Is this the next overblown issue?

I just left a long winded post on the CMP site that was non-confrontational which is not true to my nature...TIM---The above quote from you is the greatest pearl of widsom on the subject. I mean it.

LOL again, you took it down! You're killing me man.

Glad I've got better things to do than worry about this. Somebody needs to get a life.

Ha ha ha, I seldom am accused of wisdom but I'll take it

We have more stuff to worry about guys, we need to prevent slam fires with spring loaded firing pins! Who will form a committee?
We need buffers to prevent receiver heel wear!
We need a steel cage trigger area within the stock to take any wood variance error out of the equation thus preventing bolt/hammer follow!
These things, along with the lapping committee, should keep us all very busy this winter.

Seriously, a guy could go nuts (or look like a total sophisticate to those who knew no better) worrying about every little thing with these rifles.

If you worry about these things because it's fun and you are trying to milk every little extra HP (to use car terms) out of this little motor, that I understand. If you worry about this stuff though because you honestly are seeking more safety, you are sick.

I was in deep on a lot of AR and AK debates for a while and the same thing happens there. Every little issue gets blown out of proportion. An AR will absolutely jam every 5th round and can't kill anything bigger than a stray tabby cat. AKs are made out of pot metal and you're lucky if you get better than 10 MOA. It gets old.

A serious question, though...I've gotten out of the EBR world and into the world of beautiful wood and metal, truly proven, battle rifles. Are there any major issues I SHOULD be concerned about? I have the Schuster (sp?) gas plug, so modern ammo isn't an issue. Anything else? My example is a Mini G, so maybe that question would be better asked over there, but I decided to atempt a minor hijacking of this thread instead. My apologies.

That post is GONE. What in the heck is going on with these posts disappearing? Does someone at the CMP not want this discussed?
