Fresnel Recon_Ninja_985 Fresnel Recon_Ninja_985 Fresnel I like it. It actually does look really good. I see a little tab of black reaching into the pistol grip... no point in having the safety on with an empty gun. Cocked and locked? thanks. and nah, just a loaded magazine. (I doubt anyone in my family can figure out how an AR works with that type of charging handle) doesnt need to be chambered and I dont wanna stress the hammer spring in the cocked position over time so I leave it that way cant put it on safe unless I chamber it, which I believe to be more dangerous to others who might mess with it than to just leave it unchambered Keeping the hammer back doesn't stress anything, really. Think of it this way... it's already all coiled up with pressure on it. Keeping the hammer down only keeps slightly less pressure on it, not no pressure. I dunno. what it's in right now is the relaxed position. long periods of time out of that position will make a spring weaker It's not relaxed though, it's just less compressed. If you take it out of the gun, it relaxes farther. If it doesn't, it's either a terrible design or a bad spring. Also, the whole thing is a fallacy anyway. It's not the relaxation or the compression that weakens a spring, it's the transition between the two. +1 I can't really buy into the hammer argument. When you are at the range, look around at the old guys with their 50+ year old boomsticks. How do you think those things were stored over the summers?
@ Recon Ninja - You are trying to make me build a gun rack for my room now, aren't you.

One of the oldest guns in the book is the double-barrel, and with an internal hammer, you can't empty the used shells out without re-cocking the springs.

How do you think those things were stored over the summers? @ Recon Ninja - You are trying to make me build a gun rack for my room now, aren't you. nobody except them know how they store their rifles. it's still wisest when storing a weapon for it to be unloaded and no springs compressed. long periods of time and temperature changes can make things conform more to the state they were left in
and lol why yes I am trying to make you get one. actually I ordered that thingy. it's called a gridwall panel and it makes a badass gun rack. I can put as many weapons as it will fit whenever I please
just make sure to buy some hook faceouts to go with it. maybe like a dozen of them for putting as much stuff as you want. I bought a shelf for mine too. fun stuff.
