I joined over 1 year ago & only have like 15 posts. I came here while researching for my build. Info I received helped me make some decisions.
I have taken part in discussions when I felt I had something to add to the conversation, not because of the discount. But with many others of more experience/knowledge, I usually learn from rather than contribute to posts from others.

Anyone ever notice the number of posters that seem to get ten posts or so and then just disappear or quit posting? I wonder what happens to all of them? Do you think they just lost interest or were they justing getting their ticket punched for a 10% discount? Inquiring minds .......inquire.  Greg I think the 10% idea for ten posts from BHW was a good one. Raising the post count or dropping the promotion could have a negative effect in the long run. Some would go away and some would give a total of 30 posts of BS responses that would make the forum less valuable. Being new to owning an AR after shooting one in the military for 20 plus years, I won't have much to add to a forum at first. Since I haven't ordered a barrel yet, the 10% gets me interested. It could lead to me being a customer for life. |

The ten off is a nice thing to offer. I do not post on any other forums. I usually read until i get what I am looking for and then move on. I am not an ar expert so I do not have a whole lot to add to the questions that people have but i am always up for learning new things. I was going to build a 7.62x40WT but after finding BHW I decided to build a 6x45. It is great to have a place to get some questions answered

Alls I know is that in my case, I've just been swamped at work for the last several months. Haven't had time to shoot let alone post.  Even when time is free, I'm more of a reader than a talker. Like the Tao 56 says " 知者不言，言者不知＂ (Those who know don't speak, those who speak don't know.). (Before anyone chews off my head, I don't mean any of you guys at all. It's a quote from the Tao, nothing more.) |

I think a lot of it has to do with the low activity on this board.
Not enough post per day to keep people interested. I have been on a couple of other boards that were the same.

The membership is not huge on here and I think postings are low because most guys are shooters and look to BHW to fill that need. Lots of guys don't trot out their documented results and oddly enough I read about BHW barrel performance all over the net and shooters thoughts on the much more than on here. Time is very valuable for many guys and better to spend it with the family given a choice between the two or with luck the family AND the range. Greg |

Of course the Internet flies in the face of that and if the knowledgeable people didn't share the wheel would get reinvented daily. Even the old Chinese guys passed on their wisdom somehow though they were not above letting the student learn the path with nudging along the way. Greg |

I have not picked up a BHW barrel yet, I am doing more learning than posting here. Anyway, I do enough to make an a$$ out of myself over on the 68forums I dont need to muddy this place up.
I am thinking a 6x68 or 6x45 will be my next build....

Now I admit some of started when dirt was brand new but we still started at square one. 68 Forums are good people over there and I like the guys. This is where BHW comes into its own so jump in.

Dies and bushings are on their way. Shell holders are on back order as well as a bolt. I really am looking for an ARP super bolt, but no luck so far. |

It won't be a super bolt, but I have been using one of their 6.8 bolts for 2 years of hard use without any problems. |
