You've shown your true colors.

[milboltnut]

and so have you... instead of coming here acting like you know.... find something else to do like putzing.

Putzing..you must mean like sending pm's such as this.

putzing
Just in case you don't know what that means....

engage in inconsequential or unproductive activity

Someone admits they were under a misguided impression for a long time....so you not only flame, twist their words to suit your frustrated temper, but try to kick them off a board too? When did you buy this domain?
Life must suck for you.

Go ahead and get in your parting shot for the sake of bragging rights if it makes you feel so good. I won't see it. In all the years I've been on this board you're only the second to ever go on my ignore list.

This guy has pulled the same trolling/flaming on other well respected folks under a different alias on other boards. Use the ignore feature and rest assured your input is still appreciated by sane people. Even if you're a cubby fan!

Yea, and he got banned from the CMP Forum on Wednesday!!!! Only took him 6 weeks....

What are the chances that those milling cuts in the follower rib are there to make the follower just a little less heavy? In my time as a tool/die maker, I have seen a lot of parts that were machined or drilled to remove metal (weight) in such a way as to remove weight while not making the part weak. An ounce here, an ounce there -- Regards, Johnny Lawson

Yeah, I figured that was a "must do" right off. Found out others have already clicked him too. He can write what he wants but few will see it.

Been a lifelong Cubs fan. Lived only a couple of blocks from Wrigley. Moved there in the late 50's through the mid 70's. Can't change now

Heard that from a couple of CMP'ers too. Was going to drop all this but figured a 'Thank You' for some moral support was in order. Thanks.

Johnny,
the more I look at it, the more the machining on the left side of the center rib doesn't have anything to do with the magazine follower depressor. It slips into the magazine above the follower.

Those machine cuts don't seem to be used for it. The center rib is what staggers the rounds, and that's it.

Actually there is a lip on the left side of the magazine follower depressor that fit into the groove cut on left side of the follower.

[milboltnut]

do you have one that you could take a pic of to show?.. I'd be interested to see.

[johnny l.]

milboltnut, I did not say anything about the magazine follower depressor at all. I said that I thought that the milled out areas on the follower's left side could simply be there in order to make the follower weigh less. The same thing is done to some butt stocks, a hole is drilled in the butt in order to remove weight from the stock. The butt plate covers the hole. That hole is not meant to be used to store a cleaning kit. Regards, Johnny Lawson

milboltnut--

I will get a pic of the follower and magazine depressor together, but please give me several days.

Thanks

Late to the support end but fully agreed. Real attitude.
