I was in a local gun shop and overheard the clerk trying to sell a guy a DPMS (way over priced). He told the guy that barrel twist was just hype and that the 1/9 would shoot anything he wanted. Well, me and my big mouth, I called him on it and he called over another clerk and he seconded the first guy! Wow!!
I learned long ago not to feed the animals. Its not like they are actively ignorant, they just don't know better. Having worked at a gunshop before I can tell you stupidity abounds in most gun shops on both sides of the counter. Its better to assume all partys are completely retarded until proven otherwise.
My favorite is that one lgs customer who knows it all and inturrupts any good conversation, to tell you how good BM is because his cousins cousin is SF....and he said so...but then gets confused when you ask him what BCG you should use.....
Im lucky the LGS I deal with know guns and dont try to sell crap to customers. Their honesty is why I continue to buy from them.
My LGS guy goes by the name Grant. I no longer experience stupidity from that side of the counter.
Lucky you, it would really be nice to have someone truly knowledgeable across the counter if you had questions. I am by no means a AR guru, but I have built several and have a real affinity for the platform. It's terrible to say, but I know more about the platform than the LCS guys around here. Which speaks more of what they don't know, than what I know.
One of the main reasons I joined this site is to learn more. I am also a member of another site (not spoken highly of here). But, I am a sponge and I will sift through the info gained.
