    For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong.

    I agree with the guy that suggested telling people specific information about what I own and leaving it at that.

    Apparently there is a thread on TOS dedicated to shit brand AR's and Xwarps knowledge is truly appreciated there by what they call '13ers.

    We have sadly lost some knowledge with his departure.....

    Do I need a sarcasm tag or did I lay it on thick enough?

    I can say my initial turn off on Colts was the SP1s, cost and availability. I could not afford to buy top of line. Now days we have it great. Available hi-quality ARs and parts can be found. BCM, DD ect. at a affordable price point. But some people will not see the light.
    I'm a Scubadiver and have been asked about my dive gear and the cost.. my regulator set cost over $1200 rated to over 300 ft. drysuit over $1100. The easy answer life support equipment. I don't dive to 300 ft but it's probably not going to fail at 160 ft. I couple have got a set for $125-200 "tested" to 120 ft.
    IMHO if my life may depend on it I don't have to think about dropping $$.

    I just let them post their ignorance and move on. If the OP honestly asks, I give as honest and correct answer as I'm able. I don't argue with those who try to dismiss the information. I simply tell them to continue doing what makes them feel good and leave it at that.

    If someone asks me in person what's good and why, I always respond by questioning what their agenda is. Anyone with an ulterior motive for asking will reveal themselves by how they respond. Life is to short to wrestle pigs in the mud.

    Because my life has enough headaches as it is, I generally avoid discussing AR's on other boards. I just point 'em here, and tell 'em to, "READ."
    You mentioned it, so I'm obliged to post this.

    I joined this site about 3 months ago and read all the AR info I could gather.

    I then purchased a Colt 6920LE. My first AR. Not one problem so far.

    Thanks.

    If the Iraqi, Afghani, and other insurgents used BM, Stag, and DPMS instead of Russian military grade left behind small arms the War on Terror would be over by now. Probably a hell of a lot sooner! If these companies were really patriotic they would be giving them away to foreign enemies along with reading material stating how much better they are than Colts, or even AK's. What a wonderful thought! Thank you Will!

    I think the whole issue with arfcom is when people purchased their AR the intent was to take it to the range for fun while many on here bought their carbines for defense. They shot it a couple of times and decided it's "just as good as".
