Yesterday I took it to the range for function testing and evaluation.  It was a great expereince.  It gobbled up every bit of ammo I threw in it and forcefully...

I guess there is a first time for everything.  Last week, I was performing one of our SM-1 conversions when I accidentally used the wrong drill bit to open up a gas port making the gun not only kick like a mule, but unsafe to use.  You can imagine my despair.  Not only had I wrecked a barrel, but I had to call a very nice customer and explain the error of my ways.  Luckily, he was completely understanding, and I offered to replace his barrel...
