So what happened with the vote?   the voting poll has to be close by now..... hope there are no hanging chads  do we need to call in the lawyers?   :) Wash

I'm still looking for a Suzuki Samurai, pretty sure it's not TECHNICALLY an AR 10; then again, I'm no PROFESSIONAL GUNSMITH or anything like some of y'all.

I have a Kawasaki 3010 Mule, it is exactly the same as a Suzuki, needs some repair as all of these  identical UTVs do, Suzuki parts will fit!!

 

 

....Vote, what vote? it was a poll, but isn't a vote and a poll exactly the same? yeah, what happened to the vote/poll results?

How's that new job going? Getting to do any PROFESSIONAL gunsmitting?

 

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

What it is called and what it is matters to people who buy parts and build these weapons. The name matters.  A MK11 isn't an AR-10, and an OBR isn't a SR-25.  Nor is a REPR a LAR 8  There are differences and the name matters.  308AR is generic term and those who deal with a variety of 308AR platforms find it easier to use 308AR as the macro view of the weapon and the MK11, AR-10, LR308, SR-25, M110, OBR, REPR, 417, etc etc etc the micro view for specific discussions.  

 

Although I can't speak for everyone, this is the way that the majority of us who shoot these weapons for a living and for recreation view this issue.  You obviously want to be part of this community so we ask that you honor this when discussing the many platforms here.  If not for yourself or the regulars, but for the new guys so that we may better assist them when they have questions about a specific platform....yes....most of us consider the term AR-10 a specific platform.  I think you will find most of us more receptive to that.

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.

From Stain?    Roger 10-4 copy that      <lmao>  Wash

 

It was all I could do not to include the "T" word in there.....but I refuse to play into DNP's hands any more.

Apparently......some people don't know as much as they think they do. I'm not EVEN gonna waste anymore brainpower on this. Obviously the purchase of all of those "heavy barreled" Armalite's by the Canadian Armed forces a couple years ago was overlooked by our guy from the north.

 

I'm done with this nonsense. We've got better things to do.

Let's not get carried away......

 

You've been drinking with those Rock River fans again, haven't you?  <laughs>
