So... I know a lot of us swap parts on black guns like our underware (if under 25 replace underware with the word girlfriend/play thing/ONS etc as it's easier for some to relate too)...

Got any spare parts? Not just a milk crate full of magpul or other snap and click extra bits but things once removed are pretty much permanent?... Just put the dremel to my Norc and it crossed my mind for a thread idea...


 
Not that I want to tell others what to do, but I don't swap parts much on my guns, so I really can't relate to this.

I'm confused as to why others are swapping parts a lot. That's a total waste of time and money.

If you own a home, and you want to change it, you start by drawing up the plans for the completed version, then you renovate according to the plan. Otherwise you're just ####ing around.

If you want to get strong, you get yourself a training program and you work the program, and you don't just #### around trying to fluke success.

If you want to learn to play the guitar, you go get a pro to give you lessons, you work through the exercises,and a year or two later, you're a guitarist.

I don't mean to slam this thread because I guess it could be pretty entertaining...but it also kind of reinforces a key mistake a lot of people make.

Plan the work, work the plan. Start with an end goal. Build your equipment up to help you reach your goal.

It's faster, cheaper, and better.

I find what you said embodies the concept of this thread... You don't willy nilly take a cutoff wheel to anything unless you have an end goal... Swapping a FFR for a KM and other such things are like changing rims on your car from 17's to 18's... Milling receivers, axing off fixed sights, lobbing barrels, unitizing parts... That gets the old noodle smokin especially because you need to think a bit further ahead as most alterations that require removing metal are rather permanent...
 
Yeah, fair enough.

If you buy an AR with a fixed FSB and decide to chop it because a particular rifle has changed roles for you, that's cool.

I guess I just get tired of people who don't know what they're doing, putting bipods and c-mores and acogs and lasers foregrips and folding stock adapters on their SBRs, then swapping it all out for a different ####ton of random accessories with no clear plan.


But that probably doesn't move this thread forward much.

As you were.
