Agreed.

Personal peeve: people adding EXTENDED rails to their rifles (especially guns designed with sufficient rails to start).

I'm at a point where I like an AR to have handguards. For the young lads reading this: a handguard use to be a common fixture in the firearms world...it resided where your 4# 67 slot 14" long quad rail now hangs.

Fighting rifle needs five things:

Flip up iron sights;
Optic (selected for mission);
White light;
2pt Sling;
Ammo.

If you're hanging more off your rifle or think you need a 12" quad rail on a 16" barreled 556 carbine...you need to sort out your priorities. Mind you, XBOX isn't real life.

ETA: take an intense two or three day class, and you'll be scuttling the extraneous mall ninja rubbish.
