    I guess I do not even get why someone would notch it in the firstplace

    Pishposh I say. Any good self-respecting TOS'ser knows that the castle nut is properly secured by using a hose clamp.

    I am seriously concerned about the mental health of the AR community. It seems as if everyone is a caveman and wants to reinvent the spark.

    I saw everything from Loc-tite, to just tighten it and be done and nothing will happen, to using some goop found at the Roswell crash site. Simply amazing.
    I see that shit all the time I have witnessed ass holes that know better resurface fly wheel with a brake lathe [ I have never ever witnessed a clutch chatter so bad afterward]. I personally think its a wider problem than just guns I have seen it going on more and more no body cares about doing the job right they just want to get the job done There is a time when to improvise but its not with everything you do. I have seen guys take more pride in doing a improvised shit job than to actually to take the time and to do it right.

    Yep it was beer, a bench grinder and a brilliant idea.
    Seems like the commercial tube was manufactured with the slot from what I could gather.

    Yeah, some like DPMS I have seen come with the notch, but properly installed still dont require the grinder treatment.

    I think the automotive industry might be worse. When I was selling parts, we had dozens of backyard mechanics who have been building small block Chevys for 60 years when they were probably 30 years old. I can't tell you how many times they would chew me out for asking a year, make, and model instead of just going back and grabbing part X. Then the next day they chew me out again when I refuse to let them return the part that was obviously for the wrong engine and they tried to ghetto-rig it on and it broke. I guess I've been in the auto industry longer than shooting, but there no doubt is a large portion of idiots in any industry or hobby.

    This is why I stopped looking at arfcom for pics, people were just too stupid. I even stopped posting on calguns for a few years now since that place has got to shit too.

    Any other forums to look at besides m4c and wevo?
