How can you say that? I even backed my argument up with video!
the mounting issue is a limitation of the gun not the scope and not really any worse than scoping an AR with a non-removable carry handle.
True-- I cannot remember ever using the forward assist on my A2 for a reason that it was needed. I always tapped it on the range in our rapid fire strings, but not becasue it was needed, but theoretically if you had a jam or a ftf and a range observer didn't see you do it, you got no alibi for a refire-- any issue I ever had was from some crap worn out mag or ammo issues...never from the bolt not being seated all the way. I kept my rifle clean, and even during qual weeks I still gave the rifle a decent wipe down and ran a patch down the bore aafter firing days..I've used a forward assist on AR-pattern rifles all of maybe three times. My 3Gun rifle doesn't even have one.
This.One thing I find more bizarre than the sheer number of people who measure their self-worth by the objects they own or covet is the fervent devotion they show in not only defending their chosen object as though the foibles of their fetish somehow are held against them personally, but to vehemently proselytize to and denigrate those who merely opted to possess a different object or not to possess such an object at all. It is even more strange when the person in question did no more than merely exchange a few dollars for said object, contributing nothing to it's conception, design, or manufacture, but somehow feeling a sense of achievement through a simple act of consumerism. I can understand the sense of pride associated with, as well as the corresponding impassioned response to criticism of, something one has had a personal stake in creating but to throw down one's gauntlet over mass-produced consumer goods as though one's honor was somehow tied to not only the purchase of a particularly good, but the failure to purchase the same good by other people, seems a bit odd.
