To the Op;
No, you did'nt get out of line at all, you shared your knowlege, As was stated above, "you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" That is quite true, I've done the same thing, guys at work would ask me about buying a AR, I'd tell them what I know,Usually, they balk at the price,Alot of these guys think paying $1000 for a rifle that is reliable,accurate, and capable of saving your ass in a pinch, is waaay to much to spend.I ask them "how much is your life worth?" Almost always get "the deer in the headlights" look. A couple of times I even printed up "the chart" complete, with all the text, told them to sit down and read before buying..it was pointless. In almost every case, they ran right out and bought the first AR they saw, usually,something on the very low end of the chart..and usually, they overpaid. Anymore, I don't offer advice..Pain really is the best teacher,That, and when they figured out they got screwed by the shop they bought it from..
