Na, it’s not defensive. It’s about the fact that there is always one asshole in every pack. Usually that dude totes a police surplus glock 19 and a Smith and Wesson AR. Fact is I just didn’t post and entire set. I couldn’t get it all in frame if I wanted to. I have had gun fights with way shittier equipment than this. A brain bucket, lbv, and 20” barreled A2 while I wore green camis in the desert with black boots. I can fight an absolutely have myself equipped appropriately. If there is a piece of equipment that proves itself to be needed, it will go into the pack. This photo is hardly the pack.

Smith & Wesson AR

(Shudder. I used to be a gunsmith, they were my most common rifle to repair)

Want to see a picture of a friends s&w? It’s in my work bench at home right now. His barrel nut was a bit over tightened. It was also over clocked, causing the gas tube to be out of alignment with the gas key.

That pivot pin lug was busted while REMOVING the barrel nut.

Honest to god I’d rather see people buy palmetto state than S&W or ruger.

Damn. Frickin assemblers not bothering to torque TO spec, not PAST spec.

I’ve never seen a pivot pin lug break from removing the barrel nut. That’s some crazy shit.

I ended up cutting it as deep as I could with a dremel. Making sure I didn’t get into the barrel shoulder or extension. I did that on two sides, opposite of each other. Then it broke off in two pieces when I took it off. Reused his barrel and built out an all new upper. He is better off now.
