    opmike, thanks for the link earlier.

    Just another reminder of why I haven't been over to TOS in a long while. It always had it's fair share of nonsense, but these days there is just too much shit to wade through to find anything useful or interesting. M4C & ST are about the only places I frequent anymore.

    Christ I thought I couldn't laugh any more.

    "Good point about the aluminum on steel, I hadn't thought of that. Yes, I used a castle nut wrench. The big problem was that whenever I would get it tight enough to eleminate wobble, then the stock would have torqed a little bit too and the stock was no longer vertically in line with the gun. It ended up sloping from right to left."

    "You did good.
    Remember the rules of home gunsmithing:
    Measure it with a micrometer,
    mark it with chalk,
    cut it with a torch/dremel,
    grind it to fit,
    paint it to match!"

    The first reply to this tard's thread: "If you know what needed fitting and you feel confidant about it, go for it. I have to make different parts fit all the time. The market is flooded with AR parts and sometimes they are a little out of spec.
    The only thing I would leave alone would be the trigger group. Fo safetys sake."

It's an absolute f**king honor to be banned by the kiddie site by the way

    Simply amazing. almost as good as building a mid length by pushing the gas block forward and installing a new gas tube.
    Yeah, ALMOST but nothing will EVER be as good as that. I literally "LMAO'd laughed my ass off" when i read that thread. I'm sitting here trying to think of something dumber some1 could try and i honestly cant come up with one.

    In a current Spike's vs. LMT lower thread over there, someone just claimed that LMT's carrier keys self destruct and that their bolt failure rate is 35%. This was accepted as fact and not rebutted. In a thread which pointed out poor lower parts the owner stated to the effect, "we get these from the same company as Colt, but just because it's good enough for Colt doesn't mean it's good enough for Spike's". That got a bunch of cheers.

    That forum is the brutal, bleeding car crash that I can't look away from.

    How about putting a rifle buffer in your carbine to help reduce the recoil?

    I just have to quote and reply to the above...damn it's dead on the money not only in general but specifically your example of LMT and ST. I earned my golden ban in a LMT trash thread for saying that some people like to drive M3's vs. others wanting to drive Prius's..seriously that phrase got me banned.

    LMT has zero internet presence and thereby pays jackshit to the kiddie site....The kiddie site allows LMT threads to go unchecked in terms of bullshit to the highest degree, its astonishing and unmatched biases.

    ST has a huge internet presence and thereby pays heavily to market at the kiddie site....The kiddie site shills the ever living shit outta ST.

    These are facts.

    It's ridiculous. They are the ST forum now. They call this the BCM forum, but if I were to post some nonsense such as BCM is superior to Colt, I would be called out on it pretty damn quick here and made a fool. It doesn't happen there. It's just wave after wave of teenage girl-like emotions. I don't know how the few knowledgable members there can stand it.

    That was almost more disturbing to me than the guy he is replying to...
