William,You have a lot of valid points but there was one point you missed. I remember it was clearly stated that the $100 FD PCP's were tuner/project guns that needed work and not Discovery level quality, fit and finish. I don't have the exact wording or copy of the listing.When I bought my 2 rifles I was aware of that and bought them as platforms to learn on. I agree the design was a little funky and I moved on to B51's because of that. I cut my teeth on the FD PCP as it was my first pcp. I learned how to create a power curve by adjusting hammer springs and fill pressures.This point does need to be taken into consideration. Whether it was right or wrong to offer these rifles as basic platform/tuner rifles is up to debate. From my dealings with Mike, his willingness to help and go above and beyond I don't feel there was reckless intent.Thanks,Taso
