    I once bought a 5qt jug of Mobil 1, got it home, and it was full of used oil. I unscrew the cap and inspect the seal every time now.

    I deeply wish I could say something appropriately reverent, respectful, and meaningful here... but words fail me.

    I ended up betting in both directions; stacking magazines and parts and the scary-looking guns I could, and augmenting those scary-looking guns with things like bolt guns, lever guns, and revolvers. ...

    When contacting customer service, it's best to succinctly explain how and why you're not an idiot. Because experience and numbers teach CS reps to assume people are idiots.

    You mean to say, I can buy aftermarket sights for a Glock 20 or 21 and they drop right into one of these?
