I was stoked thinking that there was a civvy/semi-only M249 released.
What a buzzkill.
hey mcmanus,
you're a funny guy, ha...
what i said is absolutely true. satisfaction.
with a mind like yours you are likely to be sent away carrying all your
needs in both hands. and your demands wrapped around your neck...
seriously, there is no need for secrets. i doubt that what you percieve as secret is actually so. i would describe the situation as selective.
Thanks for the compliment man! I don't take offense at all to you jabbing me regarding the fact that I like to know how things work, and what I am actually paying for.
I've only been watching this thread to see if I can learn something, and I have. I don't have any needs that I am not capable of meeting at the moment. Glad your happy with your wonder fix.
hey mcmanus,
"I don't have any needs that I am not capable of meeting at the moment. "
right on!
that's a good place to be.
you were already there.
As a gunsmith, I get asked by customers all the time about "what I did" to improve the reliability of the weapon. Since they are paying, they get told.
Now if it is some secret squirrel type thing that I don't want anyone to know, I will still explain it to them in relative terms (as to not give away any trade secrets).
IMHO, if someone is going to use a weapon for defensive purposes, I think they kind of have the right to know what is going on it. Imagine one of those village idiots you see at gun shows telling you that they will "improve your AR" for $500 and not tell you what they did. Did they actually do anything? Who knows.
Ken get's a pass as he is going to do what he says he is going to do, but I would not give that kind of pass to just anyone.
In regards to the AR's reliability, the MAIN problem with the weapon is/was the magazine. With the new mags on the market (PMAG, TD ARC, Lancer) a lot of the old feeding issues are a thing of the past. Now, if the weapon malfunctions, it is because of stupid user tricks (not cleaning or lubricatin the weapon, not doing PM's on the springs or shooting crap ammo).
