    Look at my join date and my post count. I lurked for awhile while I was doing off and on research and wondering where to get the money to save. Finally in 2012 I picked up a LE6920. The only problem with it is I now want another one. The reason i picked one up was because of the research and imformation from this site. I went to TOS a couple of times but was ot and still am not impressed with it. Too many fan boys and not enough maturity. There was also too much an AR is an AR mentality when ever I went there. I didn't know a lot about ARs at the time (still have a lot to learn but I'm a lot more educated).

    Before this site I never heard of MPI, Carpenter 158, etc. I wouldn't have thought about what steel the barrel was made of or even think about looking for staking on the gas key never mind if it was done right. It's a good thing I like to do research before I buy big ticket items no matter how long I have to do the research. If I didn't I would have ended up with a RRA or a Stag. When ever I hear people talk about an AR on other gun forums I refer them to hear along with some of the stickies.

    Glad to here it just remember not to be too preachy, like I have and probably continue to be, or they'll think you're an asshole for trying to keep them from wasting their hard earned money. All because someone else told them a different story.

    I try to keep it low key. I just say that there is a lot of knowledge here and link a couple of stickies. Mainly the knowlege based ones and the thread titled I bought a Bushmaster, RRA before I knew better. I keep it to just a couple of sentences.

    Im not surprised by Firearm blogs review in the slightest. Colts are built to run. Colts may not live up everything desired in an AR to alot of people and hence you have many brands. One thing that cannot be said about a Colt AR is "undependable".

    I was surprised to see how many rounds had been put through the rifle before they reviewed it since I've noticed before that they and most of the other blogs tend to not run more than 500 rounds through a rifle before calling it good.

    Shit. The smart Local dealer has a case full of Kel Tecs and shelves full of .380 ammo.
    Honestly, putting myself in his position, if I was a dealer, I'd have shelves full of that stuff too. I wouldn't recommend it to people but I'd sure stock it. The purpose of a business is to make $. If that's what sells, you'd be foolish not to stock it. Businesses that don't sell what people are buying, aren't businesses very long...

    I admit that I am somewhat caught up in all the mid-length, A5, B5, super grip, cool rail, best handstop ever stuff too. But I also own a 6920 and often think that is all I need--and thinking it more often.

    I'd say Grant does a pretty fair business not selling "what people are buying." Folks go to Grant because they know what they are buying.

    I've seen Bud's Guns "top 10" seller list before. It's every gun I wouldn't take for free. I guess people just don't know, and don't want to throw a lot of money into something they're not passionate about....

    But on the other hand, I run into shooters from time to time that are just full blow idiots.
