I would save up some more money and do a retro build rather than get that.

So you swapped one crappy grip with another crappy grip? Do yourself a favor and invest some money in a decent grip like the hogue. It is only $20.

Care to provide some proof of your claim? The AR platform is more than sufficiently reliable (see any of the recent tests conducted by the military). Read about pat rogers filthy 14. The mini offers no advantage (and a number of disadvantages such as magazine selection) and at nearly the...

You missed them. Should have bought at the end of last year. They $50 + shipping (total around $60-65). AIM surplus said that the importer that they got them from cheaply would not be bringing any more in because they did not end up making enough money. If you really want one, just pay the...

I use a galco BATTL sling.

First of all, that is not a reason to deny access to them and frankly a baseless fear. Secondly, you can buy them. They are considered destructive devices, but you can still get them with some paperwork.

The calibration bb is clearly visible in the pictures.

No rifles in the bargain bin right now. OP, look at spikes tactical, BCM, RRA, bushmaster, Colt, etc. compare the features available and the price. They all have M4gerys available and are generally within 200-300 of each other. If you provide more details of what you are looking for...

No need to clean the gas tube. Just leave it be.

Dirty cases should not have anything to do with slam fires. Clean your weapon and make sure that the firing pin is properly free floating.

I highlighted the important portion of the paragraph you quoted. Viscoelastic response is insignificant at room temperature (and low strain rates) for steels and many other materials. It is insignificant because behavior does NOT significantly deviate from linear elastic response. I am well...

Well, then what was I wrong about that those pages were going to set me straight on? You said that I stated something incorrectly in the post quoted below. Please tell me what is wrong in it that is contained in the pages you linked to. I like to learn things. Can you provide some examples...

I stated this previously. This is simple physics. Equally simple is that the amount of plastic strain does not change under static loading (assuming no creep). This means that if a spring is deformed plastically when loaded it will not see additional plastic strain by being left under that...

Now we are getting somewhere. Which alloys experience significant creep at room temperature? I am not familiar with any. I have only seen creep taken into consideration at high temperatures such as inside turbines. Regardless of the answer to the above question, any alloys which may...

gun-deals.com to price shop between most all of the major online ammo places.

Ok, please enlighten me. I have looked through the material on those pages. I have seen it all before in basic engineering classes. Please quote the potions which disagree with what I have stated before because I do not see anything. Thanks for your wonderful contribution to this thread...

This is like asking if new cars are better than old or if a new PC is better than an old Apple II. No question that new stuff is better. Advances in materials, manufacturing, and engineering all result in products that are superior in every way.

Well, the veterans I know report no issues with the M4s they used in the sandbox. Anecdotal stories are meaningless. What matters is testing and data. Testing has shown that the Stoner platform is reliable in adverse conditions. As noted in a post above, testing has shown the weapons capable...

And yet the Stoner platform is widely used across the world. Also, the notion that the weapon requires high maintenance is 100% false. Properly lubed it will run fine for longer than any engagements will last. Proper lubrication is a requirement for reliable functioning of any machine whether...

You could try sanding it down since you do not have a dremel. This does not take "mechanical know how". Do you have a friend with something to sand or grind it down? This hardly requires a gun smith.
