chris costa FTW! Rocking the M110 via KAC.
Forget Chuck Norris, we're gonna start cloning Chris Costa and dropping him all over the middle east. http://i415.photobucket.com/albums/pp238/ravenwulfe101/IMG.jpg?t=1238208538 |

I am glad I saw this thread tonight, I was actually thinking of having you do some work for me.....that sure as hell isn't going to happen now. I will also be telling my friends(who were actually going to send work your way) to look else where......Chris is a good guy and has done alot, this has nothing to do with him.....and all to do with your condescending attitude. Thanks for saving me a trip to the post office. |

I don't blame Steve at all. Some of the guys that post here take things too far with the whole "groupie" thing. The guy works for Magpul Dynamics and made a video with Travis. Other than that I am sure no one has heard of him in the AR15.com world. But being that he works for Magpul, everyone wants to suck his dick. Have at it guys. Carry on Steve, I will send you some work when I get back to make up for the work you lost with your comments
ETA: I want to make it clear that I am in no way discrediting Costa or anyone else. That was not the purpose of my post. Some of the posters here get a little crazy with picture/gear requests etc and it turns some people off. If Costa had went to work for Vulcan Armament with his same resume you guys would be talking shit about him. |

Chris Costa is a bad ass mo-fo and a Very cool guy. We took a private class from Chris and we all had a great time. Chris definitly knows his shit..
|

I have decided to send work to ADCO based on this thread. I hate the experienceless groupie attitude that permeates some of these threads, and appreciate a no BS outside the box thinker. No offense to anyone, it's just nice to see some true colors once in a while.

I don't care who he is. I asked a simple question about something, and a yes or no or something would have been fine. I sent an e-mail to ADCO more than two weeks ago about getting some work done, but they never got back with me. I spent my money elsewhere. I am glad I did now. If you had more than 38 post and 2 months time on the board you'd know ADCO's industry forum is probably the best way to contact them. I'm going to guess that since BHO-mania has started, their number of incoming emails has probably increased 1000 fold. |

LOL, I'm sorry, did I hurt some feelings? I see his name pop up every day and just wondered who exactly he was. I still dont see the point of all the enthusiasm, or understand why "Costa" has replaced "Norris" around here. Good for Mr. Costa though, I wish him well. No feelings hurt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khqxDNc-mbI ROCK ON! |

I bet you never thought this thread would go the way it did with your sly remarks......you proobably lost hundreds if not thousands tonight.....sleep on that.

Hmmm, that POS was just adopted by the US Army to replace the M24. It got the SASS contract. Man, so many haters in here, no wonder no one likes us. No, Steve is correct. Just because the Army buys something, doesn't mean it's good gear. The M110 has a rep among people using it in the real world as being reliable OR accurate. Not both in most instances. One of my very good friends is issued one. He's getting ready for yet ANOTHER deployment to Afghanistan as an SF sniper. He's BTDT, and knows. The M110 is NOT the weapon that people think it is. Of course, Costa works for KAC, so you won't really hear that outta him. Quoted:
I've got my own doubts about this Costa guy. He may have learned a few things lately, and he is apparently a good parrot and repeats them well, but as far as I know, the Coast Guard does not have any HSLD types. At least I've never met any in the work I've done, so that must mean they are SUPER HSLD. His resume to me sounds like: Coastie with some type of NBC training. I don't know where he gets off being a small arms expert. Of course he may have learned on his own since then, but from what is posted publicly, the training and experience background in SMALL ARMS TACTICS is not there. This has got to be the best example I've ever seen of someone thinking they know something, and knowing precisely DICK. There are coast guard units that do more ship boardings in a month than some seals do in a career. |

I think everyone needs to lighten up a notch.
We here at Magpul love Costa for no other reason than he is a very funny guy who can shoot very well. Life is too short not to have some fun in what you do and having fun with Chris and Travis online is just that, a little bit of fun. That said if you do not think the Coast Guard does "exciting stuff" you might want to check out their drug interdiction units and offensive ship boarding tactics. If you think Chris is somehow not high speed enough for you to give him credibility then you might want to attend a course with him and see. Chris is actually a very humble guy and if you can teach him something he is very eager to learn but you will have to prove to him your way is better. However that will mean attending a course and not just anonymous quips on the internet. |

Open mouth insert foot. |

I would love to attend one of his classes. I hope he comes to Texas to give one when I am able. Damn foot surgeries. I will be getting the videos until I can go to a class in person.

"Does his resume go beyond being in a video on the interweb?"
Dude! He's the magpul guy. from: http://www.tacticalgunfan.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=435 Costa's Background Chris Costa's resume is impressive in terms of firearms training and risk management, as well as in several other unique skillsets. He's has spent a number of years in the private sector at Applied Marine Technologies, Inc. ("AMTI") and Linxx on assignment with the U.S. Department of Homeland Security's Risk Management Division (RMD).

You might be mistaken....doesn't really matter. He doesn't need a resume....prolly just wondering why someone would mention chris costa like a household name when he's never heard of him. I've only heard of him in the last year or so when he signed on with magpul.....had you heard of him before that? Now I am going to quote Butthead......."Dammit Beavis...settle down!" Really....way to serious. |

Yeah I just saw Costa on a "Future Weapons" replay this afternoon. The Masada/ACR episode. The one in which he and Mac perform a tactical insertion via Robinson helo. Too funny.

My god some of you are hilarious you act like Costa is your fuckin' mother! Don't you talk bad about my MOMMA!! LOL Lighten up not everyone hovers around the magpul industry forum looking to suck up Costa and Travis. Sure it would be cool to take a class with him. But for Gods sake he's a big boy he doesn't need any of YOU to stick up for him. And by the way I don't doubt Chris's abilities or his knowledge but you guys are gettin a little out of control. |
