Some of the things I heard (read) said about the weakness and breakage of poly AR lowers over on the AR board.
If when the AR came out there was an internet and there was a Garand Forum, the Garand platform guys would have been "warning" about all the plastic and beercan Matty Mattels that were breaking and that gawd awful trigger.
I do recall the complaints from my late Marine Corps days and how you could break the butt stock off using the Siedler method Vertical buttstroke...do the Marines still teach Bayonet fighting?
