    You're killing me Tim. Here are some excerpts from the GCA article. I believe there was a declaration of shenanigans.







    When dealing with liberals, always attribute to malice what would ordinarily be attributed to incompetence.

    I don't believe,

    That part of the op rod was cut with a round mill during production. There's a sharp step and you can see where the finish is worn where this area has contacted the front of the receiver during recoil.

    People that worry about lockup on a rare collectors stock. People that worry about tip dimensions on a rare uncut op-rod. People that worry about gauging a rare gas cylinder. People that worry about throat erosion on a rare barrel.
