.......... Also note that if they state it is a neck diameter issue with AA using .300 and LB using .295, they are deliberately and willfully lying. AA marketed both chambers and factory loads will chamber and function perfectly with both.

This is splitting hairs a little bit, but according to Bill Alexander, AA never shipped any .295 necked rifles. CSS requested the .295 neck for some rifles and called it the "Match" chamber. Alexander felt that it compromised semi auto, and especially full auto, performance and thus refused to sell it under the AA brand. He also knew eventually there would be steel case ammo and that the .295 neck would be even more compromising. So AA didn't market he .295 neck. Bill Alexander has regretted ever drawing that chamber almost since day one because of the issues associated with it.
You seek escape from pain. We seek the achievement of happiness. You exist for the sake of avoiding punishment. We exist for the sake of earning rewards. Threats will not make us function; fear is not our incentive. It is not death that we wish to avoid, but life that we wish to live. - John Galt
