@TheBackOfBullet@Setrael I still think about my first MFF laying prone in the main hotel room talking gun industry gossip with the pack until 4am. Great times.
@Beastserifstar On one hand, it's pedantic nitpicking and even budget normie rifles are serviceable to a baseline now.

@snepdeer My US-made rifles are handling 50k+ psi chamber pressures across thousands of rounds just fine without failure. If you want something to take national pride in, it's italian technical ceramics for body armor, not firearms.
