BRD=Black Rifle Disease
Symptoms:
-irresistible desire to get accesories to improve a good, modular design to fit ones personal tastes, or needs.
-Often this leads to the desire to dable in building or assembling a custom rifle, in addition to the first one purchased.
-This is often done to have a specialized version for long range, light weight, or to familiarize one's self more completely with the function of the basic design.
-Eventually one finds threads about "Retro builds, IDF clones, KISS rifles" and decides he has to break the "Gucci rifle" trend and must have a super simple rifle that will not have any "gear queer" stuff on it, because the AR is best in it's pure form.
-He then realizes he has enough spare parts to make a high speed "zombie killer".
And the circle progresses uncontrolably, new callibers are discovered, NFA weapons are found to be attainable. At this point there is no cure. All that can be done for the patient is to make him comfortable by pointing him to the site sponsors and EE.
I'm really sorry but I like to be honest with patients.
Welcome to the sickness.
