[ARCHIVED THREAD] - AR TECH FORUM... (Page 1 of 2)

Is a tard fest. Sorry, but what happened? So much misinformation. |
Haha, coming from the person who can't show one example of what he's bitching about... Sheesh, when is school going back in session?? |
Example A:
STFU. |
One example from our "Genius" OP:
http://www.ar15.com/forums/topic.html?b=3&f=118&t=387776 So the OP can't tell the difference between plastic and aluminum. Even though it's a know fact (and something Bushmaster acknowledges) that they use Plastic trigger guards. I have several bushies and I have other lowers with aluminum trigger guards the differences are obviouse. From Bushmaster (Jarrod) 5/9/2001 :

I guess I got shown whats up!

No, it's because you have been around less than a year and you ask what happened. There has been no drastic change in the tech forums in the last 6 months. So unless you have a more examples STFU. Claiming that the tech forums are a tard fest in GD of all places doesn't exactly help your case either. |
*Going to check Bushmaster lower* Yep, mine is plastic. Definitely not aluminum. |
So this thread is just chocked full of irony? |
Wow talk about you don't know what you dont know.Yes there are only a few forging companies. But WHICH dies are used (either company owned or forger owned). Just because several use the same forging firm doesn't mean you used the same dies. Plus many companies do their own machining of the forgings. Then you get to the small parts. I'm betting you don't realize there are grades of small parts, just as there are different grades of bolts. Not to mention things like proof testing, and magnetic particle inspection of important parts. These difference are often seen at training classes where the round count can run up to 1500 rounds in a 3 day course. |
Well, I don't know about "Most" of the folks ere but.....I'm happy as hell to have the noobs here making goofy statements, asking about "Tacti-cool" gear, quoting "Facts" that MAY or MAY not be ect...because it means that we're still attracting youngsters to the sickness I've been shooting AR-15's for over 3 decades and, if some kid who's been on the planet half that amount of time (And who only owns an airsoft model of an M-16) wants to join this site and chime-in with HIS/HER two cents? Good for them! If you know what they're saying is crap(?) Buy the kiddo a vowel and help them out (In a nice way). Shit, the Federal gubmint PAYS me to rebuild these freaking things and I still learn something new daily from folks here. BTW, come the revolution...I'm gettin' ME one O them AK-47's 'cause EVERYONE knows that the M-16 series is junk and and frankly....I WANT more thrust per squeeze (Or whatever that stupid shit said! lol). |
hey i just got a report that the IQ in gd dropped to unsafe levels!! what the hell happened?.... oh..... nevermind 
|
My point is that I do know that there are only a few forges that make AR uppers and lowers. I also know that there are a hand full of machine shops that machine most uppers and lowers for all companies, but what that post said of who is all made by the same place is very inaccurate. If any big manufacturer says they make something "in house" they are lying. They al get parts from numerous machine shops that most people have never heard of. |
Is that what makes them so mad? |
I may be a "NOOB" to this site, but I build these weapons 9 1/2 hrs a day 6 day's a week. |
Where? In your basement? Must be dark if you can't tell the difference between a plastic trigger guard and an aluminum one. |
Truth here, if no one asked "stupid" questions, [it might be stupid to YOU but not to the poster who might be new at the AR game] then typical questions would not be answered either. Soon, newer posters wouldn't bother to post at all in the tech forums and would go elsewhere for answers AND camaraderie, it not always just about the technical question in the end, the back and forth between firearm owners is what this site is about. I would imagine every question under the sun has been asked here about ARs at one time or another, I would bet that you would not HAVE to ask ANY questions if you just wanted to look for an answer to a question. We were ALL new to ARs at one time or another, we should welcome EVERY new owner who is interested in firearms. Who knows, someday that new owner might answer a question you have on something they are familiar with. |
Alright, alright, he already owned up. Don't kick the man when he's down, I say.  And +1 to what Treadhead said. I was once a n00b, too. |
Erm that is not what the post you pulled says. i think theres maybe 3 or 4 companies ...that make the parts ... for about 20 different companies. Here you are basically repeating what that post says: I do know that there are only a few forges that make AR uppers and lowers. so i give your rant a

LOL and IN I've got two tards,one for each of ya

I dug myself a deep hole and I know I wont get out without a few kicks in the face but.... I used to scan the tech area quite a bit and see some good info from knowledgeable people and lately it's like they all just vanished. Maybe things go in cycles and it hasn't gone full circle yet. I do work in the industry and I do know a little bit about the manufacturing end of things. People I work with have had there jobs threatened for posting certain information on this site so I try not to say anything too specific. Oh well, back to the whipping post. |
So, DPMS? |
