My O My.

Poor 'ol MRC is just smitten with bad luck and Murphy rolled into one package.

I think I will dig out my two M99's and take a look, and maybe a photo to post here. My recollection is they look a lot better than the one in the above photo. They are from the first run way back, so maybe a lot has changed with the M99's since then. Luckily they are 4140, not SS. Both have been silently sleeping in their shipping boxes for many years.

If anyone does not know this already, The MRC PH has generated 4 pages of cussing and discussing over on the AR site.

I think Jeff at MRC has had a lot of trouble with partners falling out, not enough capital, problems with suppliers and a whole host of other problems. Hope he gets through this storm.

I still believe he is short on machining knowledge, although he may have some savy in developing a product. I think a good gunbuilder with an industrial machining background could help him out a lot, it sure looks like whomever he is dealing with for machining and the firing pin issue is pulling a real scam job on his company.

Back to the SS issue, wonder if he is accomplishing X-Ray and Ultrasonic inspections on the actions? Sure would be a good idea, considering the potential liability if one lets go. Remember, the actions are investment castings, not machined from the solid, so hidden flaws can develop in the casting.

I would sure like to see a photo of the failed action.
