Can anyone recommend a good friendly ar thread such as the glock forum? Possibly even one that has an mobile app?? Thanks guys!
I have found reliable information on www.ar15.com. Lots of educated information, tips and tricks. THIS IS NOT AN ENDORSEMENT OF THEIR SITE.
Not sure about friendly tho...very opinionated and boderline arrogant has been my experience there...depending on which manufactures firearm you own...but hey, just my 2 cents. Some good information can be gleaned from the site...I would lurk to get a feel for the mood. Not sure about the App, I'm not a smart phone user...nor do I pretend to be !!
M4carbine.net. This is also not an endorsement. That site has taught me a lot about the platform. A LOT. As Happysniper1 mentioned, AR15.com has a wealth of information as well. The boards are very different but I find both useful.
Yep, and that's what we are trying hard to keep outta here, too! But seriously, dig around those sites, lots of useful information.
IT HAS COME TO MY ATTENTION That a Member incorrectly interpreted my quoting him as a nudge for him being against the rules, in this thread. I have been in contact with that Member, whose input I quoted because I agree with his statement in its entirety. It is my hope that he would repost what he had originally posted, because his statement made a lot of sense. Thank you.
