How is a stock mod not safe?
Tango18A said:Not some web site selling it, I don't think we have enough money floating around in the CF to buy and trial every option out there.
That's why we went for the lowest bidder cheapest sh^t. Got it. In fact I KNOW we don't have enough money... several PRes units aren't parading or cut down on parading because of the no $ issue.
Tango18A said:It doesn't do much good to Johnny Canuck engaging the TB out in the middle of nowhere, to have his personal buttstock shatter in the middle of a fight, when his issue one is sitting in a MOB box back in KAF.
I haven't seen or heard any notable companies stock "shatter" in a TIC. Have you? What happens when the issued sh^t blast apart? You get a new one... a broken stock shouldn't really matter as long as the TUBE itself isn't fracked you can still fire.
Tango18A said:Soldier1stTradesman2nd- Not once did I say Illegal, I said Unauthorized. Just as I said above, there is one standard of butt stock and of handguard purchased by the CF to a standard determined by the CF.
Which is done without consulting many people, without looking at the world around them, without noticing that our US counterparts have moved to a completely RAILED system, and since many things have to be attached now, the fracked up front mount where there's literally NO realestate is worth SFA.
Tango18A said:Can you with out a doubt tell to what standard the furniture you have purchased with your own funds from supplier X has been manufactured?
Uh... YEAH. TOP NOTCH QUALITY. Troy, Knights, MagPul are ALL top notch quality manufacturers that have had more of their products in war zones, tried, tested and TRUE then our fracked up designs. Where have they been trialled? In a controlled environment? Some where in Pet? Suffield? Canaught? NDHQ? Please... why do you think more and more troops are getting their own rails? Because it works that's why. Because some of us are not so fracked up in thinking that... "well if it works for the US... it sure won't work for us. Lets put out a tender and ASK Canadian companies which have ZERO experience to build stuff" Yeah... great... 20% solution.
Tango18A said:No, and neither can I, but the furniture that is presently on the C7A2 has been built to a specific standard.
Yeah... sh^t standard.
Tango18A said:That is why its an Unauthorized mod with out Commanders permission overseas.
One day... ONE day... we're all going to wake the frack up and say... "Hey... lets not reinvent the wheel anymore, lets try to use thigns that's already been proven in combat, and that works not just for one system but for all!" GENIUS!! FREAKING GENIUS!!!
I mean don't even bring up the "US isn't us" crap. We use C7/C8, they use M16/M4... wait a minute, the last time I checked they're the SAME DAMN THING. So if ONE furniture works on the M16/M4 series why won't it work on the C7/C8 series? Oh that's right, because we're too damn stubborn and stupid to realize that we're wasting TIME, and MONEY on more staff to do useless research then to pay attention to what's already available! If it's NOT available, then by ALL FRACKING MEANS do some research, until then maybe we can worry MORE about what fracking works, then what new crappy ass sh^t we're going to give to the troops NEXT time.
JEBUS!
