    Lucky

    I guess I am one of the lucky bastards I took a magpul class 2 years ago, I think it was 2 years ago my time lines are messed up since I broke my leg. My DPMS, ran fine no stoppages, misfeeds, or any type of FTF. One of the instructors asked about my rifle and was, I assume, quite surprised it ran as well as it did. But I think it mostly is that I keep it clean and run good ammo. I have never had the chance to shoot any of the rifles you guys talk about. I am in the same boat as one of the other members as far as what is offered to buy around here.

    I did shoot older colts in the service, didn't care for them too much as they seemed worn out and sloppy, but always ended up with a M14 on QD over watch for security.

    A quick question, I seen CS used earlier in this thread, does it mean Customer service? And I did a quick, read very quick search on TDP but didn't find any answers towards the AR, just wondering what it meant.

    Also any guys in SoCO have any good places to shoot that aren't huge lines to wait in and wouldn't mind letting me try one of there higher end rifles?

    Thanks,
    Lefty

    People like Wrench need to be choked out. I get it. Some wanna play, but don't want to pay for quality or a class? Guess what? You have no business playing. If folks insist on passing on Bubba BS that you've heard while shooting dirt clods and cans, talking with authority, while having no idea what you're talking about, you haven loss all credibility, and makes you look like a total D-Bag. If you buy a POS AR just to satisfy your desire, then join gun forums looking for validation, is beyond pathetic. Saying you don't want or need to attend a class because you know all you need to, or say it's just for wanna be's and Mall Ninjas, is just ****in stupid. Stop showing your ass and go back to TOS or similar sites.

    You wanna play but can't afford it all at once? Here's a notion...SAVE YOUR MONEY, then buy QUALITY guns, parts, ammo and a class or two. Because of the economy and sudden down turns in life, quality will come at a slow pace, but it is well worth the wait.

    I've heard everyone say that if you bought a DPMS sell it... well I bought one obviously before I came here and I just want to know a few things... if I replace my Upper with a BCM upper and BCM BCG is there anything else I should worry about? I plan on using the upper to build my wife a gun if it doesnt fail me for 1k-2k rounds( she will only be target shooting) or I may just sell it.. and I figured I could buy a LPK and BCG then save up for the BCM upper in a few months..and is the LPK something to worry about on the DPMS? Its a oracle if anyone is wondering.
    (btw I have taking other peoples opinions already im just looking for an over-all opinion and I dont have the money atm to do anything but enjoy what I have and hope S(DoNT)HTF)

    Ill also throw out that I'm VERY NEW to the AR-15 and im open to all knowledge, Thank you -Dev

    before I came to M4C.NET I bought an Armalite.....then I sold it and bought a Bushy.....then after a few years I sold the Bushy and bought a Colt LE6920 (which will never be sold), then I bought a BCM BFH 14.5 Middy (never to be sold).

    Save the time and energy of selling to get better, save and buy right the first time. With current pricing there is really no excuse on the planet to justify NOT getting a Colt or BCM.

    Colt, til death do us part.....then my kid gets you.

    A friend who returned to farming after Iraq infantry duty bought a non working Bushmaster for $150, fixed it, and uses the rifle as a farm implement to shoot feral hogs, wild dogs, and other pests. I asked why he would let his rifle bounce around in a truck tool box, and he replied that it's a piece of shit and compared the arm to stuff he buys at Harbor Freight. Also, my buddy doesn't read internet gun forums.
