So, just because I got curious I went and pulled the bolt out of my DPMS rifle.. wouldn't you know, gas key is staked.
Huh, go figure.
Huh, go figure.
Now, I ask you why something so vital to a reliable carbine is skipped by some manufacturers?
When guys like Pat Rogers, who see more rounds go downrange in a month than we can shoot in years say "this works, and this breaks," I listen. If you think you know better, spend your money as you see fit. Why anyone would spend $1k on a piece of **** Olympic when you can have a BCM or Colt for just a couple bucks more is unfathomable to me."Everyone bashes Olympic nonstop. However, most of those are based on second- or third hand accounts"
Exactly!!!
Most people who try to convince you to buy Colt, etc are also selling rifles for a living, they know the price they pay is the same or within a few bucks, but the profit margin is alot higher on the retail end.
Theres always a million 3rd party comments about certain models failing all the time in carbine classes, but why is it that nobody has ever seen these failures. Why is it that those who have actually taken the classes have seen failures among colts more consistantly, but the whole broad range of manufacturers present? Hmmm...
Choose what brand you wish to, I have a DPMS and have experience with other DPMS, I have a Bushmaster (also experience with others), and have more experience with more Milspec colts than most will ever see in their lives (I dont see anything wrong with owning them but their price for what you get).
I looked at getting an LMT, and was a few clicks from ordering, but decided that what i really wanted was a gas piston carbine.
Brand snobbery runs rampant here.
Thank you Howe! Thank you very much
Exactly......meaning BS…..I would venture to say that more politics and pocket lining go into determining "MILSPEC"
