Those are things where it's like, oh yeah, this is, this is something we do.

Um, so from the comments here, um, we have, I watched what asking how well does it stay?

Does the gas lock stay put under heavy recoil?

Well, here in the comments, uh, he did say 458 SOCOM with 500 grain subs.

Oh, you mean like pop back and hit me on the nose?

I may have had that happen more than once.

So you did say, did you say that all of yours are made out of 7075?

Yes.

So like all the parts on it are...

So one other thing that I know, like a lot of people in our audience know, some of them might be getting to, uh, the upper receiver is generally 70, 75 as well.

So you're actually using a material that's the same hardness as what it's coming across.

Um,

I've seen it before on especially real high round counts or something that's been in use a long time.

Like my cashed out a two that I had for a while in the guard that you could see where that had grabbed and gripped and pulled apart on the upper receiver where it started to pull and having a material made out of the same where your latch is made out of the same material.

You're going to have less long-term wear than using two different hardnesses of material.

Yeah, so Country Boy Gun says, I wouldn't expect it to be any different than an A2 or a Radian, but how does it handle heat?

And with it being the same material that you have in the upper receiver, it's going to handle heat actually probably better than most just because the material is the same, so your heat conductive properties will be the same going across.

And you don't get into weird rules of thermodynamics.

And I am not going to go down that nerd rabbit hole right now because, uh, well, it is eight 48 in the evening and nobody wants to hear me start talking about thermodynamics.

So one other thing that people might not realize is anodizing isn't just to inhibit like wear and corrosion resistance and things of that nature.
