I don't know the full details, but some shit has gone down over the last week around Karl/InRange and AR15.com & Brownells.
Karl did some woke shit, Arfcom went full boomer and it turned into a bitch-slapping fight.
Caught in the middle is Ian McCollum and Forgotten Weapons. Anyone whos followed Ian knows he stepped away from InRange and Karl a while back, allegedly for time issues.
The fallout from this is the What Whould Stoner Do rifle that was conceived by Ian and Karl as a InRange project, the lower was made by KE Arms and it was sold by Brownells. After the bitchslaps and harsh words were over, brownells who owns arfcom have decided to stop carrying the WWSD rifle and are selling out stock at 30% off.
Meanwhile you have Karl going full "brownells supports racism and transfobia" while Ian is quietly putting out announcements that hes staying the fuck away from all this, and 30% off is a great deal on a good rifle build.
Remember to vet your friends ans business partners, they might fuck you down the line.
And now Karl and Sinistral is throwing shit around a discord accusing Ian of being basically a nazi for working with Larry Vickers, and the Azov book debacle. Funny how Azov suddenly became nazis again.
God I wish you were lying
Can you tl:Dr why either of these are bad to lefties? I don't keep up with gun community drama. I just want to see people shoot and talk about cool guns.
I don't know what the beef with LV is, he's accusing Ian of siding with him when he went full "kill the n-words with hard R". Guessing LV having respect for the Rhodesians is bad maybe, comes back to the Rhodie FAL video I think.
and the Azov thing is funny, basically a guy who was in Azov was selling his book literally months before the invasion. When Headstamp Publishing announced they were going to be publishing it to give the world a first hand account of the war to that point, people freaked about him being a known nazi and Azov being nazis, this was apparently unknown to Ian and Headstamp, and they pulled it quickly.
A few months later Russia invades, and we get the whitewashing of Azov and nazis in Ukraine, now its all Russian propaganda and the funny symbols on their uniforms have nothing to do with anything.
It's just the blatant hypocrisy, and the fact that had the announcement come barely half a year later the same people would have had Ukrainian flags in their twitter and facebook and bought thousands of copies.
Rhodesia was pretty based.
The book thing is dumb. People being over sensitive pansy asses as always. I hate everything.
Thanks for the info.
Kinda failed on the whole tl:dr thing though. And Rhodesia was based as fuck and even the Zimbabweans want to go back.
