Crawl back under the troll rock. Your few post will not be missed and stirring the pot with a stick adds nothing except proof of your limited knowledge.
If you had any real knowledge about NIDs, which is doubtful, you seem to think that three is a large enough sample to make statements about the entire number of NIDs ever made. Three abused guns, that had been improperly repaired, mean nothing.
I have seen more than three cracked Sterlingworths, more than five K-80's with blown barrels, more than a few loose Brownings. All of these guns were decent guns but things happened to them that were extreme and they failed. But such a small number sample means nothing. And if a gun fails the first thing to do is try to find out why, not to assume that the gun design is the problem. Heavy loads and reloads have damaged more than a few guns. Poor lube or grease with dirt on the hinge pin will cause a gun to wear much sooner than expected. Most loose guns have been abused and neglected, not worn out from shooting.
You asked for proof that they could last thousands of rounds and got proof from a person who has a solid track record for stating the facts. You then questioned how anyone could shoot that many rounds and not be a registered shooter. As the ATA and the NSSA are finding out the vast majority of shooters do not shoot registered and will never shoot them. Registered shooters are not on the increase and have been in decline for many years. Most shooters are not out for glory or rewards. It is a hobby for them and they like to shoot and meet fellow shooters.
