When listing an AR on ODT, why would you list it as a M16?

[cmshoot]

I recently got a F-U from a member for doing just that. If it doesn’t have a tax stamp it's not a M16. He just joined my ignore list.

Another member once questioned my intelligence and suggested I ought to know that based upon the price. I agree that is misleading title, and against the Rules, but it happens rather frequently.

Should we click on the report function as the item has a misleading title?

You’re welcome to, but I can’t say that the Staff would consider “M16” as a misleading title. It means different things to different folks. Next thing would be having to edit listings for “Glock clips”.

If it were a select-fire, it would have an “NFA” or “Class III” tag attached.

What I was referring to is someone that has a BCM upper receiver assembly on an Anderson lower receiver, and titles it something like “BCM AR”.

Not to hijack this thread, but I see the initials referenced within it, so is BCM Bravo Company Manufacturing or is BCM Bear Creek Manufacturing ? I understand there is quite a bit of quality difference. Just asking for clarity. Thanks.

Bear creek is BCA.

Tomato, to-mato. I wouldn’t get so worked up. It’s just semantics and/or a lack of knowledge. Frustrating, yes, but who really cares. Some people are stupid.

Close as I can get to M16

not an M16!

Probably trying to fool someone else after being fooled themselves. Or they're just really really into the 'jus as gud' mentality

I wonder if there’s a guy on the HRF (home remodeling forum) that started a thread complaining about people calling their wallboard “Sheetrock”.

The nerve of those people…

It's theirs.
They can call it whatever they like.
Caveat emptor.
