    No argument, M4 is a great resource and a wealth of information.
    However some here act like a it's a crime to ask a simple
    question, like will fail X fit on my upper. Often they're told to muse the search or directed to other thread. What's wrong with answering the ops question straight up.

    When You ask a friend a question you expect the answere, not directions to the city library. Some here seem to show little respect for those of seeking help.

    Soooo I spend my time lerking cause if I ask a question and some sob tells me to 'use the search' I'll tell what I really think and probably get banned from this site. just say'n!
    Regards, Paul

    What's going on here??

    When my friends or people I work with ask me a question (one they are perfectly capable of answering on there own with a little effort) my response is more colorful than, "use the search button"! The point is, if its a simple question it should be simple to answer. We'll end up with a million "will this rail fit" threads if we play it your way.

    It's not that people are unwilling to help. The problem is there is no shortage of people who ask questions that can be answered with 5 mins of searching the Internet. You know the whole "teach a man to fish"...

    I think what you are lacking is a full understanding of the culture which primarily resides within this board. SELF RELIANCE is cherished. Being able to handle things on your own is well respected. Figure out if you can use the resources or if you just want to go on over to Facebook and have the collective tell you what you should do and think.

    I am a noob here but have come to realize that M4C is the ultimate source for AR information and not a place to ask questions without searching first. I am just going to search from now on.

    Look that's not really the case and reasonable questions are a good thing. Just try to avoid the redundant ones if at all possible via a quick search.

B/c sometimes the ? has been asked ad nauseam. Why not Search before asking the question? If one has, then put that it has been done in the post; like many do.

    I find this comment amusing because this specific sub-forum is supposed to be the bread and butter of the venue, yet you think the above is how you should be talking to people here? Do you remember a fellow named Rob S?

    For all the bashing that GD gets some of the dumbest shit in the forum is often found right here.

    The web site is fine, most here are helpfully and courteous. Some are just way too full of them of themselves. If it's about being "self reliant" then what the hell are you doing? Oh, just to tell others how to use the search button. I get it.

    Regards, Paul

    It should have been apparent the tone this board has. But you asked and I answered you without saying use the search button. Your position is untenable. Best to move on and enjoy the free knowledge.

    OK...one more: My 1st AR was an ADCOR Defense Gas Impingement (DI). Purchased during the scare because I have wanted one for a long time and it was the only AR on my LGS's wall. I waited way too long.

    Remember...there was a reasonable chance that they would be banned. That situation has changed now.
