Yeah, um, we’ve been trying that and it hasn’t been going so well.

It’s kind of like US made AKs. It took the US fifty years to make an AK commercially that was as good as the Russian ones, and it still didn’t get decent until the Nodak Spud receiver showed the way. All the ones prior sucked and were unreliable. The problem turned out to be (in part) that American manufacturers were all trying to tighten up the tolerances and that resulted in AKs that don’t run.

That was the beauty of the AKs and SKSs. It’s why troops in Vi39t Nam sometimes traded their M-16s for AK or even SKS. They kept firing even when dragged in the mud. The 16s had to be kept clean in a reallly dirty environment.
