That's not Tom exclusively, several members here checked into your history on other sites. It's common practice here to see what other forums are getting from your membership, especially when questions arise as to validity. Having proclaimed yourself a "professional gunsmiter", a misnomer to say the least in that you neither acknowledged nor appreciated the potential danger of recognizing and distinguishing the AR-10 brand. That doesn't speak well for your professional experience. Clearly you have a sense of humor, but you seem to utilize it as best suits you, taking offense at what was clarified to be an inside joke. You further demonstrated hypocrisy when you gave a long-winded speech about how enlightened the pro homosexual movement is but in the same paragraph suggested that the implication of homosexuality was an insult. I'm still waiting for an explanation on that one. When your potentially dangerous disregard for nomenclature was called out, you postured and avoided the questions that were asked of you and chose instead to restate your credentials in case anybody might have missed the resume you posted for yourself in your introduction. You made it clear that your opinion/experience was more important to you than the possible consequences for anyone acting on information derived from your supposed experience, that makes you a liability. I have personally contravened the suggestions and opinions of my peers, the resident forum members, and the senior forum members at large in order to let you explain/defend yourself. You have chosen to conduct your fighting in the full view of the forum membership, this isn't a back room decision to get rid of you by "Tom's friends", this is the forum at large letting you know that it doesn't think you belong. Private messages were the correct venue for addressing your issues all along, and there won't be any need for them now, it's just too late. The forum having reached a consensus, this problem is at the end of it's life cycle. Best of luck to you in the future, happy trails.

I bought two boxes of 12 gauge shells, and then went and shot two rounds of skeet with my dad. It was a great day!

Should be Good To Go, unless your build isn't DPMS patterned...

You've been drinking with those Rock River fans again, haven't you? <laughs> :ifly: :hethan: :bb: :happydrunks: :ecs:

Letting nomenclature errors run amuck has long been a no-no here. We don't want confused newcomers mixing and matching parts that aren't compatible and getting themselves needlessly inconvenienced, injured, or killed. Besides, Armalite is a perfectly respectable brand, and even if there wasn't a better reason, we'd still differentiate.

I'm getting closer, I've renounced my citizenship and am calling all my guns by the wrong names.

I have been busy with the new job, I'll find time to do troll cleanup at some point...

It has been a while since I saw a DGW receiver set, does the upper have a 90° single radius profile, or is it angled with two radiused corners?

Yeah, these guys have no shame... This forum was originally centered around used q-tips.

We all know that the original pickup was in fact a modified Conestoga Wagon, therefore all pickups by virtue of their heritage should be called "wagons".

Sorry no good bastages, now I have to buy a sling... :rant2:

Sticking with my original guess.

It's easiest to go about it by researching which platform you want to use, and then asking what is AND what isn't compatible. Welcome to the forums!

We should all be so lucky...

Fixed it for ya! ;) Just an FYI, the AR-10 is brand specific to Armalite. We are particular about differentiating because there are proprietary differences between the AR-10 and other large AR platforms. It's important to us that newcomers don't experience difficulties arising from nomenclature misuse. Windstorm aside, welcome to the forums! :)

From the article: Considering the source, I don't think too many people will consider that angle to be credible.

I gotta figure out how to get that deal! My current 308 AR exchange rate is 36 months of soda crackers and creek water...

Congrats brother, I'll be starting the process of getting my pilot license soon myself.

Welcome to the forums!

I like it! I am pretty partial to Mega builds anyways, but that one really is nice.

Fine. *pouts*

Ya know, it would really suck if power tripping Mods or Admins screwed with the guesses... :D

17 Beachin' Tactical Slings in the bucket! ... I hope ...

Please don't do that, nothing could be farther from the truth.
