I buy my shit to shoot and if I don’t shoot it, off it goes.
I actually have a Colt hat I got from LE armorer course but gun hats look douchey.
99% of gun stuff looks douchey.
Nothing like a short, squat dude in diabetes socks and Walmart sandals rocking a 5XL shirt with some motard BS about a freeking AR. Woopeedooo.
I’d rather, as you know, go shooting in my AOC shirt, my Star Wars crap, my Firefly show crap and adorn my stuff with punk rock stickers or anime girls.
I agree with the rank fanboyism. When BCM or DD buys me tranny or Jamaican hookers, I will rep them bigly.
Now that said KAC actually did get me laid. That happened. So I don’t mind hyping them up.
All this normie talk. I have a slutty colt I shoot. This is why I am actually getting out of gun collecting. I hunt, shoot, and live with the same gats I had for 15 years
Get a solid gun. Shoot it. Live your life. Not hard.
This is pretty standard stuff.
A lot of folks sitting on those AR's hoping for prices to go through the roof so they can sell off, are the same folks who holler 'I'll never do business with CTD because they price-gouged during the panic.'
In many cases your ethical stance depends on whether you are buying or selling.
But then again, I'm the simple shit that gave a guy selling off all his property to go into assisted living more than he was asking for a rifle. Good deal for me, good deal for him, happy all around, smile in the mirror.

I've got Colt (Lots of Colt), LMT and I just bought a Brownell's upper and lower to make my XM177E1 clone. Wanted something to remind me of the XM177 I carried in my aircraft during the mid-1980's.
I bought a Bushmaster back during the late 90's and the AWB. It had this horrible flash hider abortion called a "Mini-Y-Comp". The damn thing was loud - painfully loud. After about 100 rounds thru the Bushmaster, the Mini-Y-Comp blew off the end and landed in the dirt. Had a guy down in Florida (can't remember his name) and well known gunsmith put one of his extended A2 flash hiders on the upper to make it legal. Really great item. I think that gunsmith is dead now. Sold off that Bushmaster and bought my first LMT.

Ha ha. Thanks for the Bushmaster memories. Had nearly the same experience.
I believe you are talking about Kurt from Kurts’s Kustom Firearms (KKF). I had the same work done. Remember, back then it wasn’t an true FH, it was a muzzle brake that looked like an A2 FH.
That guy died in a motorcycle accident I believe. He was an interesting guy and quite the legend on BARFCOM during the AWB and before his death.

What else I noticed at the same gun show, the prices of other Colt rifles hadn't budged.
There was a ban era HBAR A4 match, a 16 inch AR-15 A2, a couple of SP1. No increase in asking prices
That's the guy-Kurt Wala, of Kurt's Kustom Firearms. That extended muzzle brake fake A2 was actually quite nice, and he machined this stuff himself. The Bushmaster was not a bad rifle. I think I had run @ 1000 rounds in it before I sold it after the AWB sunset. I had removed that pinned sliding stock and put the real deal on it. Other than the Mini-Y-Comp, never had any kind of failure with that carbine. Took that money from the sale and did an LMT SBR.
