    I do judge... somewhat, but I try to look at the weapon as a whole. I have an old Bushmaster lower that I bought back in the bad old ban days. I've since replaced everything except the actual receivers with quality parts from BCM, Daniel Defense, Colt, etc. It's a great little carbine, it just has that stupid snake on the side.

    I know many shooters that have done the same thing; turned junk into gold over time.

    The problem happens when it's "one of those lowers" with a questionable barrel, BCG, and a bunch of other low end parts put together with questionable skill. Especially when aesthetics take a priority over function.

    I don't care what people shoot just as long as it works. (Not that I'm some sort of operator.) That said, I have a LW 14.5" BCM and an arguably over priced Hk MR556 that seriously is like a Cadillac in every way. (Heavy & luxurious, lol.)


    Both would get the job done if I had a job to get done. In this case even being euphemistically a "Heart breaker & soul taker" (0331 Marine) I am the weakest link to the systems I've chosen to own.

    And such is the case of probably 80% of the owners out there. If they spend the money on training and put good instructed rounds down range then they will work out their systems and adjust from there. If someone continually chooses polished crap even after they've been trained that's when I start to think they're a little loose in the intelligence department. That's why the first question I like to ask someone giving their opinion, "who trained you?"

    As for Zzombies and similar, if that's what it takes to get people interested in self protection and preparedness then I welcome it. Will I ever buy neon green BS? Not on your life.

    I think it’s funny that some of same members who shit the panties if a guy talks about a receiver’s finish or fit are now talking about roll marks on a lower. ****ing grow up. You are the same group that shit talked the punisher logo until Chris Kyle is using it. The roll mark is absolute worthless in terms of function so who gives a shit. Apparently we have covered everything that is useful about the in the AR/M4 world so now we are descending into the TOS.

    Now let’s argue whose imaginary friend is the most badass.

    Here's what I'm going to say about the subject. I could give a shit less what kind of gun Chris Kyle uses. And I could really kinda care less about a roll mark. What really matters is is the weapon functional. For those of you still think that all parts arein created equal I highly recommend you get out there and start taking a look. I guarantee you there are some M4C members here who have been to my classes now and they will tell you parts ain't parts.

    We saw a brand new Rock River Arms carbine that was a piece of crap. Castle nut was not staked and it was improperly put together. someone damaged the tube during the process also. It was purchased brand new from a dealer. The BCG screws were not torqued and staked properly either. 800.00 plus tax.

    I look at what the rifle is, not the rollmark on the lower. The way I see it is of the power is in spec and made by a quality source it doesn't matter what is on it.

    To be honest I do like some of the lowers with unconventional roll marks. That umbrella corp lower from VA beach, VA is awesome, but I am from VA. I have a few Stag lowers with Colt parts and BCM uppers that run great.

    Oh, and I want one of these, just because its subtle and I think hilarious.

    Could not care less even if it had SpongeBob SquarePants on it, if it works and he/she likes it, let it be. However when I see an AR-15 with a bipod, foregrip, high powered scope, magwell grip thingy, and a c mag on a 25 yard range...hell yes I judge.

    Sadly this is not a made up example.

    Nah just start carrying Spike's....

    I still can't see the male organs in the spider. I agree though... All the rest of their logos are pretty cheesy. I work with a guy that bought a zombie lower. He's very doomsday preppy I guess you could say...

    As I said earlier, I try to give folks the benefit of the doubt but there are some indicators that I take as a clue that I don't want to wait around long enough to find out how close folks match up to my prejudices. Something like this, for example
    INSIDE PLAN OF BOX
    1. ROAD-RUNNER LIFTS GLASS OF WATER- PULLING UP MATCH
    2. MATCH SCRATCHES ON MATCH-BOX
    3. MATCH LIGHTS FUSE TO TNT
    4. BOOM!
    5. HA-HA!!
