Community Automag... What do you guys think?

From previous experience things like this generally end up not working out. Somebody will end up keeping it and then everyone gets mad. Of it takes a person months to ship it to the next person due to some unforeseen issues.

I also have seen this happen several times. The most memorable was with the AKA users. Someone allowed their toolkit to be sent around for community use. Eventually it never got passed on.

Anyone who participates should fully understand that they are giving the parts away. That they will probably at some point be kept by someone intentionally or not. They also shouldn't get to worked up when it does happen.

What happens if the mag or parts are lost/stolen/damaged during shipping? IF it is insured who would get that money?

Yes I understand that, but if we keep a close tab of all the good well known members on here, then we will have info on each person and we will know who has had it. If someone does a good job and follows that librarian idea then this would work out well.

I just honestly don't see the point of this.

Pretty much most AO'ers represent every time we play.

Me neither really. Several issues with it. Firstly, you really only have a couple of people really seeming like they are interested. Its not like any of the people thrown out as reputable AOers has even stepped up to offer to do such a thing. Secondly, if I want someone to play with an Automag and really get a feeling of what they are capable of, I would loan them my XValved, ULE bodied RTPRo, not a basic Classic valved stocker. And I don't see anyone ponying up one of those anytime soon. However, I'm kind of protective of my stuff and there are very few people that I would loan my gear out to. If you are wanting to have something cool to "represent", it needs to be something really nice. No offense guys.

With that said, I would love to be proven wrong, so if you can get people to contribute...awesome!
