  1. I was looking for a video I found of a guy that adapted a drum and did an odd bump fire, I guess, it was in my YT favs, but I don't see it, and there are a good number of videos in my guns playlist that have been removed/privated so it is likely one of those.

  2. Syndicate- I was alluding to the fact that we shouldn't have to be concerned about a crime happening (and needing to defend against it) in those places. We should not need a gun in a school, theater, etc... BUT... sometimes we DO need one, and so those of us who are willing and able, should be able to be properly equipped. smile.png

     

    That didn't really come across in my previous post, sorry about that. :cheers:

     

    Ah ok well said.

  3. This is what happens when you hear phrases like "an AR is an AR" and "You're paying extra for the name". I dont care what you think of the TDP but it shows, and you know, exactly what your rifle is made out of and what standard it followed. ANYTHING can and will break, plenty of AKs and Glock break ....shit happens. But buying an AR from any Jonny come lately manufacturer to save a few hundred $$$ will result in shit like this. Where did that bolt come from? Who made it? Was it outsourced to some other company? What steel did they use? Was it properly heat treated/molded/machined? Sure some work....law of large numbers....but are they just barely holding up to your 1000 rounds a year and will they hold up to actual stress.

     

    I'd never buy one of those Bushmasters, Windham, Century, ...etc....etc...First none of them are cheap. Its not like paying $5 for a crappy cell phone case that breaks in a week and you toss it. ARs are at least $500 and up so I'd rather spend a little more to get a name that I can trust. If I can spend $500-$800 on a shitty AR I can come up with a few hundred more for a good one. Second, none of my guns are rare, collectible, or safe queens. I do not buy a rifle just for bullseye or any other competition shooting or just as a range toy (seriously? Range toy? Why?). They are all tools. They will get used. There is no way Im going to bet my life on a Bushmaster or similar lower quality AR

     

    Exactly my point a million times to people.

  4. We have made changes to BOTH the hammer and disconnector, niether will work without the other. It will only be sold as a complete set , for those who bought our earlier version, we will make provisions for them to upgrade if they wish.

    Excellent, so it's another redesigned and improved part for the MKA, good stuff. I as thinking it is the springs that were accounting for the poundage reduction. So I bet with this design and some tinkering even more reduction can be had? IE spring set replacements like an AR FCG.

  5. I want it to be 100% reliable and I don't know if I never noticed it or it's changed, but there's a bit of "slack" distance if that makes sense, it seems like it's weak at the end of the stroke in other words. also the resistance when I pull the bolt back increases greatly at the halfway point even with the frog lube and smoothing of the carrier it's still odd, I'm wondering if that is affecting my cycling of light loads also.
