If he still builds the upper with the flash hider/gas block in that condition he is a moron. He not only runs the risk of hurting himself but he gives them a reason to not replace the parts THEY damaged. I just read some pretty bad reviews about that place online and on Facebook but nothing to this degree.
Do you have a link to those reviews?
I know for sure the gas block is a no go but other than looking horrible, what wrong with the flash hider? It looks like they screwed it on and just welded it to the barrel. What am I missing?
