    I try to not judge, if it is something they wanted and it keeps them shooting all the better. I have a buddy who believes that Delton and Keltec are the coolest guns ever and why anyone would need anything else. He also has one of those shoulder bump fire stocks and is driven crazy by "fully automatic fire". I keep my thoughts to myself as it is not worth my time and effort to try to change someone on their set path. Everybody has to learn for themselves.

    I don't judge folks in the "real world". If I see some joker who wasted money on an LWRCi, an Olympic Arms, or has a Spikes with the markings colored in.... I'll give them the benefit of the doubt that they just don't know what they don't know and they're just playing around.

    There was actually an idiot shooting next to me on the public range who had an LWRCi that was choking, of course. I let him use my rifle stock to mortar rounds and such. Didn't even bother to educate him on his misfortunate purchase.

    If they're active enough to come on a site like this, I'll wear their asses out for making such foolish purchases.

    I tend to pay more attention to how they train and what kind of gear is on their weapon. After all there are guys out there running DD/Colt/BCM/etc. who have NO clue what they're doing but think because they own rifle XYZ they're the $h!T. Those are the poeple I aviod lilke it's cool. Now that being said, there are also those who own whatever rifle because it was all they could afford at the time but they work their butts off at the range to get better. Those are the ones I have the most respect for!

    Serious question. I did my research before buying, but never heard that comparison.
    This discussion came up awhile ago and (BCM VS Colt) and Paul (owner of BCM) posted in the thread that he is flattered that anyone would say they are equal.

    BCM products are simply fantastic so enjoy your AR with no worries.

    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.
    Totally agree, but that is in a perfect world and all I have to go one is a Zombie marked lower.

    Or the guys who have a top tier AR but have no friggin clue on how it works. They can however regurgitate the talking points on what they've have read on some internet forum about what makes it it so great though even though they don't really know what any of it means.

    Then there's the guy who has more money than sense and thinks buying a $2k+ Noveske will magically make his rifle immune from issues. That's all cool till the moment reality kicks in and he learns that nothing is immune from malfunctions since they're all tools. I've seen that look of amazement many times and it really is priceless.
    All true and see this one myself. It is harder to spot these guys as morons though as they have wrapped themselves in an invisibility cloak (at least for a while).

    You assume they shoot. I do not make this assumption. I think the rifle tends to be a "show piece" for their COD friends.

    I've NO idea, but whatever it is, it's got me a bit turgid.....

    Apologies for the TMI aspects; I'm no "Car Guy," but that thing's got JUST the right blend of "looks sensible" and "looks ridiculous" to intrigue me.

    I've been called out as a "brand snob" on a local forum for recommending that folks buy quality. The fact is, if Jim Bob wants to go shoot dirt clods with his Plum Crazy lower, what do I care? If he wants to fool himself into saying the gun is for hunting, plinking, and self defense, so what? I'll offer advice if it's asked for and roll on.

    It took me awhile to learn that, though. I used to get all wrapped around the axle about it.

    I'll say that some of the most switched-on shooters I know in my area run old Bushmasters, have never heard of staking the castle nut, and probably don't know what MPI stands for. However, they do train and shoot. That's good for them! At the time these guys bought the Bushmasters, they were the best thing going compared to the out of spec Colt lowers and the DPMS cast junk.

    I run Daniel Defense guns because:
    1) They're a Georgia Company
    2) They make a top notch product
    3) They have an acceptable reputation
    4) They were a lot cheaper when I bought my first one two years ago than they are now!

    I really can't dig the Spikes. Yes, I do judge those people. I Judge the RRA guys too. Paying all that money for the hunk of junk that RRA is. RRA pushed hard in the dealer market too. The shop I used to work in stocked almost exclusively RRA guns when they first came out; dropped all Colt and Bushmaster inventory. All the lines too, "non-chrome-lined is more accurate"; "1:9 twist is better", "You only need 4150 for machine gun barrels"
