It wouldn't matter if you tacked it - people don't read the tacked threads anyway before they post. It's easier to start a new thread. That's the way it has always been on every online board I have ever visited. Here, everyone wants to know: Which should I get 16" or 20"? Should I check my headspace? Which manufacturer is the best? Why is the AR better than the AK? What twist rate should I get? Which ammo is the best bang for the buck? Is X namebrand any good? How do I get my barrel threaded for a FH? Is 6.8 SPC better than 6.5 Grendel? What are the weights of the different buffers (CAR, H, H2, 9mm, etc.)? I've only been here a short while, and I've seen those same questions 100 times or more. No amount of stickying or archiving would make the posts go away - I've tried it as a mod at other forums. People just won't research BEFORE they ask. If it's not on the first two pages and phrased exactly like they want to ask it, they never notice it has been asked already. Plus, they want to tell us about what they think, so they may just start a new thread with a leading question just to get some attention. As for the loaded mags question - first time I've seen this one, but I'm an ARFCOM noob.  I keep all of my mags loaded at all times, just in case of zombie invasion.

Either type will last a long time. CS will take an initial set, but not will not take an additional set on subsequent load/unload cycles. |
Don't worry about posting a question that has already been asked. If you didn't, some of these pissy pants wouldn't have any thing to bitch about. If it bothers them so much then why did they even click on your post in the first place AND THEN take the time to reply back like a pissed off five year old. Some people. |
I've asked all the noob questions already in the past few months. Nobody yelled at me. If they do, it's the internet - most of these posters are about 14 years old. Just keep that in mind, and don't sweat it. There are quite a few "mall ninjas" on here, and they are usually the ones who get all riled up easily.

Good point .... I really hate it when that happens. |
| I read an article recently in one of the many gun mags that I buy and it covered a rare find. They found an old WWII 1911 and Three fully loaded mags and a box of old 45 ACP ammo in an estate sale. They proceeded to test the firearm (with newer non corrosive ammo) it worked fine. The ammo itself, only had two misfires, not bad with 45 year old ammo and it grouped fine. The mags themselves worked flawlessy. Both with the stored ammo that was loaded into them all those years ago and afterwards after they reloaded the mags and blasted away. The mags will last years and years. I will concur that that if you don't leave at least 8 or 10 of your AR15 mags loaded and in your ammo can or in your tac vest, when the crap hits the fan you will be sorry. Read the story in the NRA publication First Freedom about how one man and his wife evacuated from the floods caused by Katrina. He really understood the meaning of the second amendment after his and his wife's ordeal. |
Is there a link to the article online? |
