    In my opinion this man has serious mental issues, no I am not a licensed doctor, but I dont need a degree in meteorology either to know when its raining outside.
    That is pretty out there...

    He is a 'cat' person though so some crazy is to be expected. LOL!


    From what I have seen of his videos he is really good at pointing out potential problems / stuff not in 'spec' but I have not seen him 'correcting' very many parts to put them back into 'spec'.

    The guy is on the forum here when people aren’t saying stupid stuff. SOTAR is the only reason I keep a Facebook account, if usually deactivated.
    Didn’t Pressburg shoot his b-in-law, Haley had a NG, Cowden said mean things, etc etc. People aren’t perfect, and things can be taken out of context.

    "QC is the worst it's ever been".

    Well, if that's so color me oh so NOT surprised.
    Its been a year+ long gun rush, and the demand has ramped UP as time went on, not down.
    Prices are going up and away on a lot of things, so yeah my bet is a lot of manufacturers are tossing everything out the door they can.
    Remember post-Newtown 2013? And the obvious QC dips people found as that mad rush unfolded? Some companies like PSA never quite recovered from that.
    So yeah, things are getting sketchy, why wouldn't they? Ammo production is backed up for how long now- like years at this point?

    An instructor I knew and some related folks had several KBs lately with recent ammo purchases. Granted it was some brand I've never heard of, but that just makes the point- people are going to take whatever is available, cuz that's all there is. Kinda like '13 when literally the only ammo left anywhere was Tula... and some other off-brand I can't remember for the life of me.

    It really is that simple. Each time we go through this, we know quality gets flushed as companies run machines as quick as possible to get money while they can.

    Stick with well known companies. They are the ones who have standards and won’t be buying from the reject bins.

    Off parts are nothing new. If you bought enough stuff before todays current demand you would run into off parts. No worse now than before.

    With all due respect, I think you are crazy.

    I’ve gone through a few brands of Eastern European 9mm over the last couple months that I previously hadn’t heard of before. Had one weak round which failed to cycle the slide in a G17, but otherwise it all shot okay. But I was kinda bracing myself for trouble, that’s for sure.

    I just picked up 2 Centurion Arms Lower Receivers on a whim I saw in a LGS last week, both are perfect. Should I have walked away from those because "someone" said quality is bad industry wide and don't buy anything?
