I haven't been a member all that long, but I do read a lot. I don't tend to post unless I can reasonably contribute to the thread. I have an AR, and am building two AKs from unissued Romy kits now (as soon as I get to bend the flats, that is).
I only know two people who are members, so I certainly don't have an axe to grind with anyone personally, but I hesitate to post ANYTHING in the AR side because there is a track record of "piling on" anyone who posts a question that is deemed unworthy. I read threads and feel sorry for complete strangers who were just trying to get some info. Soon the thread has turned into something completely different than what it started as, and the inquiring party has learned that: 1. there are lots of a-holes on the internet 2. any problems you have is because you didn't buy all the stuff I say is the best, including the picatinny-mount food processor with tactical lid. Just my perception, but what good is an internet forum if the only people made to feel welcome are the people who already have all the answers? |

Hi guys, I'm just a dick from the "other" side of the forums. Sorry if the AR shooters come off as know-it-all assholes, but at least we have one thing in common. We all love evil black rifles. I guess I'm a non typical AR owner in the sense that I have a Bushmaster AR and a Colt, I'm not a brand whore. I LOVE Wolf ammo, and I shoot it in every caliber I can find except for 308. I save my cheapo 30 Port suplus for that. I have an SKS and an AK that I enjoy shooting as much as the AR's. I've been spending more time over here because I'm ready to get ANOTHER AK. The only problem I'm having is deciding between building up a kit or purchasing a new factory AK with underfolder. I recently shot a 20 year old Yugo underfolder AK and was pleasantly surprised how comfortable the stock was.

Sometimes I really wonder about the AR side. I get an almost equal amount of B.S. & useful info there.
One week, there's a thread about the benefits of KNS anti-walk pins, the next week there's a 100% bash thread about them, probably by people who don't even understand the purpose KNS pins serve. The other favorite is when anyone mentions Colt AR's, the first thing said is "Duh, they all have non-milspec FCG's." Then how come my blue label 9mm AR has a mil-spec FCG?  That's just two examples, I'm sure I could come up with more if I had to. On the AK side, I don't feel like I'm reading B.S. half the time. Scott |

When you are being shot at, you do not sit there and think "Oh, it sure is GOOD he is shooting WOLF ammo! Everyone knows that stuff is SHIT!!"
 Nor do you spend much time considering what KIND of gun is sending you a chance at death/dismemberment. What would you rather be up against, an ARFCOM know it all on the internet Gomer Pyle with a tricked out AR and milspec ammo or Alvin York with WOLF ammo and an AK?  GR |

Regarding Wolf, I love it! I don't know what people mean when they say it stinks though, I just smell cordite or whatever it is. I like the AK side more myself, my only evil rifle is a VEPR. I plan on getting an AR soon too but it will be supplementary to the VEPR.
And as far as accuracy goes on Wolf, I'm no sniper but it seems plenty fine for me. I like to shoot pop cans, milk jugs, bags of flour, and so on. All "reactive targets". Other than the fact that I need a sight adjustment, I'm all set with the AK. Shooting groups to me is a test to see if your sights are dialed in properly, then you go back to the fun stuff. |

i keep trying to leave the ak side, and just learn as much about other things on the site as i have over here, because that would be a great thing to know, but every single section i run into i find the know-it-all asshole. time and time again. then i come back here, and no matter what is happening here- it doesn't compare.
thanks you commie lovers

Glad it's working out here for you guys!
Keeping info over attitude without being dull is the goal. Although the AK Disc dumping ground is still due for a bit of thread moving, since you can't find an answer if the themes are not followed at all. Your willingness to help the inevitable next wave of noobs helps a lot! Time to dust off an this values statement www.3dweb.no/galleri/stuestolbm/bilder/anim1.swf |

+1 Not putting anyone down, just stating facts. I don't think I've seen a thread here that was a pissing match, or 20 guys ganging up to slam some poor slob who asked a legit question. I have seen that several times in the few threads I've read in the AR section. I'm sure the AR boards are a wonderful place, but the dynamic on the AK threads is a lot more civil and friendly. |

might it have something to do with the volume of traffic? For example AR15 Discussion topics/replies 43,616/535,623 AK47 discussion topics/replies 19,076/186,143. I mean if you have 3 times the volume you have 3 times the number of chances to piss someone off.

Exactly what I was trying to say in my post.... The % number of post and traffic just multiplies the number of Fucktards you have chance to encounter. I ain't scared to go over there.  I just hang here the most. I collect them all. I don't discriminate........  , Wardawg

3 times the volume means 3 times the volume. The whole volume. By that logic you should also have 3 times the helpful, polite and serious responses. That doesn't appear to be the case on the other side. |

I started out over there, until I found this side. They seem to have a different approach and attitude towards their AR hobby, this side seemed a lot more laid back. It was just too easy to get lost and confused by how many posts occur on that side everyday. I tried to start an ARs in action around the world thread, and 2 people responded.
