"You know they're made of the same aircraft grade aluminum as the landing gear on Jet Aircraft"... No, actually they are not... Though I remember one "gun writer" who repeated that little gem like a bobblehead anytime the Talley LWTs were brought up. He was corrected by an actual aircraft engineer, on this site, a few years back. Would mention a name, however, he frequents this site AND does not take kindly to being seen as anything but THE authority on such matters...
Makes me wonder how much "common knowledge" is repeated claptrap, with those in the know not taking the time to set the record straight. Lest they ruffle sacred cow type feathers and argue with idiots. BTDT...
People actually commenting on their own area of expertise. Damn, what a concept. It may catch on but I doubt it...
