I can't read that phrase without hearing it in my mind with a "Hollywood" French accent so harsh it makes my sinuses ache.
I can actually say that with an accent that will make your sinuses ache. I have the perhaps dubious distinction of being the rare breed of American who can correctly pronounce a "u" or an "r" in French the way the Alliance Française says it should be pronounced. You may all worship me now.

Sorry, I grew up (despite the fact that some of my 'so-called' friends deny that I ever did) in "Port d'Arture" (Port Arthur) which is a lot more like Louisiana than Texas. While my French accent certainly won't fool a real Frenchman, I can fake the Cajun stuff well enough…

I can pat myself on the back for buying a quality AR-15 billet lower at half-off...then I realize my forever-will-not-sell rifle is a POF 308. Many parts are proprietary.
But that's why I own AR-15s. Backup.

Ditto. Not only are the internal parts for my SCAR mostly proprietary, they're darned expensive too. But AR15s are easy and cheap to maintain.
