Well, I see a few minor errors/omissions but he doesn't seem to have a good grasp at all on the trigger and sear thing. Do people pay money to read this stuff?
I'm speechless. WTF!
Scary part is that some people are going to believe it all and screw up their rifles then put them on the auctions.
All rather surprising after the $400,000. judgement story he included!
Has anyone here seen other articles on that site?
Is this one typical to the standard of work?
I'm gobsmacked that he's bagged bubba and then topped him!:madsmile:
Horrors! Poor fellow. Can't even properly describe how to take the rifle apart. Yet another reason I don't miss reading gun "rags".
I'll have to read it some more so that I can learn a few things about them
At least he was correct about ten dollar rifles being sporterized with unsafe triggers. I've bought one or two of those.
I know people that rely on this rag. They evaluate a lot of firearms and give instructions and "buy" opinions. It's pretty amateurish and aimed at noobies.
The thing to do is to write to the readers questions page and ask him to advise you how to set a bolt up correctly as you'd heard that there was a thing called too much 'lift'. That would get the author going.
On second thoughts....................
