> We can't even get anything as minor as firing pin microstamping implemented > It's shocking how effective the opposition to it has been. It's becuase the patent for microstamping is owned by a single and very litigious company [0]. There needs to be a non-patented OSS alternative, because the margins for manufacturing are extremely low. This is why there is pushback to microstamping from companies. Edit: did not realize the patent expired. Good callout. [0] - https://tac-labs.com/forensics/ https://tac-labs.com/forensics/
