    Yeah, your right, a typical new member reply with wisdom and good points. OP is on track, maybe not the track you, me or someone else would choose, but he is in the ball park. He will work out the bugs and learn at his pace.

    There's no wisdom suggesting some of the items that he has on his gun. It's not a matter of if they'll fail, it's when. If he wants to experience it firsthand, that's fine. Have fun wasting time!

    Polymer lowers have a substantial track record of breaking near the receiver extension.

    The only company that has seemed to get the polymer lower right was Cav Arms. (Even that is debatable.)
    Take a look on how they achieved that with their design.

    They are illigetimate weapons that have no real purpose other than to attract retards to the gun community.

    I didn' suggest anything, he had bought all that kit already. I didn't endorse anything either. Put your reading glasses on and go over the posts again. I replied that way because of the "I have better shit than you" attitude and if you don' have it then you are a fail. He is on course. He asked for help and advise, not negative criticism. You had great suggestions as well as other posters. So, lets keep it that way. And...by the way, I will stay in my own lane with my hurt feelings because my post count isn' as high as yours.

    Dude, this is not about "mine is better than yours". People come to M4C for info about weapons that they will stake their lives on.

    You can put whatever you what on your gun, I promise you nobody really cares what you use. But the "Brand X is just as good as milspec" BS will not fly. The trends here are established by proven track records with a large group of more-serious-than-average end users. It is not arrogance or elitism. If that UTG scope works for you, fine, but that does not make it the "same" as an Aimpoint.

    Just because you bought something doesn't mean you are married to it. Just because you bought something that "we" think is lower quality doesn't mean you are a fool, life is about learning. "We" are trying to help.

    Ok, got it. Your point is taken with a grain of salt. Again, we are not talking about my gear. We are talking about Gauss Rifle and HIS gear. He already bought that gear, and then asked for advice. It would be different if he did not that buy gear already. But, he did. He is stuck with it now until he updates, trade, throws away…whatever. So, many people gave him good - quality advice. Others, have the need to pipe up and take a giant shit all over posts...what I am saying is, lets talk with the guy and advise with tact...lets talk to him and talk about his post as if he (we) are sitting across the table from each other.

    READ THE ENTIRE THREAD. I get that there is better kit out there...I am not a moron or new to this game. I NEVER SUGGESTED THE KIT HE BOUGHT. The wisdom I mentioned is this: Let’s give him friendly advice and not the latter. He now has a weapon that will go bang, which is better than not having a weapon at all. Now the good constructive comments come into play…tactful criticism that will keep him here and wanting to learn. If this is not wise then shame on me. I must be a total **** bag and need to square my ass away. A lot of folks on this forum feel safe behind their computer and talk a lot of smack. The ones offended will certainly reply to this, and I am aware of that and hold myself responsible. Gauss Rifle is new. Let’s guide him instead of being sarcastic and witty about how we post. “You’ll thank me later.”

    Classic thread, minus some of the usual, more vociferous, suspects. I suspect many of them have given up.

    Time to get out the Hurt Feelings Report forms.
