Yeah, I keep getting emails that NFA is shutting down their website, so not sure what that means for the company.

Did they get bought-out?

NSSF reports lowest gun sales numbers in nearly 6 years

Baby Boomers are ages ~64-79yrs, so not exactly big consumers of billet AR-15 receivers. There are a few out there, but nowhere near enough to drive demand from these companies.

Gen X are ages ~41-59yrs old, but are a much smaller generation than Boomers. Gen X, unlike our Boomer parents, are accustomed to hopping from job-to-job over the course of our working years, with questionable retirement and savings plans for the years around the corner. Gen X already faces age discrimination in the workforce.

Millennials at ages ~28-43yrs old are the next-largest cohort in history, so the primary drivers of consumption in the market. Older millennials have more income and employment status, as they largely followed what they were told to do with education and employment, whereas younger millennials tend to be less-employed and laden with student loan debt.

Gen Z have 58% unemployment rate, so this up-and-coming generation is really feeling shafted from an economics perspective, especially looking at income-to-housing access ratios. They get no participation trophies, and are significantly-different than their parents.

So as the former most consumption-based Boomer generation moves into nursing homes and their graves, the younger generations face a mix of success and serious headwinds economically, leaving less room for high-end firearms.

I suspect this is the driver in economy-based price points and products flooding the AR-15 and bolt gun markets over the past few years, with companies emphasizing cheaper materials and less processes, diminishing QC, offshore parts suppliers, and the inevitable shoddy workmanship that comes with skills gap and public-schooling in the lower-end manufacturing force.

What I expect to see is a series of mergers and acquisitions of many of the companies on the list, where the bigger outfits that have good business management skills and practices will swallow the smaller companies. The ones who advertise well with more modern methods and can fulfill orders with consistent product will dominate the market into the near future.

Take the hint and leave. Don't threaten to leave if they don't give you what you want, just leave.

I had an interaction with a very similar person, who was a patient. Fortunately I had zero interest in her, and did nothing, but she used to legal system to try and force me to be romantically involved with her. Cost me $20,000 and a 30 suspension from my license.
Eventually found out she would go to doctor's office, try to flirt with the M.D. (using her big boobs). If the doctor asked her out, she would say no and later file a complaint against the doctor. This was her idea of fun.

If you believe in karma or not, she had a major problem with neurofibromatosis and a huge amount of health issues. Too much light stimulation, or pressure changes in her ear, and she would have seizures. She could be walking, have balance problems, and sometimes become frozen like a statue for 20 minutes or more.

I would suggest a civil suit against the bitch but if they don't have anything, then you won't get anything. On the other hand, civil suits, even if you don't get anything from them have a way of ruining their credit rating which can cause lots of problems.

I don't know how you'd test it but I caught my issue in a similar way that you did, just knowing by feel that it didn't seem right and trusting my experience instead of believing the tool. We can't say that definitely it was the 140 in/lb torque limiter, I was just pointing out a potential cause.

OP, how did you tighten the screws down? I know you said that you followed the manual but what does that mean exactly?

We call it churrasco and use it for fajitas around here, but flank/skirt steak?

Edit: ah, flat steak. I always thought flat steaks were almost square…that one looks like a skirt steak to me.
