    It's hypocritical to see a forum that has countless threads going on about shades of FDE/UDE/whatever and countless threads about hoodies/"shells"/****ing jackets bash some guy for something on his lower. This thread is not in keeping with the stated purpose of this forum.

    I will say that the OP does give free classes to new shooters in his locale but honestly, we should be better than where this thread has gone.

    Can this thread not be deleted? I feel like the ghost of Rob_S is haunting it.

    Pointless thread is pointless.

    **** you, human race.


    Anyway I think it's really interesting that people are drawing parallels between roll marks on ARs, which for whatever reason aren't allowed to be skulls or pirates or spiders, and logos on hammers, which, if they're skulls, are badass. Also the fetishizing of desaturated shades of grey, green and brown.

    I mean obviously a rifle with a horse on it is likely to be built better than a rifle with a snake on it...but a home build of DD parts in a zombie or spider lower could be just a good.

    I'm fine with people saying "that zombie shit is gay", of course...provided they aren't the same people who go all squirrelly when their new accessory in Flat Dark Earth looks a little too Coyote Brown, and doesn't match their other FDE stuff now.

    There's a lot of ways to be a tac homo.
    Full disclosure: I'm the editor of Calibre Magazine, which is Canada's gun magazine. In the past I've done consulting work for different manufacturers and OEM suppliers, but not currently. M4C's disclosure policy doesn't seem to cover me but we do have advertisers, although I don't handle that side of things and in general I do not know who is paying us at any given time.

    An enormously generous thing to do, all who have attended definitely appreciate it.

    I think some of you missed the idea behind this thread. It was a QUESTION and a simple Yes or No would do. I have to laugh at the people that became personally insulted by the question. This generally means it hit close to home.

    If you didn't know it, YOU judge people every day for something as simple as the car they drive or the shoes on their feet. We all do it. While I don't judge people based off of clothing, cars or where they live, I do question the mindset of folks that buy zombie AR's, Ammo and targets.

    From my experience, a guy that is buying a cheap lower with some goofy roll mark is NOT filling it with quality parts. They generally follow the same theme throughout the gun. This is of course fine (as it is there rifle), but at the end of the day this is the same person you will most likely make "as good as" comments when discussing a Colt or BCM AR.
