About 15 years ago there was a [bleep]-show thread here about BLR gears. Folks saying if you racked the BLR too hard it would strip the gears....folks saying the gears were made of plastic....all sorts of half-truths and lies. First of all, the gears aren't plastic, but there is a delrin or plastic bushing in there somewhere - the plastic was supposedly used because it's more "slippery", allowing for smoother function. I'm not sure about the stripped gears due to aggressive racking.
