    Ah, you would think that assembling AR's is really easy, but it isn't. Would you like me to list all the AR "manufacturers" that do not build quality/reliable AR's???

    Or how bout all screw ups the major AR's companies have done??

    Having lived in this industry for many years (and dealt with many of the top people at these companies) I am afraid people would be shocked at what some of these companies do not know.

    Ruger has been having callbacks on most if not all of there new firearm released to the public here lately.

    It's interesting that you mention that, because it was this that drew me into this thread.... serious issues.... which I wanted to find out what they were. It seems, however, the comments are based on the LCP and SR9 experiences -- not really the same.

    Nah. I just go by what they've put out so far. If Noveske threw out a new 1911,
    you could bet your ass it would be top notch, and if Hi-Point put out a sniper rifle you'd stay far far away. Ruger is somewhere in the middle. They make middle of the road products, there are better and there are worse. They work for most people, but not all, and a carbine is just a little different than an over/under(when you consider what it is designed to be used for), don'tcha think?

    Firearms produced by the government have multiple government inspectors checking those firearms and they can reject a whole lot just because of one problem they find in one firearm there is even a inspector to make sure the rifles are properly stacked and secured to a pallet for shipment.
    No such over sight for civvies.

    Maybe your right maybe your wrong only time will tell.

    This is going to be tiring, isn't it? [That's a rhetorical question.] You have misinterpreted what I wrote as being one object heats faster and that the same object cools faster. The irony is that objects really do behave this way in the real world [please reference your quote from below] since, all other things being equal and a closed system, smaller masses do heat quicker than larger masses and cool similarly, but that's pretty much like a blind squirrel finding a nut. However, that is not what I wrote. I wrote that the object of a larger mass would not get as "hot", which most rational people would interpret as temperature.

    Two objects of the same material and density but with different masses and shapes. You are suggesting that A can heat up slower than B, but then cool down faster than B. That just doesn't work out in that context.
    It will take more time to heat up, but then it will retain the heat longer.
    Um, no, not even close.

    Dude, I don't know why you're getting shitty about it. You asked for links to recall notices that someone made reference to. You didn't bother looking on Ruger's homepage where they have the two recall notices right up front so I answered your question with links to the two notices.

    No one is saying they've had an AR recall. I think it's a case of "once bitten, twice shy" though. Two major recalls on two of their most recent offerings makes people understandably leery about another new offering. I think the same would probably be true of any company, making any product, who had two major recalls within a short frame of time on new products.
    You know, I'm not getting shitty. The comment didn't qualify what the recalls were for and clearly left an impression it was pertinent to the SR-556. And I don't consider these recalls to be pertinent in specific, nor do I consider them to be informative about the company in general. To the extent you were being helpful, well then, thank you. However, two recalls about drop safety and safties, doesn't condemn an entire company; it probably speaks more to their lawyers' influence then to anything else.

    Hey! I could have just listed what they made but that would have gobbled a big chunk of Grant's bandwidth!!



    Instead, I leave for the reading pleasure and edification of the M4C readership, this following link:

    Where is SinnFein1911 when you need him?!?

    My brother saw Deliverance and bought a Bow. I saw Deliverance and bought an AR-15.

    Nope: no need for it to get tiring. As you say, I guess I misinterpreted what you wrote.
