You send your kids out to collect plastic bottles by the roadside to
turn in for deposit? I suppose that is easier on you than finding and
keeping a decent job.

I think he is referring to your "hobby" of killing water bottles and
performing mundane tasks on firearms, routinely performed by third
world children.

Ahh, yes, I do enjoy shooting one and two liter sodapop bottles, and I'm
going to start putting Mentos in some of them. Ginger ale, I've found,
produces the biggest "explosions."

I doubt "third world children" are working on new in the box Colt AR15s.

They might have some well-used ones that Dick Cheney's corporation left
behind somewhere, though. I wonder if those kids have "Go" and "No Go"
tools in their little kits when they need to replace the barrels in
those Cheney Saturday Night Specials.

And since you are interested, I might upgrade the trigger in my AR15.
It's a "milspec" trigger with a "milspec" 6-1/2 pound pull, and is ok
but not great. I'd like a smoother trigger with maybe half that amount
of pull.

For a moment there, I thought the Ingerfool family found a good job
right out of the Grapes of Wrath.

It takes a lot more skill to keep those old M16s (and AKs) running
than a new in the box AR.
The fact that you have access to lots of off the shelf parts does not
enhance your argument.

I have no use or need for a select fire M16, though I don't see where
regular maintenance on it would be any more difficult or even
significantly different than on my AR15. There's very little difference
in stripping them down and keeping them running. Most of the parts are
identical. The key is keeping the rifle clean and lubed.

I don't know anything about the care and maintenance of the AK rifles.
They don't interest me.
