If you really have a problem with it take it up with the moderators and don't hijack his feel good thread.

Here's my rant about these forums (and most others). Anytime some posts something there's always a couple people trying to find something wrong with their post or trying to "out smart" them and correct them publically to anyone who reads their thread. The purpose of this forum is for us to create a community to share info with a common bond due to a love for guns.

I guess it does look that way and I apologize for that.

No I am glad to OP found what he was looking for it is a good looking weapon. I like the color combo.

My problem is more with the sellers then the OP, he found what he liked and made an offer, of course it had to be through PM or profile post since you can NOT post in a classified ad till you have 50, so he did go around the rules which are in place for a reason.

No I would not. The point of the rule is to be part of the community.

I have read INGO for over a year before even becoming a member, I remember the problems that they had when the Obomanation first took office with noobs swallowing up every good deal members offered and then trying to resale the next day.

The rule was made to promote INGO as a community, not as a "Craigslist or Ebay or Gunbroker".

Just my .02 and we all know what that is worth.

I understand what you are saying Big John but I jsut sold a few things here this week. Of the three items, two were purchased by "newbs". I have listed items for sale here at least 15 times and I will tell you that this site has been miserable for me selling stuff. Almost every time has resulted in a newb buying the item. You are right about the community aspect but the newbs bring some sort of value too!

Some people learn of the site and are in the market for firearms, but just don't have time to be active on forums.

Looks like a sweet rifle. Let's get the thread back on track

Congrats man, I don't think you did anything wrong. How do you like that grip? I've been thinking about it for my AR build.

Thanks guys! Big John, I completely understand where you're coming from, but I couldn't let this deal go because I was 10 posts short at the time. Also, like i said, I didn't want to go behave like a troll and make 10 useless posts just because I wanted to participate in a thread.

Thanks guys! Heading to the range in a bit

I love the way it feels (thought a bit short if you have bigger hands), but I've never been a huge fan of the look of a front grip on an AR15. I'll probably keep it on anyways.

I've got girly hands, so I'm good to go.
