These would include broken extractors, failures to feed, bolt over base, failures of the muzzle compensator, bent gas tubes and pierced primers. After failing to impress Springfield Armory, the test rifle was sent back to Armalite for correction. A year later, after correcting the…

Brene Brown, Carol Dweck, Geoff Colvin, and Ryan Holiday. His belief in the value of empathy resonates with Brene Brown’s work. The open mind follows the growth mindset teachings of Dweck. Additionally, Boyer’s description of his long shot throws and sniper training fit under the “deliberate practice” of Colvin’s Talent is Overrated.
