As for myself I've used a FA multiple times both in & out of the Corps.


In both recruit training and his combat school, no rifle my son saw had iron sights: only red dot. Not only did the USMC never teach the use of iron sights, but none were present on the weapons. Times have changed.

I went with the Aero Precision M4E1 Enhanced upper to fit the Aero Lower. Decided to go with FDE color scheme...just because I don't have that color.


That's a great upper...you will not be disappointed Smile

Sometimes a good rifle but "tap" to the ground works as well. I wish my Tavor had a forward assist!

If you could have a button on the side of your receiver that could save your life, why not?

Have had to use it after a malfunction, after debarking from a CH47 in a dustfield and getting engaged.

I was glad it was there.

Mortaring an ar is a good way to inadvertently catch a round to the head, and is not in the best practices book.

I reflexively touch my FA after chambering a round. It's a comforting habit.

"The designer of the gun had clearly not been instructed to beat about the bush. 'Make it evil,' he'd been told. 'Make it totally clear that this gun has a right end and a wrong end. Make it totally clear to anyone standing at the wrong end that things are going badly for them. If that means sticking all sort of spikes and prongs and blackened bits all over it then so be it. This is not a gun for hanging over the fireplace or sticking in the umbrella stand, it is a gun for going out and making people miserable with." -Douglas Adams

“It is just as difficult and dangerous to try to free a people that wants to remain servile as it is to try to enslave a people that wants to remain free."
-Niccolo Machiavelli

The trouble with fighting for human freedom is that one spends most of one's time defending scoundrels. For it is against scoundrels that oppressive laws are first aimed, and oppression must be stopped at the beginning if it is to be stopped at all. -Mencken
