Could you explain your thought process here please? I’m genuinely curious what your motivations are for your comments in this thread; they don’t make sense to me but I’d like to hear it from your perspective.
You came here asking for help, but then pull this “holier than thou” virtue signaling stuff on the members who are actually knowledgeable enough to help you. Did it not occur to you that people would take offense and stop helping? Or did you just feel that it was more important to point out how disappointed you are in the rest of this group? Or what?
I mean, I get the idea of not buying cheap junk, but your motives are especially confusing considering that your gun problem was most likely caused by your own choice of cheap junk ammo. It’s no secret that you’d have gotten better quality from even the cheapest steel case
Chi-com ammo, so I’m guessing you had to have known that.
And I totally get the idea of not giving your money to our enemies, which China certainly is, but with seemingly half the country claiming loudly and openly that they’re also enemies of all conservatives, it seems prudent to look closer to home for the more immediate enemies. And of course you used Chinese electronics to tell the forum that you’re better than us because you don’t buy Chinese.
So please, help me understand your thought process. I’m trying to see things from the other perspective rather than assuming the most obvious conclusions, but this is a tough one.
Hmmm, pardon me.
I took up the sport when about 7m other people did last June. Never picked up a gun before, or certainly not often.
Bought some hand guns, then got an AR. Then got into long range. Bought what ammo was available at the time, which wasn't much. Learned what was "good" and what was not. Or what I thought was "good". Searched the interweb and found "Freedom Munitions", they had stuff, I thought it was "good" stuff, I bought it, shot it, and it was fine. Till now.
Started realizing quickly all ammo was not the same. So, I buy, when possible and from members here, Hornady, Lapua. But, I still had some FM, and so, with my new Suppressors that I ordered last November that just arrived, I shot it, and here I am. I honestly never new it was reloaded, now I know.
I may be new, but, I am a mechanic, I understand the importance of maintenance and quality. I clean my equipment. MUCH cleaner than some items I have purchased that have "Approx 100rnds and are "safe queens".
So. Someone suggested I buy a $20 camera and, yes, I am sorry, I went off. I own a business and do what I can to not buy Chinese "stuff" as A) It doesn't last, and B) It's not helping us.
Politics aside.
Now, this place is no different than other Forums, it's Clicky, and because I don't have 1000 post, or am not a sponsor, I am considered a no nothing.
Now, you want to get into Gates and Jobs, and whom ever other person who buys Chinese and Made in China to save and make a buck, I can't stop that. But, I try where I can. If more people would---------------------. It has nothing to do with who is better than who. And, that has nothing to do with politics.
What may I help you understand?
I appreciate all the feedback. I cleaned the gun, and saw nothing out of the ordinary, I will shoot it again on Sunday, with and without the suppressor and with The FR and some Sig ammo.
And, I do apologize for the Chinese rant, most likely to little too late, but still doesn't stop from from being aggravated about it or caring.
