Khyber Pass build?

You're a very smart man and your knowledge is vast,(DD) and you give a lot to the forum . (Thank You) But I see that you have to have the last word all of the time. You think no one has the right to question your wisdom(?). I mean after all, this is a discussion (forum) and we are here to learn (knowledge) and each of us have opinions. But to call someone's rifle a kp and insist before you really know, (Quote ITs made from old railroad iron/obvious counterfiet)is not right. We just learned that the rifle in question could very well be from Kabul Arsenal. But a lot of people read this forum and you gave bearhunter's rifle a death sentence. That's what I mean about an apology. If you feel it's not warranted ..ok This message is not meant to be offensive, but to give credit where credit is do. Good one , The Emperor`s new cloths meaning one should not believe everything they are told,especially if the evidence does not support the claims.. Sin of omission. Case closed

When you close each post casting aspirsion, what am I to do.

I mean after all, this is a discussion (forum) and we are here to learn (knowledge) and each of us have opinions.

You need to to go back and reread what I posted. I cite an observation to substantiate each of my opinions.

If you think I am wrong, then rebut my points with your own facts. I would like hear them. I am open minded.

But to call someone's rifle a kp and insist before you really know, (Quote ITs made from old railroad iron/obvious counterfiet)is not right.

This is what I mean by reread what I posted, because the quote you credit me is not what I said.

Bearhunter said:

...It's reputed that many of the parts and receivers are made from truck and tractor axles, which would made of good, tough steel that can be properly finished and heat treated.

I responded;

This sums it up quite nicely. It is also said they are made from old rail road iron.

Rationalize all you want, the bottom line is this rifle and al KP's are an unknown quantity. You should finish each rationalization with the statement "so far".

It is far safer to stay with a gun with a known pedigree.

It's kind of like playing the lottery, you can't win unless you play, but this is one lottery you don't want to win.

I am sorry to be so negative. The chances of an accident are slim. But there have been recent reports of failure of these guns. It's just not worth chance.

We just learned that the rifle in question could very well be from Kabul Arsenal.

Did we. We learned that the Kabul Arsenal made rifles. There is nothing to indicate Bearhunters rifle is one of these.

But a lot of people read this forum and you gave bearhunter's rifle a death sentence. That's what I mean about an apology. If you feel it's not warranted ..ok

If this was a very clearly identifiable RSAF made rifle I would still condemn it based on one factor alone--the under cut knuckle seat. That by its self condemns this rifle as unsafe no matter who made it or what it is made. Can you refute that?

This message is not meant to be offensive, but to give credit where credit is do.

It is offensive, as it is a personal attack on me, not my facts. Attack my facts not me.

Go back and read my post and tell me what fact I cited that is not supported.
