Marcus Thorne
Former 75th Ranger Regiment armorer with over a decade of direct experience modifying and optimizing duty firearms. Took the precision bench-rest approach to the trigger reset problem after noticing consistent performance degradation in high-round-count service weapons. Maintained qualification on every US Army small arms platform while developing aftermarket solutions in an off-duty shop. Currently consults with three manufacturers on drop-in reset enhancement systems.
