I wish the good ones would all come over to the promise land. Being a former Okie myself, I’d love to be able to talk Okie with’em.

Being an Okie is like being a Marine. You ain't never gonna be anything else.

Most of the good ones went to Oklahoma Firearms and Outdoors, but it's pretty quiet there. You guys are more lively than the FAL Files. I think you picked up a lot of youth with this AK thread and migration, which helps a lot.

I have heard that the Russians would piss down their barrels to clean them after firing corrosive ammo.

So would American (and presumably everyone else) soldiers shooting muzzleloaders. Seems to be SOP to piss down the barrel and swab clean. Bet that smelled good around the campfire.

I wish I was in Snellville right now, lol. I have some really nice AR's that haven't seen the light of day in a while. Those 2 consecutive KAC lowers are nothing, lol.
Everybody’s Somebody in Snellville!!!!
Unless you’re nobody, then you’re just like everybody else in Snellville, and can’t stand the traffic on 78. Or 124. Or Ronald Reagan Parkway.

I have no lancers. Should I?
Nah. GI mags won’t crack in 15 years. Might not happen at the feed lips, but transparent and translucent plastics are inherently weaker and more prone to breakage.
I’ve got one Lancer mag in FDE. It’s nice, but I still prefer GI mags.

You are thinking Magpul.

Why is this?
Because when mixing plastics, they mix in Carbon Black, which creates long carbon chains and creates a lot of strength in the polymer. But in translucent or clear plastics there’s little or no Carbon Black. So over time these types of plastic/polymer are just plain weaker. Granted, these Lancers have steel fees lips, so they’ll hold up pretty well overall, but I’d expect in a dozen years or so to start seeing spider cracks at the stress points where plastic meets steel, and at the floor plate.
Solid color plastics, and especially black, will always hold up better. I’d say a Lancer in black would be better than a Magpul, but not necessarily better than a GI mag. YMMV.
