Also, I seriously doubt that an extra ounce in a guide rod is going to make the difference between life and death. This comment is often made by the same people who think they have to have a steel mainspring housing and extended mag well. Where's the sense in that?"
Dude! Chill out. They are just guide rods! While I appreciate some of the points you made, especially your call for "real tests," and that you fail to believe anything contrary to your opinion without real tests, do notice that your opinion is just that, an opinion. So why the condenscending attitude to people with whom you don't share the same opinion? The attitude you expressed in the first half of this thread seems very different than the attitudes of other moderators in the Forum.
At least I took the time to address the issue in a methodical manner. I realize that you don't feel my test was valid, but you haven't actually produced any better information for or against the use of FLGRs.
Instead of stating your opinion as some form of hard fact that exists until proven otherwise by tests you sanction, how about you doing those tests and let us know the real truth about FLGRs based on data and reproducible results? I will gladly wait for the data sheets, pictures, and eyewitness accounts you gather to be posted.
