I can understand supporting local. But I prefer supporting companies based off the quality of their product. To each their own.

Really neither is all that great. In fact I believe Fulton does (or at least did) get their parts from DPMS. And DPMS is pretty much the bottom of the barrel. There are so many other good options out there. Don't limit yourself.

Lightweight http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.950_JDJ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B0klzzOuRX4 3600 grain bullet at 2200 FPS for just under 39,000 ft/lbs.

You are worrying about a non issue. Riding the charging handle home will lead to malfunctions.

Take the firing pin out and take a look at it. They are light. Not near enough mass to cause a slamfire. The only way that can happen is if something has jammed the firing pin forward.

AR15s have free floating Firing pins. They will all leave that dimple on the Primer. it is nothing to worry about. You should not be cambering and rechambering rounds however. Load and shoot :)

They added a ridge along the top that diverts gas away from the face. In addition it "wraps around" the opening much like the PRI gas buster does. http://www.bravocompanyusa.com/BCM-GUNFIGHTER-Charging-Handle-GFH-Mod-4-p/bcm%20gfh%20mod%204%20556.htm If you look at the photo in the above...

Have you tried the new version of the BCM. It is actually built to reduce gas in face like the PRI is.

The mod4 or mod5 are on every rifle I own.

Sadly this is not uncommon on gun forums. People post looking for confirmation of their own personally held ideals. If they do not get it then they will dismiss those experiences that do not line up with their beliefs or desires. It is why we see posts like "Well mine has been flawless for...

Because I believe that if I am buying something for another person I should not be buying junk. And that is exactly what Olympic arms is. They are a company that takes no pride in the product they put out. They only take pride in their marketing. AR15s of any type operate at high...

I love my wife too much to ever buy her something made by Olympic Arms.

You can care or not care. And I have not said one thing about Rumor. And they are no longer looking for a replacement. The SCAR was the only real contender and even it is out of the running.

If you put a heavier barrel and Gas tube on an M4 I am pretty sure it would hold up just as well. In fact this is one of the things they proposed after some of the tests. Still not the main purpose of the M4 or the AK. Look at the tests that were done and what it took to make one fail...

By the way. I love the AK platform as well. I think it is a reliable and underrated weapon. The accuracy is better than people give it credit for and the design while old is still viable. But I refuse to as you put it "Drink the koolaid" for anything. I use what works. If it doesn't fit...
