Not off topic I think because most of the usual people are involved, and it closely paralles what passes for "expert opinion"
And, after thinking about this,,,,and having had parts made where issues came up...it's obvious that it's pretty hard in some cases to get a part to exactly duplicate the gov't part. And here lies the problem...and it's not only with the parts but with the way parts are used and assembled. Now I mean this as an honest observation...in a alot of cases, even relying on original prints no one knows what kind of revisions were done to the parts during production. And considering the ammount of time that has passed I would imagine that most of those involved have long since passed. So maybe part of the answer is not get too wild on the web untill maybe the issue is thought out. Now, my thoughtful reflection has passed...let's get back to bashing....LOL
This is a good example of the numbnutz that think they are experts. (except me of course,,,I really know I'm not an expert, just try to sound like one) Anyway, here's an example of a 258 post thread that started with a binding firing pin...which anyone probably could have fixed....then the thread consisted of alot of idealistic postings about mil-spec crap, then ended with one of the "usual suspects" once again having mud on his face...even though he employed a super flux capacitor magnatron to come to his conclusions. In the process.....one of the manufacturers was pretty much libeled in my opinion. Think some of the inhabitants of this site are familiar with this whole fiasco.....(I apologise if this has been covered before)
