Sometimes its better to give advice when asked. People dont want to be wrong, they are fragile & it hurts their ego. So when his P.O.S.-AR craps out and he is left wondering why, or when he is “that guy” at the range tinkering instead of shooting, he will figure things out and ask questions. Im not a consultant, I dont hang a shingle on my front door offering advice, so if they want advice they have to ask for it . You did a righteous thing offering your knowledge, and you got crap for your effort. Live & learn .
Its just advice and good advice , but they can take it or leave it some people just have there mind made up from the begining and you cant change it. i own a colt , a colt lower with lmt upper , and a complete bushmaster some will say bushy is a pile of crap . but hey bought it from a friend in need of some help and have never had an issue with it . and have put about 500 rds thru it or so , but did take the advice from Iraqgunz and quib on a couple things that would improve the weapon. and so I did it was great for me to get the advice from some of the more experts .
You definitely did the right thing. I'd actually be pretty annoyed if I asked the question and only found out later that I got fed a bunch of crap, . . . and he will find out at some stage.
You did the right thing michschi and your efforts did educate the OP. Not out of line at all. I saw that thread and you were extremely helpful to him and he was starting to see the light. Last time I saw it he was leaning heavily to BCM due to your help and all the links you provided.
It was surprising to see how many responders recommended the DPMS even at $1400 but then that site often gives bad information.
While I enjoy my time there, sometimes I feel they are a little easy going on people, I say on another thread, someone asked what a good choice for an upper was, and here I will post what was said! An example of bad advice!
OP-I want a flat top with M4 feed ramps. If the price is right I would like to get a complete upper (BCG, barrel, upper, etc, etc...)
I shoot lefty, so I was thinking about getting a lefty upper, but am not married to it.... Your thoughts on Stag? Any other lefty uppers you recommend?
Thanks in advance for your assistance.
Advise from another member with 4,000 posts mind you!
Any upper will be GTG. Welcome to BRD.
Then my post!

Well I don't agree with this! I think we owe this new member better leadership then that. There are plenty of good uppers are there, but I would not say any are good to go. A BCM upper can be had for like 425. I have heard good things about the left handed Stag upper, and since I am not left handed I can't tell you I know how to feel to be a lefty in a righty world. Do some more reseach. But if m4 feedramps are one of your major hangups, that will rule out a couple makers like RRAs and a couple others, so just look around, and make sure it has what you want, In the AR market there are so many options you shouldn't have to settle! From the sounds of things your lower will be solid, and you will like that RRA LPK, its nice! You can always pm me and I will try to help best I can!

While I used to recommend BCM, LMT, DD, Colt, Noveske, etc. quite frequently whenever people have been in the market for an AR with 1000 dollars burning a whole in their pocket, now I just try to get a feel for what the OP's experience level is and what he wants to do with it. I then work from there.
Honestly, for someone looking for a range toy to toss a UTG rail, a bipod, a laser and a bunch of other junk, and only plan to shoot like 1,000 rounds a year if that, it probably doesn't even matter what they buy. It's quite easy to figure out people who are wanting to go down this route.
For someone who seems they will be getting more serious use out of their rifle, I tend extend more help and input.

I would rather have my $600.00 dollar Del Ton upper w/ M&P lower than the DPMS, but thats just me.
