Better with the photo <a href="http://s1102.photobucket.com/user/M9M4/media/SmileySPIDERman.gif.html" target="_blank">http://i1102.photobucket.com/albums/g450/M9M4/SmileySPIDERman.gif</a> It was the only reason for the breakage ? Are you asking if there was breakage due to other reasons????........such as the bolt carrier and buffer slamming into the rear of the receiver extension thousands of times causing fractures???? I don't know that for a fact, but it seems plausible. |

You get more buttstrokes per commie with a reinforced receiver.

it supports the threads for receiver extension more. You get more buttstrokes per commie with a reinforced receiver.

I've always assumed there was some breakage issues and thus the thicker ring. |

i was told (by someone who was THERE! and KNEW! this for a absolute FACT!) that during basic they (he, GI's) were taught to use the butt of the weapon to slow you down going prone on the run. one hand on the handguard, one at the "waist" of the rifle, dive for the ground using the rifle as a buffer then come up firing.
he said he had one (A1 ) break on him,didn't say if it was the tube, the stock, or the receiver, just "it broke". but sheesh basic training rifles gotta be abused. its just part of the A2 "improvemnet" package, and it probably didn't hurt the durability. if McNamara hadn't been long gone, we could blame it on him. now i have seen video where either special forces, or LEO SWAT teams use their carbine as "steps" (2 guys hold each end while a third uses it as a step (on the run) to vault over something) THAT's gotta be tough on stuff. |

That's a very old trick, back to the wood and steel days of rifle construction.
