Well I don't have a LE/Military job that requires me to clear hostile buildings at Zero Dark:30. And, if I thought someone was lurking around my house at night, I would just call the cops. IF I thought someone was inside my house at night, I would just grab my 3D Maglight and my Kimber. I guess simple and effective is just not Tactical enough.  Its great if you have all the gear. But, for me, I just don't think its really necessary to be a good rifleman/shooter.

I thought:
I could get by with one AR. (try 3.) That I would never spend more than $1000 for a rifle (ha ha) I would buy a Colt for my first AR (RRA and then an LMT and my third AR is a Colt though) I don't know very much so I better use this site to find out what I need to know, ( I was right on the money with that one. I have learned a lot here and I learn more almost everyday.) |

1. I used to think I preferred HK91s and 93s to AR15s (still like the 91s, though)
2. I used to think Galils were my favorite assault rifles chambered in .223 3. I used to think railed hand guards (especially SIRs) were overkill for civilian use Man, was I ever wrong! Next stop in my disease's progression: 20" 6.8 SPC. |

When I first came to AR15.com's Discussion Forums, I thought, "There's no one here." But that's because, in 1997, there were less than 200 users, and even fewer *active* accounts. Most folks were still using the AR15-L mailing list at that time. Many of those folks are here now (Chuck, Tweak, JohnM, Forest, etc.).
 I also used to think that new folks would naturally notice posts tacked to the top of a forum, and read them before posting, so they'd know what was going on before jumping in. Bad call on my part...  -Troy |

Hey Troy,
I love the tacked posts at the top. you can get a lot of info out of the tacked post. If you were to take all of the info that is tacked, you have a good basis of what the AR is all about. Just my 2 cents, Badredfish |

I thought the ar15 system was fragile, easily jammed, and got dirty very easy.
