There's no "badmouthing" here at all, just statements of fact based on personal experience.

Swell. So you have personal experience. Great. Except the thread is not about Leg's personal experience with the M16 or anyone's personal experience with the M16. The thread is about discussing candidates for post-Exchange manufacture in the US--hopefully on a basis more sophisticated than personal bias. Since you have stated emphatically that you don't believe any rifle is a candidate, your feedback on the quality of the M16 has no useful context. By the way, Legbreaker's personal experience doesn't add up to facts--not that you've actually given any in your tidy summation of the quality of the rifle.

Are they? Well, that's generous of you. Thanks for granting the rest of us the right to express ourselves on the forum.
