i saw the first post and two replies, but then went to bed, so missed it all

Phat Wain of Chinese Parts is actually a mate of mine and I was ever so offended for him.

And mine, first up told him that his comment was rude and obnoxious and slanderous.

Give me a précis please. I don’t have access to his promotional platform.

In a Facebook group the owner of Lantac posted a comment in response to the simple question 'do you have any plans for a .22WMR AR. His response was rather terse and included some choice remarks about Northwest Custom Parts and another shooter who wasn't involved in conversation in the thread.

Callum has since posted a 'video response' to these remarks as the shooter in question is a friend.

I thought you called him out, like in the old west...

Also, I was being ironic.

One person called stupid, another was nicknamed crap magnet. Callum made a whole 10 minutes about how this was ruining shooting.

As much as we sometimes disagree with the ethos or thoughts of fellow shooters and/or vendors/manufacturers it strikes me as rather dim to place disparaging remarks about them in the public domain. The shooting community needs to be sticking together, not bickering and passing snide remarks back and forth. It hardly smacks of unity does it, and no doubt, such people will be the first to shout and scream when the next class of firearm is moved to S5 and it is not a matter of if, it is when it happens.

.. and yes, I will use that word, stupid, stupid, stupid.

I suppose you could say that Lantac has had a sort of Ratner moment !

Callum Long Collins is a director of GunroomTV and Magload, he should take his own advice before spouting off unsubstantiated claims in an effort to discredit a competing company.
