I'm new here too. I started a thread within 10 posts....the information I recieved was priceless. I had so many great replies, and informative insight that I felt relieved that finally, I had found a forum with a very well informed group of people. They all have a sense of humor too, and I would imagine, with the recent political climate and general anxiety concerning gun regulations, this sight as well as other gun forums are being inundated with newbies posting threads, cluttering the forum, with the all to typical "im too lazy to search, google, or read magazines so please tell me now" kind of threads. You even comparing this forum to AR15 is a slap in the face to these guys. I lurked on ar15, and the best thing I ever did was get away from those ridiculous ar15 Call of Duty douchebags.
