I got something for everybody, take it to a freakin gunsmith and pay him 5 bucks and he'll fix it in about 3 minutes. Oh yeah, and the MIM parts being bad...somebody needs to learn a little about metalurgy before they bash MIM parts. I don't know how many of you know anything about cars but MIM parts are made in a manner that is very similar to GM's "powdered metal" connecting rods in their engines. Powdered metal rods are made of compressed metal at extreme heat that produce connecting rods in small block V8's that can handle upwards of 500hp...it used to require forged steel rods to take that kind of abuse. You don't see a lot of LS1, LS6, LS2, LT1, LT4 camaros, corvettes, firebirds, LS series small blocks in 99 up silverados that are beaten on for hundreds of thousand miles fail due to a broken rod, and the powdered metal rods are the reason. New metals and newer forming techniques produce stronger steel products than we had 10 years ago. The trucks we all love to drive have frames that are so light that you can cut a 2 ft lenght of frame rail out and carry it around with one finger. Newer steel and methods are better. Strength wise, MIM parts are comparable to forged parts from years gone by. Those against MIM, need to get with the program and join the rest of us in the future. Nobody thought that a "plastic gun" could stand up for any length of time but the "plastic" used is better these days than in the 1950's, so are the metal products produced now.
