But you are stuck with the stupid Endomags.

Have you had any feeding issues with the Mean Arms Endomag?
Feeding issue isn't the problem. It's the flimsy ejectors. If the ejector gets bumped out of place like from your mag pouch, it's not going to seat at all with the bolt forward. With the bolt locked back, it'll just jam up the bolt.
They are almost impossible to seat fully loaded with the bolt forward, making mag changes almost impossible if you didn't already bump the ejector out of place. Even downloaded is still difficult.

Go with Stern Defense.
Don't use Mean Arms. The ejector is crap. I have a pile of those things collecting dust.

After shooting a few hundred SNS coated bullets with Titegroup, my comp was about 75% plugged. I tried soaking it in various solvents and also running it in solvent in an ultrasonic tank. Kroil was the only thing that manage to soften it. Took a week of soaking and scrubbing to remove all the lead.
It doesn't do it with plated bullets.

That's a pretty easy mod. I would need a few critical dimension just to verify.

I can modify the files if someone tells me what to change.

Took me two matches to get used to the mag release.

G10/FR4 is most commonly used to make circuit boards.

Don't use PLA. Won't hold up on a hot day if you leave it in the car. PLA starts softening at 130°F.

FYI 3d printed stuff isnt like a solid piece of aluminum. Internally imagine it has a honey combish structure so sanding may not be the best option.
Not necessarily true. You can print things solid, just takes more time and money.

The ejector is too flexible. When it moves on you, it'll prevent the bolt from moving forward. The mag is almost impossible to seat with the bolt forward.

I just went through the same ordeal. CLP, Bore-tech Bore Cleaner, Kroil, hydrogen peroxide/vinegar. Tried soaking overnight with the first three. Tried all four individually in a ultrasonic tank. No magical cure found.

There are a few issues with the Endomags.
The ejector is too soft. Occasionally it would move in front of the bolt and jam it up. I'm thinking of either applying some RTV or epoxy to stiffen it up, making it almost permanent installation.
2nd issue is even downloaded to 28 rounds, it is super hard to reload with the bolt forward. If the ejector moves on you in the mag pouch, you will never get it to lock.
Since the ejector is on the mag, ULSC is a different process. You need to leave the mag in place, lock the bolt back, then remove the mag. If you don't do that, you have to manually remove the round from the bolt.

Jamie is most likely a Frogman but since he is active duty he can't "Advertise" his real job.
Jamie posted his service history here http://community.history.com/topic/34444
Definitely not a frogman.

Here's the last one he did for Top Gear.

My boss got to go play at Dillon. Unfortunately he's not a gun person nor did he take anyone with him. Right now he's in a foreign country with Mike Dillon making some sales.

The Dakar Rally didn't even go to Dakar this year.

How do you watch WRC? AFAIK, it isn't shown on any american teevee stations. Speed used to carry it.
There are sites you can download the WRC. PM me if you want them. Don't want too many people with knowledge of the site because FIA might get a hold of it and shut them down or they run out of bandwidth.
WRC will effectively be dead at the end of this year. It's down to Citroen and Ford. Suzuki and Subaru both pulled out at the end of last year. Next year, they are going to use the Super 2000 rules which effectively ends the WRC cars.

I used to work with a guy, who's dad's name is Dick Stump. First name was Dick, not Richard.

I think the only connection between shooting and photography is they require some disposable income !
It's more than just money.
Sight picture = compose the shot.
Bullet type = ISO setting
Elevation and Windage adjustment = aperture and shutter speed
Trigger control = pressing the shutter without moving the camera

And just think, some people in California think it is a waste of tax payer dollars for cops to do random searches of parolees.

Saw it during Christmas in LA. Probably the funniest movie I've seen for 2008.

Because it is billet, they can charge more for it. not that it is any better.

The endomags are limited to 30 rounds. Even if you download them to 20 rounds, it is almost impossible to insert with the bolt forward.
