I love your channel, and I respect your style of teaching, and Its my understanding that you’re a veteran as well…I was in the 75th ranger regiment, 2/75 from 05-2010, so you can imagine my interest in your channel in general, but specifically your videos on colt, their rise/fall, and Lmt history during the gwot…We used the colt 14.5 during that time of course but my person “go to” rifle is the Lmt, I currently own the Lmt cqb Mars (mlock) with the e-bcg and 16” barrel. My question is this, I want to make a 11.5 spare no expense build that’s Lmt/Kac sr 15 quality but not as proprietary as the sr-15. I have the Lmt upper, and e-bcg. I’ll probably get the 10” sr-15 urx mlock rail but what would you choose for a barrel? Like you, I don’t care about weight. The smallest I’d go would be a gov profile but I’d go heavier if you say so, and ultimately whatever info you give me is exactly what I’ll go with. I’m not picky, I just want something that’s durable and true to their word on quality. Much thanks, and the ultimate love and respect to your channel. I’ll continue to donate every now and again, pleasure doing business with you.

Are Mark's Tech Notes ever going to be available again, or has the State Department once again banned any good troubleshooting information from being available due to the overly vague deemed export ruling for ITAR? Mark is one of the top people in the firearms industry, someone that was logical and scientific. When the Tech Notes went away the derp from the police instructors and the internet took over. We miss Mark and all that he has done in his career.

Has a fix been developed for the West German SIG-Sauer P-series pistols with the welded slides where the dual roll pins for the breechblock break? Can a commercial spiral wound roll pin be used in place of the dual roll pins, or is there a reason for the weak link in the design?

Bonjour from Cajun Catfish. Have you ever used a pre-sanction Russian Arsenal-imported SGL-21 or SGL-31 7.62x39 or 5.45x39? They're expensive now but I think you'd really like them. Have a good night!

Just have a couple questions to submit:
The cold-hammer forged barrels that are sold by Centurion Arms, does Monty LeClair produce them in-house or are they made/supplied by another manufacturer?
Typically when an AR-15/AR-10 internal components gets overworked or over gassed, the rate of fire of that weapon usually increases, along with wear and tear. But in contrast, the AK-47 is usually over gassed to reliably function its long stroke external-piston mechanism, it seems like the rate of fire usually stays consistent with 600 rounds per minute. Could you explain how it could stay consistent and not have a higher than normal rate of fire?

This can be a topic for Thursday.
Handguns and rifles are designed for the adult male, the intended customers. There is a blind spot when it comes to properly designing and training women with firearms.
The designers and instructors don't know what it is like to use a firearm that is too big, the problem that most adult females have. A lot of bad advice and ill-fitting products happen.
As children we were taught how to design, make, and use rifles and handguns for our smaller bodies by the engineers that worked in the gun industry. We were also taught how to recognize and adapt to firearms that are too big. We never forgot those lessons that most firearms engineers and instructors never understood in the first place.
What are some other ways to help the adult male engineers and instructors better understand how to make firearms work well for women?
I believe that the engineers and instructors can do well, but recognizing the problem is super difficult. They do not know what they do not know.

What would be the procedure to set the gas regulator on the Inch FALs that do not have the last round bolt open feature?
On the Metric FALs with with the last round bolt open the procedure is to start at the lowest setting, adding more gas until the bolt locks open with the last shot. Then, add 2 clicks.
Without the last round bolt open feature on the Inch FALs, I don't know how to know that the bolt is moving all the way back.

With the advent of more US manufacturers developing their own US made AK rifles, but has any of these companies so far ever considered obtaining the original TDP from the Izhmash Plant of Russia, or thought of hiring some Izhmash engineers as consultants? – Even if a US based company is willing to pay royalties for the original design, just as long as they build a properly made Kalashnikov rifle.

The ATF's Factoring Criteria for Weapons requires 75 points for an imported handgun. Once that handgun is already imported, can that same handgun be modified from double action to single action, even though the points will drop below 75? The popular single action conversion kits for Glock pistols drop the points below 75. Everyone says that is acceptable, but law enforcement just makes up rules on their own, legal or not.

What was the actual reason for the anti-tilt followers for the AR platform?
When we were validating the followers in the MTS machines for the military the only test case we could find to cause a "tilted" follower was a about half filled magazine that was dropped. If the half filled magazine was dropped straight down in a loaded rifle in just the wrong way the cartridges could rotate and not stack pretty after the fall. The failures were always with the cartridges, never the followers tilting. The problems repeat on all of the so-called anti-tilt designs. The aluminum, black, and green followers all performed the same. The jams were always caused by the cartridges.

Going back to your quote on the AR-18 being the “Most Successful Failure,” out of all the rifles that was influenced by its design (not including hybrid designs such as the HK416, CAR816, and etc. since they use both the inline construction along with a external-piston mechanism). Which modern firearm do you believe is the closest of being the most successful that carried on the AR-18's design influence like the FN SCAR, Beretta ARX, Sig MCX, B&T APC, and etc.?
