Please reread my post before assuming I find that amount of malfunctions acceptable. And what that has to do with manufacturers means nothing; I don't use steel in ARs, period. I don't trust any of them enough to warrant the use of straight walled steel cartridges, they're just too fragile of a design.I think it is.
I'll be sure to remember your position on this the next time AR15 manufacturers become a point of contention/comparison, though.
I'm a little under 700 rounds into my new AR15. That's 20+ magazines (at 30 rounds each) without any kind of hiccup whatsoever...and I'd still like to get more through it before really coming to any definitive conclusion. If it had 2 malfunctions (or even 1, honestly) during that time I would be quite unhappy.
You'd have seen I agreed with your point had you not been so quick to argue, again. It doesn't matter if its the tenth mag or any one after the hundredth; if you take the chance to use a steel cased cartridge in a rifle that DOESN'T like it, you risk failure at a pivotal moment.
Does that explain my point? Or do we need, yet again, to throw gauntlets? All things man made at some point WILL fail. Period.
