PG:

May be pretty soon in fact due to some news I just got about some training.

Not much to pick about the M-110. My information is that it "needs work" and that is putting it politely. Never had much luck with the SR-25 either. I have had an AR-10 for about ten years and mistrust it due to repeated failures to function. Funny thing about it and other .30 caliber gas guns is that they all seem to love that old M-852 Match but sucks with anything else.

Maybe my 'bullet grain' and 'twisted' aren't right.

I think he was trying to be glib, not using the terms literally.

Have you tried any of the new AR-10 mags? They seem to improve function significantly with mine.

TR:

Roger -- knew that. He has a sense of humor similar to mine. Very dry.

No, haven't tried new AR-10 mags as of yet. The problem wasn't necessarily with the magazines but extractor and ejector this go around. The last couple were over gassed systems common to commercial uppers. Finally I got it rebuilt with a decent gas system and a decent barrel. Still a beast to deal with. Awkward is about the best way to explain it. Not sure I want to pump more money into it but will take a look at some magazines.

A strange beast indeed.
