimuim) and do TONS of training before a deployment dont seem to point out this issue. I find that civilians often make a freak occurance into a normal problem without ever shooting a single round. Must be an internet thing. To really finish this all off; even if 10.5's did break parts more, how many rounds did you actually fire before anything broke? 5k, 10k, 20k, 50k (yes there are AR's with 50K on them)? If I was a civilian shooting THAT much ammo, I would just have a whole new gun sent out with the pallet. If I was in the .mil still, I would walk up to the armorer, and tell them: "shits broke, need new one".
