If you have a Parker Hale repro musket thing based on an old Enfield is it a "pretendy" musket???

I too would like to see an AR forum.

Seeing as it is easily the fastest growing section of our shooting community.

Csr shooter is a site dedicated to that one Comp - and although dominated by ARs its is not what the the Op is looking for.

I too agree that the use of the word "pretendy" is unhelpful. Indeed, if it were used by a non mod, I would go so far as to say it is trolling - making a post one knows will cause controvosy. Even after the term was challenged it is still being used - I am not sure what Dromia gets out of using the term when it is not needed and not welcomed by so many.

Surely a 'Modern Sporting Rifle' sub-section under the 'Everything Shooting' section isn't exactly controversial? wtf

I must admit I was somewhat puzzled by the comment made on the thread yesterday where someone asked for AR recommendations, a couple of people offered them, (without making derogatory comments about other makers) and it was jumped all over?? 5mith

Look there's already a UK AR15 forum out there which could do with a little support after the CSR shooters left to set up their own site.

http://www.ar15.com/forums/f_8/5_United-Kingdom.html

It doesn't cost to register and the moderator is an American AR15 shooter who understands we can't have s/a rifle so none of that pretendy nonsense there.

I don't understand how we have a "Military & Historic Rifles" section which is dedicated to pre-1945 actions yet there isn't a modern day equivalent? Everything is just bundled in with "Fullbore Rifles"?

I don't think that a dedicated AR-15 fora is the answer, but perhaps modern straight pull / manual action would be a good start? This would include AK's, Dragunov, AR's, M1 Carbines (no bias from myself at all on this one :) ), Steyr AUG's and so on. Could there be an opportunity for non-biased administrator/moderator for this (i.e. someone who is not opposed to such firearms)?

There is no bias on this forum from the admins, if that is what people think then I suggest that they read the threads again, it has been explained why the word in question was used, if people do not agree with that explanation then I am not sure we can ever see the same side of the coin.

We do have two sub forums that are under utilised - FB-UK Cast Boolit Summer League and as much as it pains me, S-Class. If Christel was looking at a re org to introduce new sub forums then these could be a starting point...
