Now that I read Tony's, Bill's and Joe T's replys, I have to say that maybe this should be presented as a "Code Change"

On a personal note, I feel that MNC does not belong in a metal stud job. Bushings do fall out, screws can "hit". Someone will say "Same for MC", specially the Al jacketed stuff. I can't remember an instance where we had a "problem" with MC.

Maybe Caddy (Erico) will come up with a solution to bond the studs??
