98Z5V Posted October 15, 2012 Report Share Posted October 15, 2012 Maybe two, if Tom can show me how to build a <21" AR Pistol to fit in my saddle bag :)Rob, I think I can get it down to right around 18", in transport-mode. It would definitely be less without a pig, and just the A2 fh on there. Possibly 17" in transport-mode. My "surprise parts" are supposed to ship tomorrow, so we'll know in a couple more days. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Battle Arms Dev Posted October 16, 2012 Report Share Posted October 16, 2012 Thank you guys, who among you gents contacted Brownell's? I submitted something to staff for review, I never heard from them though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I got ahold of them, about the "Verified Reviewer" status, and this topic in specific. <thumbsup> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robocop1051 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Thank you guys, who among you gents contacted Brownell's? I submitted something to staff for review, I never heard from them though.I have to admit, I wrote a note to Brownells about that post. I was very tired (and a little inebriated). I clicked the "Report" button to send a note directly to the office. I mentioned that the supposed "gunsmith" poopoo'd a product without actually deducing the error in the product. Someone who claims that kind of experience has a responsibility to provide more information when they post a review. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robocop1051 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I'm not a gunsmith by any stretch. I consider myself more a "Tinkerer Extraordinaire". I have just enough tools to get me into trouble, a dremmel and an imagination. Nothing in life is 100% compatible. Building a rifle is like building a relationship. You have to work at it, and it takes a compromise from both parts to get harmony.Whoever heard of a gunsmith that quit on a product like that? It doesn't take a genius to see that BAD Inc is displayed in nearly every rifle advertisement across the Internet. The BAD-ASS product placement has become the Pepsi can of the gun world. What gunsmith worth his salt, would deny the experience of EVERYONE ELSE over his own inability to install an ambi switch. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 From what I've seen in the past 20 years, you have gunsmiths and then you have "gunsmiths".The latter are people who play lego or Lincoln Logs with parts replacement or cleaning a few times, then claim the moniker "gunsmith".Remind me of those who claim to be "tool and die" makers, when all they've done is sharpen dies and punches in a tool room. I've worked with tool and die makers and they are some bad-ass mutha fuckers!Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Battle Arms Dev Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Some gunsmiths don't work on black rifles and are not familiar with them, their ego is such that black rifles seem beneath contempt, but they don't bother learning about them. Tolerance stacking is common place with any system, with the AR, more so, because of the sheer number of different products produced by different companies :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
98Z5V Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 with the AR, more so, because of the sheer number of different products produced by different companies :)Exactly. Tolerance stacking can kick our collective asses at times. As a manufacturer, just for lowers, you might get in 100 raw forged lowers. You machine them into final finished form. Most of this is CNC now. What do you think those bits look like for Number 98, 99, and 100 out of that batch? Dulled, not cutting as smoothly or accurately, etc. That's how we sometimes get out of spec parts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
planeflyer21 Posted October 18, 2012 Report Share Posted October 18, 2012 Good CNC machinists (not button pushers) are going to comp their cutters every third part or so (compensate by editing the program for tool size, after measuring whichever bit is in question).0.0005" worn off can be problematic with the right parts.Every arms/parts maker could take a cue from Savage and how they do their in-process Q/A.Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaDuce Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Brother, you have been living under a rock... ;D Close. Actually, I've been living under a car. I'm trying to financially and work wise tie things up for the winter so I can get back to gun stuff for a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IowaFClass Posted November 24, 2012 Report Share Posted November 24, 2012 Added my review. I have 3 of them now and do not consider anyother safety for my rifles. Even put one in a friends rifle the other day because his didn't feel right, it does now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
