Cybin,
And the list ends just about there with the possible exception of Tactical Forums. That one has gained lots of mouth breathers over the past year or so though. 10-8 is excellent…
10-8 and that would be about it.

Yes 10-8 is really great. M4C is quickly becoming fantastic. Great move Grant. I like it because unlike 10-8, I can actually provide useful info to some here.
What about TheHighRoad and LightFighter?
Any threads in particular that are must reads? I can put on waders if core information is good.
Thanks again:D
I would like to take credit for M4C, but I cannot. It was a group effort and more importantly, the idea was pushed by manufacturers that were tired of the BS they experienced on other forums.
THR is a pretty good forum, but I don’t get over there much. I have never spent any time on the LF forums so I cannot comment.
Enjoy M4C now while it is still small! The ad campaign is about to take off and this place will be a zoo. ![]()

Maybe a better question would be, “Who should I pay attention to in the other forums?” You know the DocGKRs of the net.
I think a lot of the quality posters (like KevinB & Pat Rogers) post on several different forums. So you can hang out at several places and will most likely catch some of their posts.
I enjoy reading Ken Good’s posts, along with Jeff Gonzales (sp?), but then again I am Ex-Navy and am biased towards a fellow squid. ![]()

Other than the usual suspects who post here, basicload is tops followed closely by rgrgordo, Sneaky SF Dude and Jeff White. These guys are Army but I don’t hold that against them. Harv is almost converted; he has been around Pat enough.
I have the same name on every forum I belong to. 1911 forum, AK forum, Iron Trybe, Badlands, Lightfighter. I post on some and sit and listen on others. The sitting and listening part is why I’m not a member of 10-8. I don’t feel as though I could bring a whole lot to it, but I know a couple of guys that post.
My favorite forum is the M16 forum on uzitalk.com Most posters there know what they’re talking about, don’t have inflated egos and don’t display abrasive personalities. It’s probably the highest signal to noise technical forum on M16s that I know of. It’s low traffic, but it makes up for that with very high quality.
I usually just read 10-8, seldon logging on unless I have something specific to contribute (which is rare). I will also poke around on GlockTalk.com but I’m careful over there for obvious reasons. I do spend quite a bit of time over @ www.akforum.net. I like that place, good group of guys and good info for all things AK.
For non-firearms related forums I can be found on http://forums.asp.net during business hours.

I drool there the most. I’ve never posted, just stare and try to learn anything I can about my favorite handgun, the 1911.
See my sigline, haha.
I also like this board quite a bit so far. It seems to me like what the “other” board used to be, and isn’t quite as intense as 10-8. Perfect compromise for me.
I like THR quite a bit but it sometimes seems a bit aimless.
Well, I spend a ton of my time over at www.handgunforum.net ![]()
Although, I’m spending more and more of my time at this site lurking around and over at AR15.com… I’ve been bitten by the AR bug…bad! :eek:
Howdy,
I still go to the Arfcom forum, but only the AR16/M16 Retro Forum and Hometown (Va.) sections.
Fortunately the Retro forum seems to be only used by serious folks and is one of the few places with really good info on retro builds.
The retroblackrifle.com site has a forum, but right now it is under utilized.
I want to do an XM177E2 build so there is really no other place to go than Arfcom for good discussion and hints on making an A1 lower.
Cheers,
Zip
The DARK side! Mooohhahahahahah!

Glock Talk
SVT Performance (mustang/car forum)

…ARFCOM…
don’t ban me…lol j/k
i believe knowledge is wealth and so therefore i use it
Ban him! Just kidding. The announcements in the ammo section are really good over there. I wish my hometown form got more traffic. The Glock section at ARF is ok. HotRod hangs out there. Glock talk reminds me of Harmony Central’s (musicians forum) boards, if you can stand a bunch of dorks posting every off topic in you can think of, then you MIGHT be able to find something useful.
