I’m sorry to hear, guys. Definitely interested in hearing updates on this. I do believe that ZOO wouldn’t knowingly do this himself, if this is the case. I’ve been around long enough to know he’s a straight forward kinda guy. He wouldn’t put something out acknowledging it being bunk product. Just doesn’t add up, other than the manufacturer or supplier being at fault. Though, I must say, I’m glad I have a decent amount of his original batch that has been known to be top notch. Same with the dmz and m1a. All are proven good to go from his original element line, that’s for sure. Regardless, I do hope your guy’s gains kick in soon and this can all be but a folk tale.
