I'm an electronics engineer, not a mechanical engineer, so no I don't produce mechanical devices. I have designed medical equipment, industrial controllers, and military hardware, however. I do have a few (admittedly only undergraduate) mechanical engineering classes under my belt. I own three ORF receivers, and while I've had them in a lab to have them hardness tested, I have yet to build on them because THEY ARE FUNDAMENTALLY OUT OF SPEC WITH REGARDS TO THE BOLT LOCKING LUG RECESSES. Sure one can "modify" the bolts so these things sort of work right, but let's face it, it shouldn't be that way. Pray tell us Mr. First Grade Insults, exactly what credentials do you have to assess the quality of any engineered product? And again, for the fine gentlemen gathered here, how much of your money have you put where your ORF worshiping mouth is?
Of course you won't answer that question. It's been asked here before. You'll just throw personal insults, accuse people of base emotions, and generally muddle the issue.
I'm sure you're credentialed up there with the best of them.
So why did you feel the need to take such a cheap shot about a spelling error?
No offense, but, being an electronics engineer does
not QUALIFY you to build a Galil. It hasn't done you any good with your 3 receivers has it?
You may 'think' you are
QUALIFIED to build a Galil, but, you haven't done so.
(That should have been your first clue right there.)
You 'think' that things should be different, but, they are not.
See...a
QUALIFIED builder knows that there is some hand fitting involved. He doesn't huff and puff (as you appear to be doing). He has the requisite expertise that you lack.
He just goes about and builds. The FACT that there are THOUSANDS and THOUSANDS of good Galil builds should
tell you something.
The FACT that you cling to your untenable position
tells me something...about you.
You are hypnotically (I mean this literally) conditioning to be unmoved by the reality that good Galil builds are being done
EVERY DAY. Just not by you...because you lack the expertise.
It does no good to cry about not having new IMI receivers and brand new clean IMI parts that would make an easier build. It will never happen. Those days are over. GET OVER IT.
Whether you realize it or not, this is what your were demanding (probably subconciously). You wanted an easy build that you could do.
Well, you're not gonna get it.
Your EXPECTATIONS are off. And, thus, YOU are off.
What there is is what there is. ORF receivers, US barrels and parts kits.
This requires more expertise than you currently possess and more than you
imagined. That's the problem. Reality vs your imagination. What you 'thought' it would be like is not how it is.
A
QUALIFIED builder takes 'what it is' and builds a good Galil.
A
NON-QUALIFIED builder snivels on endlessly blaming other for his own inadequacies.
"Sure one can "modify" the bolts so these things sort of work right, but let's face it, it shouldn't be that way."
See what I mean? Who told you it shouldn't be that way? Your imagination did.
"You'll just throw personal insults, accuse people of base emotions, and generally muddle the issue"
Actually, that's what you do. That's called "PROJECTION".
As far as insults go, I can defend myself from the likes of you. With ease.
If you start off confrontational with me, you ask for whatever you get.
With all due respect, I think your problem here is...PRIDE.
You started off with...
"I'm an electronics engineer, not a mechanical engineer, so no I don't produce mechanical devices. I have designed medical equipment, industrial controllers, and military hardware, however. I do have a few (admittedly only undergraduate) mechanical engineering classes under my belt. "
I get the impression that you are kinda pleased with yourself. I'm sure you are a smart guy, but, you completely missed the crucial...and very simple point.
You still haven't built a Galil.
You go on...
"I own three ORF receivers, and while I've had them in a lab to have them hardness tested, I have yet to build on them because..."
I'll finish that for you. BECAUSE...YOU LACK THE EXPERTISE.
It's no crime. Get over it.
You FAILED at trying to impress/intimidate/bamboozle me with your inapplicable academic background and nonsensical illogic.
Again, with all due respect, you are still just another guy in denial.
If you were
QUALIFIED, you'd have built your Galils.
Wake up to that.
You may wish to consider having the HUMILITY to allow that others are more
QUALIFIED than you.
You can tell those others easily because they are doing...every day...what you cannot.
A
QUALIFIED builder builds with the materials at hand. He doesn't whine resentfully about how he wishes things were like a demanding child.
(BTW, how's that working out for you?)
With all my poking fun at the yahoos of the Poison People Posse (and I include you), it is a way of illustrating that the entire problem here is PRIDE and EGO.
Look. There are plenty of others that are doing what you cannot. And they do it every day.
Because they are
QUALIFIED and you...are not.
You can stay stuck with your unfounded intellectual pride with 3 unbuilt receivers or you can gain some humilty and send at least one of them to a
QUALIFIED builder and have some fun with a Galil.
My assessment is that reason you are not enjoying your Galil builds right now doesn't have anything to do with the ORF receivers. Your problem is your unfounded intellectual pride.
"Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom: and with all thy getting get understanding"
-- Proverbs 4:7
If there is anything else I can help you with...I'm at your service.
I must warn you, though. I am more than a match for the nonsense of you or anyone else in the Poison People Posse. :angel
