    I am have a hard time understanding how this guy managed to take over 16 minutes to review a stick-on rubber foot.
    If it's true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

      I am have a hard time figuring out how a grown man forgets proper English over the world wide web.

      BLUF- It actually took me two months and a thousand rounds to see if the rubber foot would really it would stick-on.

        You can blame the tech, if you insist on picking the nit.

        What do you blame for your own grammatical cross up?

            Forgive me for confusing you. Your attempt at humor did not deliver the anticipated punch you expected.

              Do we really want to get into copying the trolls by attacking typos rather than the content?

              Ask oneself how much video time is really needed to demonstrate that an item will survive thousands of rounds? As one who has frequently been guilty of allowing the number of words, rather the quality of succinct language, to describe the challenges of an effort, I have some sympathy for those who fall into the same crevasse.

              Nonetheless, I read post #2 as something that should have been taken as constructive criticism directed at all who would
              like to create marketing videos and not necessarily the creator of this particular one. Consider, the 16 minute version as a trial run. Then ask oneself how much important is lost if compressed to four minutes. Repeat for two minutes, the. create a one minute version. Finally, could it be done with still images and well-chosen text?

              Where the slimming process stops will depend on a lot of factors, but I truly respect those who can do it well!

                Joe - it only just dawned on me that the video was posted by its author. Apparently, I’ve struck a nerve, and my comment was taken personally. A shame when someone can’t take a little constructive criticism.

                But since I am now aware, allow me to apologize if I hurt your feelings, mdewitt.

                  Forget the grammar...Why add something to the gun that costs money when you can take something off for free (two coils), and achieve the same outcome?

                    Klem. I think the reason why this product will probably sell well is simple because most ar owners don't no how too tweak i.e. fix things. Are they are simple just too lazy too work on their weapon no matter how simple it maybe.

                    For the wal-mart shopper style ar owners, who buy and shoot ar's but never really learn how to fix or really properly clean their weapon this will be a quick easy fix em up, that they can show off as gun porn.

                    I did as you said I cut the coils down and bam perfect. But I still may buy one of these just too give a lil more care to my brass.

                    Good friend of mine is always asking me about ar parts. Thinking it's the next best thing or will make him more tactical or look more bad to the bone. Aka mall-nijia.

                    As for the vid review a bit long but a good review. And I will probably pick on up just to see what it's all about and see if it will do anymore for giving better care of my brass on ejection. Not that it really needs it after cutting the coils down but lil bit more never hurts.

                      A5blaster - if you really feel like sticking something to your brass deflector, go to your local Ace hardware store and buy $3 worth of adhesive vinyl pads. That 9 pack should protect your brass on multiple rifles for a long, long time.

                        Oh I know. Like I stated I already cut down the spring and dented case mouths went away.

                        But I just thought I would give a few bucks to a new company and product. Not that my rifle needs this but be cool too see how much more gentle it would treat my brass along with the lowmass bcg and adjustable gas and now a cut down ejector spring.

                        Plus this thing should treat my brass like a new bore baby lol.

                          Now that you've done the spring fix does your brass still make contact with the deflector?

                            Really not sure. I would say it's not since I'm not getting any dents in the case neck anymore.

                              Can we pull the plug on this thread? All the wa wa and self righteousness. Jesus, reading this was a waste of time.
