I was short with you, but you are hardly innocent of the "rudeness" you so detest in me. You responded here and by IM with unnecessary insults. Unlike you, though, I was not "pained" by this. Welcome to the internet. You've only been here twice as long as I have. If using the word "clearly" is so injurious to your psyche, I suggest you seek counseling.
What you "suggest" is not possible. There is no "temporary" barrel extension attachment. Quality barrel manufacturers will attach the barrel extension after the finish process.
See my post on 5/7/2010, just
slightly before your "response to (my) rudeness" brought out my "knowledge of the situation" -
http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=124&t=495986Quoted:
Is the gas port melonited, or was that drilled after the finish process?
And Adams Arms' response -
Quoted:
The barrel extent is melonited along with the rest of the barrel and the gas port was drilled after the meloniting process.
While I don't think that melonite is the best for the barrel extension, they
are approaching the situation from the right angle.
Which brings me back to the very first post I made in this thread:
Quoted:
This is not practical for a barrel that has already had the gas port drilled and the barrel extension attached.
It's
that simple.
The sooner you understand this, the sooner we can move on to arguing about other pointless crap.
