What are your other favorite AR15 or firearm web sites?
I frequent this site, snipershide, and 68forums when it comes to firearms.
Subguns
Sturmgewehr
Swissrifles sturmgewehr forum
Sigforum
ARFcom NFA and bullpup forums
FNCtalk
HKPro
Snipershide
Occasionally Lightfighter (I only read, never post)
Just got banned from TOS, so I am here, minding my Ps & Qs.
Glock talk is a decent site for knowledge, as far as AR sites go I think this one is the best, albeit a little fanboy at times.
I am looking for other AR15 and firearm sites that are in the same league as this one. M4C is my favorite so I was wondering if the folks here might know of some other best sites.
This is it.... Weaponevolution.com isn't too bad, but gets less traffic. ARFcom is a retard magnet policed by imbecile STAFF members who give the Ban to anyone not posting retardation. No Joke. I've gone there multiple times and posted like a Saint; and got banned because my replies were legit in the tech forums. Those retards disable the account without saying anything. It's somewhat fascinating from a sociological standpoint. Wolves protecting the herd of retards.

Maybe if you would try to sugar coat your responses like you did in this one they would not get so upset?
I have a local forum, okshooters, thats the only other one I really look at.

And now, a few words from our sponsors.....
Gent's, let's not let this wander into an Interweb pie-fight about other places. I'm not looking about with furious glances here, just nudging us all gently back on track. I much appreciate everybody's cooperation with this.
I do know there are some good reloading forums out there. markm, is there one you think is pretty good on data for AR or pistol reloading? It's something I'm starting to read up on.

I visit ar15news.com on rare occasions but they are a little too "every company is great" like some magazines. thetruthaboutguns.com has stuff about ARs on occasion but have become a little more activist than review site. thefirearmblog.com has AR stuff alot and also has little articles about collectors and antique firearms but they don't have a large amount of daily posts. Youtube is a whole other story. Military Arms Channel, sootch00, Iraqveteran8888, and someone who posts here frequently Mrgunsngear. That's all I can think of right now.
1911forums is really the only other gun forum I frequent (aka: once a month). I can't stand arfcom... it's a mess trying to navigate, much less get around the DPMS fanboys.
What are some reloading forums?

On Facebook I follow the ak operators union quite a bit. It's pretty much like a forum. Their site isn't setup where you can post on things.
I enjoy the Forgotten Weapons blog and Youtube channel. The older stuff isn't as practical in the modern world as an Aimpoint equipped AR and a Glock, but it's often more interesting. As far as actual forums go, this is the only one I really frequent.

Thank you!!! Could not have said it better, the equivalent of an out of control 10th grade class of retards.

I also read the 15-22 sub forum at smith-wessonforum.com, since I have a 15-22. It's a good source of information for that rifle.
Of course, if you don't have a 15-22, you might find it less than useful.

Glock Talk and Smith and Wesson forum for specifics to those brands
And a host of vendor sites!

I do admit to going to AR15.com from time to time. Kind of like watching a train wreck sometimes, you know it will be ugly but can't help but watch.
I only go to ARFCOM for the EE.

Smith & Wesson forum
HK PRO
I find it harder and harder to find forums that have technical discussions where I am actually interested AND learning something new. Most times it is just easier to call Vickers or Hackathorn and have them rattle off some obscure firearms history lesson that I have never heard before. :)
C4
For specialty pistols, long range single shots, wheel guns, bullet casting and pretty much anything pistol related except not much combat stuff. I like Specialty Pistols Forums http://specialtypistols.infopop.cc/eve/forums
I've tried to register for 300 BLKTALK several times. They won't let you register with a gmail account for some reason. I've even tried emailing the contact email but never get any response back. So I just kind of ignore that one. Same thing with Glock Talk.
ETA: Apparently I signed up for an AOL account just so I could sign up for 300 blktalk. I just signed in and it worked. Forgot all about that.
As far as site's I do use:
Snipers Hide
Predator Masters
204Ruger.com
I would like to find a good reloading forum.

I'm a member of several, but besides this one, I especially like the 1911forum, glocktalk, s&wforum, and defensive carry. Besides the subject focus, I lean towards those with strong reloading discussions.

M4C ... where fools are not suffered
1911forum
and The AK Files, where I can commiserate with my fellow upstream swimmers while discussing the Rifle Of The Enemy :cool:
Ya'll have pretty much confirmed what I already suspected…there is no better place to go than M4C.
At one point I frequented here, Arf, LF, WEvo, SH, TexasGunTalk, 1911 Forums.
it's now down to: Here.
I may glance at a few other forums for the EE or off-topic nonsense, but most of my time is here, Shotgun World and Brian Enos.
M4C and 1911forum are the two main sites that I visit. (Colt1911a11 on 1911forum).
Others that I visit every now and then, mostly to lurk:
1911pro.com
1911addicts.com
The AK forum
Drudge report (no posting obviously)
Brian Enos (reloading info)
Places I haven't been to in a while:

Pistol-Forum
GlockTalk is the best Glock site, hands down
Screw that. A couple of years ago I had a G19 that was acting up. I went there to seek help diagnosing the issue and was almost crucified for implying that my Glock was anything less than "perfection". Bunch of blind fan boys, like arfcom for Glocks.
As far as AR tech info, this is the place.
I also lurk at snipershide and pistol-training. My level of technical expertise is not up where I am actively contributing very often.
I do frequent defensivecarry.com, it's not a AR forum or any other model/make clubhouse but there are quite a few very knowledgeable members in every area there. I see it as more of a social site where I can kibitz with like minded folk and not worry that I am not the most up to date technical guru. The guys/gals there who know their ARs are all probably members here as well.

You mean to tell me there is other AR-15 web sites ?
This is my favorite. I do read the 1911 forum HKPro and Lightfighter but never post.
Here
Lightfighter
Weapon evolution
I have had less than stellar results elsewhere for info...
I like it here and HKpro. Both weed out crappy posts and there's always someone who has an answer at both sites to anything.

Snipers Hide, and Calguns.
It's already been said, but this is the best by far
I also frequent lightfighter.net forums
ar15.com is really a better place for the buy/sell because there is so much more traffic and you can get very good deals on good kit when some flubtard has to get the latest greatest and wants out of what he already has...ymmv
1. M4C
2. Snipers Hide
3. Lightfighter
4. Glock Talk
5. ar15.com
....in that order

I have most definitely found great deals on the EE there, especially after SHOT when folks dump their gear for the new hottest item.

Oh how I miss the old Park Cities Tactical. Sad how it faded away. It is still there but virtually no activity from all the old veteran members. It had a lot of intelligent discussion, and not always just about guns.
I browse the local forum OKShooters, then really only the Colt forum of TOS, followed by GlockTalk, M1911 and Lightfighter.
300blktalk
calguns.net for the EE
silencertalk
snipershide for long range
longrangehunting.com for big bore, long range info
1911forum
FloridaConcealedcarry.com
AR15.com and now this site... like I don't have enough to do..
A couple of you are looking for a good reloading site. Accurateshooter.com has a forum. This is the best reloading forum I have seen. They also have tons off reloading info all over the site.
If your new to loading a lot of it will be very advanced, but if you spend some time reading some of the articles and posts you will learn a lot.
I lurk mostly. I like M4C, and Lightfighter for getting real questions answered.

I have lurked most of the forums for years. This is the only one that I felt was worth joining/contributing to.
I do play in:
Snipershide
Bacon Survival
Texas Gun Talk
300Blk
I find this to be the most trusted site hands down. I only wish that more was posted in local areas to pursue hands on and getting together in person. I am relatively new in in Jacksonville, Fl. since being stationed here in the late 80's. Perhaps more time posting to meet up and shoot up would suffice. I have a tremendous amount of respect to those that are the "gtg" guys that keep it real.

Is this a 'trick' question or something?...Obviously m4carbine.net for M4/AR15's! Plus there's a lot of other weapons knowledge here too. I really do wish I had more time to log on to M4C.net daily just to post and play and learn all day, but work and family do keep me way too busy for that. Plus any free time IS going to be spent actually in the field w/live fire training w/my family when I can... I know for the 'lucky' few here it's 'bread and butter' which I can respect and see as awesome!...actually this site 'M4C' is so freaking good I've never had to go too far spending hours upon hour looking here and posting there and asking Q's & A's searching around waiting for that elusive answer... which usually will be found with just a quick click of that "search & destroy" button! No muss no fuss, you gotta love that!!
Sites like bARF.com is not for me and is full of too many AR "punks" - who are obviously barely legal mall ninja's warriors wanna bees who have probably never spent enuff time behind the trigger of any weapon let alone an AR15/M4 that don't know jack sh*t about it anyway.
Again, here you have mod's and many trusted members with the "real world" knowledge and experience of these fine U.S. made weapons and accessories! That's all I need! :smile:

GLocktalk sometimes

I use to love falfiles back in the day.
Mostly M4Carbine for me. I also like to look at Survivalist Boards, but I mostly just read the stories people write there. Occasionally I look at Weapon Evolution and Snipers Hide. TOS is a giant pain in the ass to navigate (both in terms of the site layout and the f'ing retards that post there) so the only times I ever go there is to look at the EE or Bravo Company's sub forum.

Usually anything I need to know is either here or at AR15.com. I also visit YouTube for product opinions.
Gunstruction.com
It's new, but it has already helped me plan how to configure my MK18 once its out of NFA jail, as well as my next build.
I look at many forums but pick and choose topics, some of the forums have a never ending list of idiot titles like "what color is your favorite Hi Point?" Or "do you house carry when going to the potty". Well maybe an exaggeration but not far off. This forum can get a bit testy on responses but usually has good info and hits the top of my list.
used to be mainly just M4C and AR15.. but now just exquisitely M4C.
AK Files, for a laugh.
1911 Forum when I want cops to threaten to kill me or have a gunsmith demand that I kiss his ring.
