Sorry Monkey². I'm way off topic, but with an interesting anecdote.

I have a beautiful blue EAT that I'm particularly fond of. I put an Orange Mod Works PolyOx breech and plunger in it, and a 7K spring. It worked great for a couple months, then it started to have some problems, and then it had a really bad jam. It caused a crack in the bolt sled, blew out the bottom of the plunger tube, and caused some other internal damage. When you uber-mod blasters, these mishaps can happen. As they say, it's the price of doing business.

The only way to salvage it was to get a more modern EXDAT and cannibalize the necessary parts to get the EAT working again. So that's what I did. I love EATs and EXDATs, and it pains me to see a dead blaster in the basement Proving Ground. But sometime that's just the cost of doing business 😉
