Chris,
Count me in on signing a petition. I was on a first name basis with Dick Ducharme, the Service Manager, and technicians Larry Meyer and Don something, for most of 2002. They finally sent a replacement rifle with a pinned compensator, but I still had to fix the loose fitting magazine, smooth out the leaving magazine lips, take out the slop between the frame and receiver and loc tite the sight screws before it would shoot without jamming or things falling off. The journey has been ugly, but I have certainly learned alot about this rifle, both inside and out!! It has been a "labor of love" as others have mentioned before. I can't tell you how much fun my son and I had last week when we shot 200 rounds through 3 different XXX mags and had 'zero' stove pipes!!! It was awsome!!!
