I just go off the horn with Ron Norton of Inland

[DaveHH]

Ron did this to demonstrate that his cast receivers and bolts are fine, as long as they receive their proper care. Shot to destruction, he proved that, even without lubrication that they could be fired to nearly 1/3 the life demanded by the USGI endurance specifications.

This was one way to prove it.


Give that some thought.

With all due respect: I don't see how this proves much if anything. How does his product compare heads up with the real thing? US carbines went the full 6K, some were just cleaned and sent out for issue after the test. So he broke his new gun in 1800 rounds? This is like taking a brand new car, draining all of the oil, and driving it until it seizes up and dies and then telling people it is a great car. Why?? I'd like to hear more about shooting 1" groups at 100 yds with a carbine.
