Don't sweat it. I understood what you were saying. And hey...the old home remedy sounds good to me
I just have to chuckle when I see guys out at the range, some bad-mouthing lesser brands than whatever they spent too much money on, then treat theirs with kid-gloves on. Nothing wrong with taking care of your gear. Just know that these things, especially AR's, were designed to take more abuse than you think.
And the point I was trying to make is, if one particular brand can't stand up to something as simple as being dropped, you might want to re-consider making that your go-to piece. One of my particular 'go-to, bump-in-the-night' pieces has over 8K rounds down the tube, been dropped, kicked, dragged, dunked, you name it - and keeps on ticking, and still going.
For giggles, I've tossed a [won't say what brand for fear the guys in the white coats might come and lock me up
] across some rocks and into mud several times, to make a point, then sat back and laughed at all the dropped jaws. And I've taken a few lesser brand name AR's and done the same, without a hitch, just to prove that they were every bit as tough and reliable as some of those high $$$ makes. Keep in mind, safety comes first, and I checked to ensure the action or barrel was not plugged - before firing it.But back on topic - if and when they do come back with more of those S&W's for that price, I'm sure one will find it's way home with me
