Thanks man! I've always been interested in firearms for many reasons. The idea was to get something to serve as a multiple role gun - home defense and a duty rifle. I work security and since I'm 20 I am not able to be an armed guard; however, when I turn 21 I plan on taking the first armed...
1.) Zhee-Blocks-Zoid or Zuh-Blocks-Zoid. Bloxzoid with a Z in front of it. It’s a unique username I’ve had since I was a child.
2.) Probably not here to cite information from people - not saying it isn’t great info, a lot of it is about firearms and not the jillion other aspects of...
Hey, I’m new here. I’ve made a couple posts but decided this would be a good way to reach a few people in my area potentially.
I am around Terre Haute, and studying Criminology at Indiana State. I am new to the gun scene in general, although not in experience with firearms fortunately.

More or less - is it important? Yes, if it’s a part that is vital. If it isn’t then maybe, since each part should be tested. There’s a curve of price to performance and finding the sweet spot is the ideal way to do it.
It's not about the fact it's the internet - it's the fact I see and hear dozens of anecdotes all saying the same thing and knowing people who are in the military right now. The equipment usually DOESN'T fail; I never said that. I stated that MilSpec is not bad, but not good. It is literally the...
My buddy in the Army, combat medic. He is friends with their small arms repairmen. More or less cheapest equipment gets the contract, but that's his anecdotal evidence. Other than that, it's just heard from multiple sources all over the internet. I wouldn't be willing to believe that but so many...
Gotcha, I'm in college so that expensive guns are just not an option. The best price is what I can afford. Not saying good stuff ain't good - I'm a musician. But I think the idea of diminishing returns is not considered a lot when talking about gear. I think less of it is with rifles nowadays...
Here's what I've seen and experienced - the Amazon Special is an airsoft optic (a good portion of the time). Holosun and SIG are the lowest end of what's acceptable. Monstrum can get a little pass as their magnifiers are great and they make good options for CHEAP prism optics. Most of it is...
If the gun performs its action without a catastrophic failure - then yes. I should have specified I could care less about ergonomics and EXTREME accuracy. It should be accurate within reason, but in a SHTF scenario it doesn't need to be 1 MOA at 400 yards. The low-end civilian market rifles are...
Budget guns are awesome. Yes some crap is - well, crap. It's almost like a game of jack-in-the box but instead of box opening with a puppet, your AR15 has an OOBD or a catastrophic failure in general. I will give PSA credit for making guns that seem well built, and last. There's a few 1000+...
Andro Corp Industries ACI15 - my first gun. 16" with a 15" free-float MLOK handguard and an "A2" flash hider. Works great and runs like a dream - although a handguard retention screw backed out and made a new home on the floor of the Top Guns Terre Haute range. Has an Olight Odin Mini with the...
200 Rounds of M855. Could be some bootleg stuff, not sure, but PMC hasn't failed me yet with their M193. I've just been burning through ammo my friends and coworkers have given me because they no longer own a 5.56 rifle or ended up not buying one after getting ammo.
