Oh absolutely. I've got stuff on my gun you may be appalled by and vice-versa but thats the great thing man it's my gun and it's your gun. By no means did I feel like you were trying to sway me in any direction. I just know that my KSG and RDB have held up just fine with as many take downs and rounds through them in pretty sure the Stribog will be ok. PS There is always room for improvementI get what you're saying, as they are a bummer to knock out. A good thing really.
The factory pins are a PITA, I agree.
'Don't let my opinions sway you, as that's not my intentions!!
I think if the right someone had it in their hands, with well seasoned design experience, something better could be made.
