    i know im new but i figured i would add my two cents in.

    i built my first rifle after i had to send my sig 556 in to get a "checkup". yes i got alot of information from ar 15.com to build my own. i however believe there are only two type of people on this planet. stupid people and smart people.

    it seems to me the guy with the buffer problem was severly lacking in the intelligence dept back in his trailer. people who know how to use tools and work with them can make things happen, however if one doesnt have enough common sense then things like this happen. i see it all the time where i work. the young kids who never work get a job and they dont know how to turn a wrench.

    Simply put: GLOCKS are superior!!!

    "Wouldn't want to get caught flashing in the sun during a tactical field strip."

    Pretty much says it all... then again, the OP's last post about buying a milspec tube for his commercial CTR stock really has me scratching my head. He thought he had a wobble problem before, just wait til he puts that combination together!

    Someone should send him a pair of jackass ears.

    I giggled about that one too. If he is doing that kind of backyard armorer job on his rifles, what on earth could be possibly be doing that his shiny spot would matter during a "tactical" field strip?

    I think I just found my new sig line. . .you can't make this shit up LOL!

    I would love to hear this poster's view on headspacing.

The XDm feels more natural in my hands which again leads me to question which is "superior."

    I'm sure you get my point at least.
    haha, yeah i get your point......actually ive never held a XD/XDM of any sort, let alone fired one so my opinion is VERY biased.

    Thank goodness there are guys like the OP with the angle grinder. They are societies reminders of what not to do. His actions will undoubtedly save others from following his path! If it wasn't for him and thousands like him,auto mechanics,auto parts stores,gunsmiths,firearm accessories suppliers,etc. would be out of business.It is better to learn from someone else's mistakes than your own.To him I say,"I raise my glass to you sir, may you continue your lifelong pursuit of proving Darwin wrong.I salute you and may God keep you safe until the next project." But please take your time!

    Look at overall trends. Outside of a LOT of noise, you'll find many users over there that understand the difference in a Spikes and a BCM or LMT.

    Also, read through some of the stickied threads here. Especially the stickied thread about rob_s' chart
