AR15 BASICS FORUM RULES

This forum is in the technical area, but will have slightly relaxed rules. We want to welcome members who are new to the AR platform and give them a forum to ask questions which might be too basic for the AR General forum. As always, we expect people to be treated with courtesy. If the original post is questionable to
you, IM one of the moderators and alert them. DO NOT troll other
people's posts who annoy you. You're not doing anyone a favor and will
probably get in trouble yourself. If you think someone is out of line
use the "REPORT" button and let the mods handle it.
As always, don't forget the Four Rules for Handling Firearms.

NO BASHING OF "N00BS". This forum was specifically established to introduce people to the AR15 and also to AR15.com. Instead of posting wise-cracks, give useful advice.

READ THE FAQ (In progress)

USE THE REPORT BUTTON: Be
polite and act like an adult; this is not general discussion. If
someone has made a foolish purchase or given foolish advice do not call
them names or use profanity. Explain politely what you believe the
problem is or contact a moderator or staff member. Similarly, if you
think someone is shilling please contact a moderator and let us
investigate.

POST THREADS IN THE CORRECT SECTIONS.
Please do not post threads about new assault weapon laws, movies or
other items that are not related to the physical functioning of AR15s.
Also don't ask about ammo, optics, and other topics which are covered by
their own forum. The mods spend too much time with these distractions,
and may lock a thread instead of moving it. IF A THREAD HAS BEEN MOVED,
IT MAY NOT LEAVE A POINTER TO ITS NEW LOCATION. Click on the "My Topics" button to see the new location of your post.

KEEP YOUR COMMENTS ON-TOPIC AND YOUR SMART-ALEC COMMENTS TO YOURSELF. The
technical forums are for technical discussions, and posting stupid
comments if you think someone else's comments are not up to your
standards are a sure way to get you into trouble. Please do not post
funny photoshops, cute pictures or internet "meme" in the technical
sections. Please take up discussions about other firearms, such as
pistols, shotguns etc being better than an AR15 for some task in the
General Firearms section.

Do NOT make claims or provide expertise regarding items you have no first hand experience with.

Do not make comments about other members lack of posts or time on the site.
There are very experienced military personnel and law enforcement
officers who only post here once in awhile. If you think someone is
making false statements about their experience or background please
contact a moderator. This has been a problem in the past and will be
dealt with.

If someone appears new or inexperienced, try to be helpful. If you are new or inexperienced in some area please avoid giving advice about something which you are not knowledgeable about.

Please use thread titles that give some indication what the thread is about.
For example if your new Hellblast light does not work try "Hellblast
light broke" vs. "well this sucks" or "what do you think about this"
Using generic thread titles will make it less likely that someone who is
familiar with light (or whatever) will see thread, also the thread will
not show up in SEARCH later when someone else encounters the same
problem.

Daddy loves you. Now go away.
