For me it was ignorance..........................
plain and simple. I had handguns already and wanted a rifle/carbine for HD.
Although I used the internet for info on many things, guns were not one of
them.
My main source of information on AR15's was of course gun magazines:(. I would
buy every issue of every gun/rifle mag I could find.
Hence, my first 2 M4 purchases were a post-ban Bushmaster superlight, and
later a RRA Entry Tactical. I mean according to the magazine reviews they were
simply badass, heck they were used by the DEA, and military according to the
rags.
I found M4 carbine about 2 months after the RRA purchase :mad:. This sight was also a revelation about the training that is available out there. Until M4carbine no one I spoke with could tell me where I could find training beyond your typical CCW
class.
Since finding M4C I have sold the Bushmaster, purchased a CDDM4LE,and Colt6920. Ditched the Tasco red dot that went down after about 400rnds and purchased a Comp M3 and CompML2. I've kept the RRA since it consistently shoots sub-moa with a Millet DMS-1 scope. I've taken 1 carbine course and 2 handgun courses. Through the storehouse of knowledge here I've learned things about the AR platform and performed upgrades that I thought would've required a
gunsmith. Rob's input helped me unf#%!k my gear, F2S,Grant, GotM4, and
countless others here,their knowledge has been a godsend.
Of course, the only rough side is the close to $4000 spent at G+R, Bravo etc,:eek:
Thank you all.
