overzealous gungho mod.....2-3 post before the lock they said it was an info thread they were not trying to sell in the tech forum.
they did it to mfingar a few days ago, locking his sopmod poster INFO thread. He had a sales thread for them in the EE. the info thread was just that....FYI for the masses. |

I personally saw no reason to lock that thread. There was nothing for sale there as was stated. There is a new product coming out and some info was posted about it. This guy saw that alot of people on here continually talk about wanting an AUG so he posted some INFO about one that will be out in the future. Way to welcome him.
Why haven't any of the SCAR or SIG 556 threads been locked? |

Yeah, would have been nice to follow the development a little more...I mean we talk about the BIG guys' development of weapons like the FN SCAR and SIG 556 all the time in here.
Not like he gave us a price, a website, or in any way, shape, or form did anything that would help one of us buy any rifle or part. |

Yeah! The two threads were good. TPD's AUG had more or less taken over the AUGA3 thread, but it wasn't a for sale either (hell, TPD brought PJ's Aug to our attention). People were asking about the rifle so PJ came over and started a thread with info and so he could answer our questions. Now our questions about TPD's rifle and PJ's rifle are getting all mixed together. Two seperate threads would've been better. One for each rifle, as they are, to my knowledge two guns (one takes AUG mags, one takes AR15 mags) Shit, PJ said he'd buy an Industry tag when they started selling. Goddamn hard for TPD and PJ to sell guns that haven't even been finished yet.

even after the author said this about being an industry partner.....
"-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Quoted: Shouldn't you be an Industry Partner to be running an ad on the site? TRG Currently just informing the public, not selling. Once we are ready to take orders we will team up. Thanks, Pete " he clearly stated he was not selling, just putting out the info as we all do. the mod said it was locked do to selling outside the EE. he clearly did not read the whole thread, as such if he doesnt have time to read the whole thing then maybe he doesnt have time to be a mod. just my .02 here is the link ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=6&f=2&t=207829 |

I'm hoping that this didn't piss this guy off enough to just say to hell with this site. I'm interested enough to search the whole net to see if I can find him somewhere else but I would rather not have to.

It's pissed me off too.
You cannot advertise and sell something that doesn't exist yet. CAN YOU HEAR ME MODS ???? Pete is well known in the AUG community and he gets his thread nuked in record time because a tool of a member goes and informs a mod  It was just information and he said that he would join up with this bitch of a site when they were ready to sell their product. Seems like AR15.com is becoming a little anti-gun to me  I wouldn't blame him if he never posted here again for the shit that was pulled on him. Mods, ever take a look at the 14 page AUG thread below this one ??? Give me a break ! We are supposed to proliferate information for guns on this site. Ya know, help out the gun community, second amendment rights and all that.... everyone remember why we are here |

Wow, I don't know what the mod was thinking, PJ gave no prices, no links to anywhere with prices, hell, the frickin' gun doesn't even exist yet technically, how could he have possibly been selling it?
MMK should unlock that thread and at least give a quick "sorry, my bad" to PJ in my opinion. |

I can't say I fully understand the distinction you've made, in my mind neither of those things would make the thread an ad, but I don't make the rules or run the site.
It's my understanding that if there had been no E-mail address then the thead wouldn't have been locked, is that the case? That seems like a flimsy distinction to make. I guess it's a judgement call, albeit one which I don't fully understand. |

I have no access to the inside of Ed Sr.'s head but it's safe to say the overall tone of "we're almost ready to sell this really cool item--contact me for details!" is the reason for it. We do NOT want to run anyone off, but we have to be fair to the advertisers who abide by the rules and PAY to be here. The site has rules and they are enforced as fairly as possible. That's the case here, nothing more. The guy's thread is still visible, his account has not been locked, and the sun will rise in a few hours.

Fair. Fair like taking advertising dollars from Trijicon, then allowing 1337 Tactifuckthegunindustry to sell TA01NSNs, Leupold Mk IV's, and Aimpoint knock-offs in the Optics Forum and EE? Talk about unfair, unjust, and plain fucking wrong. But hey, I do see the "fair" distinction between 1337 and the guy announcing an upcomming new weapon, 1337 is a paid dealer here. Rip off artist or not. Not to say that is your decision TBK1, but somebody has a highly suspect sense of "fair" around here. Maybe that persons honest explanation of their version of "fair" should be posted around here so we know where the line is drawn. |

Guys its my mistake for posting an email address. Mods, the only reason I posted an email address was to forward info on the project, not to sell. We will not be selling anything until the rifle is ready to ship. We are not ready to sell yet. I have not even disclosed the companies name or the rifles name yet. Will do when we get closer. If you guys like I will keep posting progress on the project and i can share with you guys the birth of a new rifle in our industry. Step by step. Thanks for the support guys!!! Pete/Pjs |

Very simply put. the thread was reported. i read the thread and asked for advice in the staff forum. those further up the food chain felt it was a for sale ad, as did I. I locked it as such. he needs to contact the EE staff about setting up an dealer account, which he clearly is. mmk

Shot ya'll an email, but you might be swamped. Is there going to be any provision for a scope like the "classic" 1.5X, or is it just the rail? |

When you say "deliver after Shot Show" are you referring to ones that will be pre-ordered before Shot Show or will ordering not even start until after Shot Show? I just don't want to miss out on the first order list. Thanks again for helping bring this rifle to the market. |

Is there a name yet for this rifle? You can't call it the AUG so what are you going to call it? Just curious.
Will the rail that you'll offer be similiar to the A3 in style? |

If you really want the 1.5x scope, I will give you mine from my USR and you can put it on one of Kent's receivers. I have no use for it and will never use it. |

I'm looking at getting a bullpup and almost decided on the FN FS2000 but this definitely has snagged my interest.
One thing that I didn't catch was whether this would have a removable barrel? If so, are there plans/ideas/hallucinations on offering a 6.8 SPC barrel? Thanks for having such faith in us to spend this time and capital on bringing a new offering to market.  wganz ¶ |

The mags are dependent on the stock, not the receiver. Kent's receiver will work with AUG mag stocks just fine, and since Pete is making US AUG mags compliance is a non-issue. |

I understand that all the metal components in TPDSOT's AUG will be coated with a ceradyne ultra hard ceramic coating; do you plan on offering a similar coating on your AUG's? Thanks. Justin |
