    Really? Not for me. If I get the Super Dooper Awesome Fix for my car that costs 5,000 dollars, and then when I ask them what they did to it, they tell me "it's secret but it works better", well I'm gonna be a little pissed. I honestly can not wrap my head around your logic at all. What if Barrel Fix #3 is to apply fairy dust in liberal quantities?

    The only way this mystery will be solved is if someone dissassembles a colt and mikes, guages and photos it and then reassembles it and send it in.

    Then dissassembles it and measures it again.

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

    Yes, but you KNOW:
    • Gas port diameter (is it the proper diameter, chamfered, consistent??)
    • Check the buffer assembly
    • Verify the recoil spring weight
    • Extractor and Ejector spring tensions
    • Extractor shape
    • Extractor buffer
    • Chamber and headspace verification
    • Verify dimensions of bolt (maybe, maybe not)

    And you've gone a long way determining if your carbine is "proper" right?

    Any and all mods made to a weapon should be fully disclosed prior to any services being performed.

    All you have to do is simply not purchase his service/ upgrade. Pretty simple.

    To the best of my knowledge Ken is the only who does this correct? So why should he reveal what he does thereby allowing some backyard armorer clown the opportunity to steal what he is doing? I wouldn't disclose it either. I am fairly certain that if someone wanted the work done, that Ken would probably give you an idea of what he is doing without giving it all away.

    I feel that "what" and "how" are two different things. Wouldn't you agree?

    I think I made my thoughts pretty clear.

    No.

    I trust my gunsmiths (and I include Elmore in this, as I own one of his carbines) to sell me a rifle that works. How that occurs is beyond the scope of my interest. Simply put, I don't care anymore.

    I haven't actually seen Ken in years. Whenever I've been by S.A.W., he's always been in the back.

    I was starting to wonder if he was even alive.
