Yes Jeff, most of us, who didn't just fall off the turnip truck are well aware of that. Many of us are also well aware of the fact that civilians, like Glenn Zediker and company, are the ones who figured out how to make the AR dominate Hi-Power.
The fact still remains that Henry Ford didn't invent the automobile.... [/quote]
Zedicker, with his pathetic abuse of the English language, only mostly reported on what was going on, on the competitive line... There are many others out there, and they don't include me much, that actually started the AR off into the highpower game and make it a winner.....
Authors usually are like that though, they are a different breed of folks compared to those that get it done. And they have to be.
I can read about anyone but Glenn,(or any of the fulton armory kuleck stufff) I have 2 of his books and have never made it to the end of either one, since he has a degree in English that according to him, allows him to butcher the language much like stick. And think its cool.
Henry Ford did a great job with the assembly line. And managing a business.
But its common for the folks that do the grunt work, to never get the credit. I listened to an after action report on Saturday here.... it certainly applied some credit to a person, but also added a few that were not involved until they were shown the issue...
Not than any of this matters. The 77 has not changed other than cannelure and the military finally came up with a load that worked for them, as the civilians had done years before.
