Tell us about some of these fist fights.

That would be dangerous.

We have a guest friend from Charlotte who came in last night for the weekend, and we were discussing this. I used to wear my official MAGA hat ordered directly from the Trump campaign website in Charlotte all the time, and it got reactions there since that is a liberal little podunk inbred hillbilly redneck peckerwood sister fukking pussy town, but they got nothing on NYC. I wear it around town up here and the reactions are hilarious. They don't hold back up here. I should post pics.

I read somewhere a few years ago that PMAGs were having some seating problems with BCM lowers. Not sure if that was corroborated or not. Haven't had any problems in mine.

Not sure I can take any more dual stories after reading about women, dogs and socks

Anyone else a USAA member that got notified about getting a new card because of a security issue on their side?

Is this a trick question? Is there supposed to be something unusual going on there for NYC?

This jade struck/Taran stuff is getting juicy.

Such bull****. it's probably an unpopular opinion but it's his fault for hiring someone that acts like that. It's 2020 I've got zero sympathy for any guy that gets himself into a situation like this.

There's a pretty interesting thread on arfcom from a guy thatwas a main sales rep for DPMS for quite a few years.Now that Cerberus or whatever has shut them and Bushmaster down, he's doing a Q&A. Nothing too crazy as far as truth bombs or anything, but he confirms most all of the major AR brands all buy parts from each other and mentioned BCM specifically has bought quite a few parts from them over the years.Mentioned DD as being one that probably uses more of their own. I think most of us already knew a lot of parts were sourced from the same companies and used in all sorts of various brands, and obviously quality control, warranty, customer service, etc. are what really create separation and value over others.

Kind of a funny trivia fact, apparently the owner of DPMS chose a panther as their logo because he thought it looked cool and that a panther could eat a horse a la Colt.

I would agree, I don't know of any company that does 100% in house. That being said, there are still standards that need to be kept. I was sent a link to TOS where a guy worked for DPMS and commented they had at one time supplied parts to almost everyone including BCM. Now, the less than intelligent groups will take that info and say BCM=DPMS. That is simply not true, not only was the comment made that it was in the past, but there was no mention of what parts. DPMS made LPKs which were very heavily used in the industry, and I would be stunned if the majority of companies hadn't used at least some of those LPK components at some point. I think we all know that BCM was not satisfied with the level of quality they were getting, and moved to get their own castings created. You can tell if you have real BCM pieces as they are all clearly marked

I'll tell a quick story here without violating any NDAs about being in an AR15 manufacturers shop, and everything was in boxes. The individual pieces like triggers, safety, discos, springs etc came in large boxes filled with thousands of parts all oily and ready for use. Each box held a large bag so the oil wouldn't leak out, and each held a large amount of the same parts. The assemblers would take a part, drop it in, and if it doesn't fit or feel right, they would just toss it back and grab another one. Tolerance stacking wasn't an issue, and neither was QC, because they had a massive amount of pieces to grab, and one would almost always work if the first didn't.

The above company did the same thing with receivers (upper and lower), but each receiver was vetted first by a person who did a QC check for putting, machine marks, anodizing etc. This was done on a white background with very good lighting to show off any flaws. If the receiver failed visual QC, it was put in a reject box. The items which failed visual or functional QC were tallied up at a certain point, and were returned to the vendor to get credit towards the next purchase. If the QC level hit a certain point, this manufacturer would cease dealing with that supplier. The items made in house went through the same QC checks (plus the ones done during mfg), with the end goal of having a quality weapon at the end.

The reason I bring this up is that we continually see people say that all AR15s are the same and that costs don't matter. However, the end cost DOES matter. Chrome lining matters on barrels. MPI and proof testing matters (I know there are arguments to this), correct fasteners matter and the list goes on and on. Each of these things has a cost. Those costs add up.

In the case of ZRODELTA, their ability to run a machine shop allows them to make and sell parts cheaper than companies which do not actually machine anything. Mega Arms was another great example of a shop which did this. All of this is just something to think about. As already posted, I wouldn't discount these guys if they are an offshoot of the same company. If not, all bets are off.

Let's start with a palate cleanser. Who can tell what is going on here?

So, a few of us locals did watch the whole 'big game' and had a little wager board setup for commercials, so I watched everything.

These are my favorites

**** me I just read my email from 3:40 PM saying the LMT Enhanced BCG was back in stock at Primary Arms, and they even have a 12% off coupon again...already OOS.

Someone has the semi auto enhanced carriers in stock. I think LMT directly.
