I see a lot of rifles on the site, about which the owner states "this is just my start up gun...or...my rifle is in the early stages of development", and these are rifles with good gear on them, solid rails, good optics (Aimpoint for the most part), good lights/stock/grips/etc/etc.
Here's the crux of the biscuit as Frank Zappa would say:
What constitutes a "finished" rifle? Most of those aforementioned rifles are ones I'd go into battle with, and I've gone into battle w/ M16A2s, M4s, etc, etc.
There seems to be a bit of one upsmanship occuring here, I may be wrong, please feel free to correct me if I am. I'm just as guilty as the next guy of building gadget guns, but I think we've lost the focus of front sight squeeze...or just go shoot the damn thing because it's fun to hear it go BANG.
Thanks for your time, comments? I've got my Nomex on, fire away...
