Wes--
I hope youre not going to stop posting. I think that you have good advice to contribute to this forum and I, among others, have learned from some of your advice. However, I think you do have to admit that you would be extremly pissed off if YOU were in this guys shoes. Maybe you have had good luck with your CAI, others havent. This isnt more than an inconvenience, this is a serious compromise to this guys saftey. There was either a flaw or on overlook in the quality control in CAI's production. THIS cannot be accepted. I think that is why Stock Doc posted what he said. I would seriously shitcan the CAI if this happended to me. And as far as a pissing contest goes, youre the one who mentioned anything about one. This forum is supposed to be for enjoyment, learning, sharing of info, and just general fun for a group of guys who enjoy the M-1 Garand. Lets not turn this into a bullshit political forum like CSP.
