    The cause is reportedly due to it being built by Century. They turn out an incredibly varied lel of quality, most of it “not good.”

      Still, checking certain basic things should be done before taking the weapon from the FFL.

    If you buy ANYTHING from CIA, you should have it inspected by a gunsmith, the grinder-monkeys are not to be trusted.

      Uncool, hawke.

      Even we drunken lower primates armed witch machine tools have standards.

      We do not work for Century or Kel-Tec.

      No primates are employed there, not even lemurs.

      Now, I’m off to toss a few back and bang on some $#it.
