Agree. I look over the entire AR and then make my decision that they are a moron. :D

I try to give the benefit of doubt, but sometimes I cant help it.
What lower has two male organs trying to crush a bug??? Just curious which one that is so that I never end up with one of those.
I too pass judgement based on the roll marks. But only when they say it is "just as good as Colt", or when they say the .mil uses it. That usually happens at the gun shows or shops. My friends are all educated enough on AR's to stay away from the junk. The one who has a BM admits his isn't as good as, and has made a couple improvements to increase reliablity.
The things you mentioned denote a lack of knowledge. Exactly what the NATURE of this deficiency is can vary, though.
I got my GF into ARs when she saw a Spike's zombie-marked lower which she then bought as her first rifle. Later that week I got her to purchase a 6920 after explaining some stuff to her.
Some folks own silly lowers because they were cheap. Others own them as a joke. If it gets them to the range, I don't care as long as they're safe and get out shooting. Hell, my first AR was a post-ban Bushmaster with a horrible chinese red-dot, "sniper" pistol grip (with the disc thing at the bottom), full A2 stock and OEM 10-rd mag. I eventually saw the light because I got into it deeper and deeper, but it all started with that silly setup.
However, if they spout off nonsense and "don't know what they don't know", we have a problem.
If it works, it shouldn't matter what roll mark the lower has on it.
This is like poking fun at a guy because he has a U.S. Polo Association shirt on instead of an actual Polo Ralph Lauren, when it does the same thing.*
Ridiculous, and I don't even own organ-squishing-bug lowers.
*Ralph Lauren HPT's and MPI's their collars, though.
Just as a newb question, when I say that my current rifle (BCM 14.5" mid with Battle comp and DD OMEGA, BCM lower) is "just as good" as the Colt M4 I put through so much torture over seas, am I being accurate?
Serious question. I did my research before buying, but never heard that comparison.
I think the whole zombie craze is ridiculous and I find it hard to believe that any of those folks would attend a carbine course with that on their rifle.
That being said, I think most people should be judged by their skills and whether they are taking the time and effort to improve themselves instead of being judged based upon whether they have a snake or a spider plastered on the side of their lower.
