Getting everything from magpul, why the heck did they decide to have a FDE instead of a regular tan.
Oh well, more money for magpul  |
As much as it's nice to hear about your post office failed deliveries, when you're going to go get your stuff or what relative is best to have call in a complaint...it'd be nice to keep this thread to grounded discussion of GBBR's. Thanks in advance.
Ideally this thread would be factual, detailed comments/descriptions and practical field use reports from guys that are actively using them.
Most valuable are in-hand owner's reports and personal comments related to:
1. Are they usable in the field (indoor/outdoor)?
- so far field reports (thanks Marcia for the latest!) are ok-to-good
2. Would you ditch everything else and use these exclusively?
- minority say yes
- majority say no, they'll still keep their AEG/PTWs
3. For you...is it a fun-gun, wall hanger or go-to rifle when it's game time?
- fun-gun and game gun
HOWEVER...Grounded, well thought out comments from guys with a lot of field experience of why they won't go to them or are still on the fence are very much appreciated as well, and offer valuable counterpoints (i.e. they temper the "OMG, these things must be the shit and I'z gotta get one NOW!")
Perhaps this thread should be expanded a bit (or maybe it should be another thread?) to a distilled..."what mods worked/didn't work on a given system" for the guys here? There's a crap load of stuff already written up on other forums...but it's watered down with a lot of noob-ish repeat questions and so-so reports back of how the mods/fixes actually worked out.
I'd be up for creating a new thread and keeping the first couple of posts updated with summary stuff if people think that's a good idea. From the perspective of a new guy trying to read up on GBBRs, already this thread is too long to read through from the beginning (not bad, but it's getting there). Maybe I'll go back to the first post and edit in select things.
I am NOT an expert at this stuff, it's just a really neat aspect of this hobby...there are obviously others who have been neck deep in this already for a while. Prying out great info from them is like striking gold for guys diving into these things. I'd much rather know what I'm getting into if I'm thinking of getting an AGM/Ino/WE/G&P/ACM/JG/etc... before I plunk down $400-2000, so hopefully these types of good discussions and accumulation of info can put some value into forum.
Thanks guys,
Tys
