Oh, wait, how many of us are qualified to contribute anything?
    Exactly.

    No, but you would have to be qualified to make a useful contribution here, or elsewhere. Some qualifications are easy and informal. Like “hey guys, I shot this drill back to back with a LPVO and a red dot after practicing with both for a year, and here’s my observations” , or “I tested 4 different zeroing strategies at different ranges”. In those cases, the qualification is simply that you shoot. Or “I’ve been trying out these different powders, and this is what I found”. The qualification to say “this bolt carrier is dimensionally correct, and this one isn’t” and make a detail-oriented youtube video about it, and run a gunsmithing course, is different, and one I don’t personally have.

    Obviously anybody is welcome to post about anything, but there is a reason that “AR Technical Discusssion” and “Training and Tactics” are slower, lower traffic, and have lower post counts than “AR General Discussion” and “General Discussion”. Its because only a small percentage here are qualified to actually teach about those things, but most of us are qualified to answer “should I buy a DD or a Anderson”.

    Edit: I’m not saying I agree with everything dude says, or saying that your posts aren’t useful.

    Edit 2: Just re-read, and man, this comes off way different than intended. I’m going to leave it up, but know that my meaning is lost in my poor text-communication skills. My apologies to anyone I ‘ve offended.

    Its truly amazing the influence he has over the average gun owner by making videos of himself sticking pin gauges into dozens of BCGs lol.

    Im totally convinced all of his 7500 facebook followers could be "straight" men, and he could ask all 7500 of them to give him a BJ and 7497 of them would actually do it, with at least a 100 or more fighting to be the first in line. Its amazing really.

    He thinks the AR-15 is like the Catholic Church and he is its Pope and you must follow him like Christ. He has to be on EVERY forum, has to be introduced when he joins like Jesus riding into the temple on his donkey so everyone can tell him how much they love him.

    Im impressed really.

    "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

    No, I was not directing that at you, I was agreeing with you. Sorry for the confusion.

    I would be interested to hear your thoughts on 9MM AR’s. I would like to build one to mimic my 5.56 AR’s and most likely would go with a Colt but just curious what you think.
