Years ago I bought a A-Mac, a M2 and a 1st gen Armalite AR50.
The A-Mac is brutal to shoot, the AR50 is like shooting a 180 grain bolt 308.
If I was worried I would use the A-Mac.
None of them go out very often, never really did after the first few years of owning them.
Do you have any Talon...
Interesting, I've never been on arfcom but I will see what I can come up with.
Like you I bought LC when it was $100 a belted can, now with Talon I bought well with 150 rd cans of loaded ammo and components. Ive never had a problem with any of there loaded ammo.
I was just talking to my brother...
As I recall Talon Industries shut down in spring of 07, we bought truckloads of ammo and components off the loading docks in Paw Paw. I don't recall them having any small arms ammo problems. Now a few tons of 20mm or 30MM HEI projectiles were sold to a scrapper as de-milled and they dumped them...
I usually watch a few days at my brothers house each year, he streams them from here, is what he just told me. I dont know what it costs?
I have to show up with an armload of Crown Peach, and I get in free.

I would suggest one start with a "Mousetrap" Rocker foot clutch assy. Some transmissions like my 2010 six speed on occasion are a bit difficult to get neutral each time before you get stopped. The Rocker will hold the clutch in when you want, to stop and stay in first gear. I've seen them...
