    I think the problem you are going to run into with this statement is, how do you know? How many YEARS of experience do you have with other brands???? If ST is your FIRST AR, then you have no knowledge of what is or isn't quality.

    How M4C differs from TOS is that many of the members do in fact have many years of experience using multiple different brands so they have ability to make an INFORMED opinion on such subjects.

    My post has nothing to do with ST, their quality or anything else. My comment is focused 100% on you understanding of how someone gets an informed opinion about one manufacturers products from another.

    I will be the FIRST ONE to stand up and state that I would take a ST AR over the MAJORITY AR's on the market. Over a BM, Stag, Oly, DPMS, Armalite, RRA, S&W, etc.

    here's a play by play of what's happening.....

    Persons A and B don't like brand X because of the large amount of evidence showing brand X to be inferior to the competition.

    Person C hears of the bad talk about brand X and tells A and B of his good 1st hand experience with brand X. All the while, person C does not know about the history of brand X the way persons A and B know.

    Persons A and B provide unfavorable history of brand X to person C.

    Person C produces straw man.

    Persons A and B perform coup de grace on person C. Person C disappears from the internet.
    I loled. Even though I'm C.

This is not to start a flame/forum war, I'm just curious.
    Is the search feature not working for you? Use the ORANGE search button at the top of the page between "CALENDAR" and "FAQ".

    If you've already done that and you still posted this thread you are nothing more than a troll. If you haven't done that and you posted this thread you need to work on your life skills.

    Note, this post is in no way derogatory towards Spike's.

    Second, IIRC, I have read something about Rob_S and an article he authored for SWAT where he felt ST was "adequate" but it was strictly a low budget gun. So, there isn't a universal M4C "hate".

    But maybe it's just me...

    .
    Actually I believe Rob_S said that the Spikes he tested was the best sub $1000 AR on the market and that was before Spikes started HPT/MP testing their bolts.

    Hate? what hate?

    Hate of ignorant people that come here just to stir the shit? yes.

    Hate of idiots that can't make use of the search button? yep.

    Hate of people that think one purchase of one part one time means anything in the scheme of thins? yup.

    Hate of people to which all of the above applies and who pitch a bitch when the mirror is held up to them? All ****ing day long.

    But "hate" of Spike's? No. "Hate" of that stupid-ass ghetto teenager use of the word? Abso****inglutely.

    I have to laugh. You start a thread (knowing that it was kicking the nest of bees), then you get responses and you don't like and want the thread locked.

    My guess is that you won't be here much longer.

    You did not respond to my question about your knowledge level and how you know what is quality and what isn't.

    I look forward to your response.
