I took this class last year at Rifles Only in Texas. EXCELLENT instruction!

Oh, I'm getting warmed up to this one.....

what he's talking about is that BM guns haven't been known to withstand too many severe rigors... specifically, the redundancy that is built into a lot of 'top tier' manufacturers simply aren't there (again, historically speaking) into a BM gun. Things such as staking the end plate to the...

I use a Gemtech Trek on a 16" 'semi-precision' gun. The gas system is a midlength, and I've increased the buffer weight so that I don't beat up the gun too much. I really like mine, and I've walked all around Colorado and Texas shooting at critters with it.

what is the carbine course? Is it a basic beginner's course, somethign that you're going to run around with, or something that has been steered towards the 3-gunners/competition shooters? I attended my first course with iron sights and an army issue nylon sling. I learned a crap ton about how...

unless they are extending that same courtesy (the 'We Got Your Back' program) to the rest of us lowly citizens, then that might also be something to consider when making a decision to purchase a gun. To me, I don't just purchase an item.. I purchase a company.

Thanks! 355sigfan 's post could be interpreted to imply differently (especially when directly comparing JP's policy), hence my question. I guess going down the rabbit hole of the publicly stated motivations of either company could delve into the realm of politics. That's a fine line...
