Consider, that Brad hasn't even fired the gun yet, versus someone like yourself who probably took it right to the field and started using it right away. There's the difference. His expectations of the very little things are quite different from an end user.
Likewise, where I specialize in 1911's & Hi-Capas, I work on a little things in the guns that end users would never care to think about, nor know to look for it till 5k or 10k rounds later, an issue would have popped up because of it. Not a single one of my pistols are ever fired, before I've completely gutted it and built it up to what I would expect to be "acceptable." (and you CAPS guys know how many times I've showed up at a match, firing a gun that's never had a round shot through it before... LOL)
Brad's not saying his gun wasn't working right out of the box. He made no mention of things blowing up. He's just saying that in his particular application, several parts weren't compatible (due to non-standard dimensions), and there were a number of annoyances that he didn't find acceptable to his standard.
His point still stands, that he can tell FCC or DTT about the issues, but if he's one of the most qualified technicians in North America to get it fixed anyways (he's not saying he couldn't get it fixed... he's perfectly confident in doing so), then he might as well do it himself. At the end of the day, he just wants to get THIS gun up and running. I'm sure DTT and FCC have, or will, see this thread and see what issues he has with it. Neither him, nor myself have any doubt otherwise. It could very well be the first time they've heard of these issues, but it's also the first time Brad's got this kit in his hands.
