    Yeah. Me too. If he's "active component". Or even if he just wants to be. Different people have different needs and different expectations for their firearms, real or imagined. Mission drives the gear.

    I used to be, with more time in Afghanistan than Physicians spend in Medical School.

    You have a point; “mission” drives the gear. But your condescension in the gas block thread as if you have The Way when in reality you’re nothing but a tourist by your own admission warrants a response.

    You have opinions. Eye rolling emojis and “high round count” guncamps aside, they are nothing more and nothing less. Same as how mine are nothing more than my opinions, and I still have much to learn.

    But one thing that is a fact is tertiary sighting is in no way, shape, or form a disabler.

    Yeah, I’m sure you are, or were, high speed. Me...I’m a tourist. A firearms hobbyist. I don’t have any fantasies that dictate that I prepare for hordes of evildoers marching down my driveway or use a rifle, ever, in self defense. You might have that problem, I don’t know or care. Within that context relative to my needs for my gear for my mission, I’m well equipped.

    For only caring about your needs, you have some strong opinions about others. Especially given you never see the need for them to be used in self defense, why then is it imperative they be maximally reliable?

I've seen enough dimpled gas blocks shoot loose in high round-count carbine courses that I just roll my eyes when I see folks on this forum note that a dimpled gas block is "good enough".

    I’m curious. Was the gas block on your weapon in Afghanistan pinned, or glued?

    The same as your service rifle, if you’d have had one.
