NEW MEMBERS: Stop in and say hello!

[ricky]

Just found the site recently and really like the layout. Been a pistol shooter and training for personal defense for 20 years but I am new to the AR platform. I picked up a cheap Oly carbine that had some issues and intended to fix it and re-sell pretty quick but along the way I got the dreaded BRD. The receivers are about all that is left from that rifle. I just got a new unfired Colt 6721 upper in a trade and haven't decided if I want to trade it off for what I really want or try some of that Colt coolaid. I am here to learn, to help, and to share. Thanks for having me.

Welcome to Weapon Evolution Ricky.

[zero7one]

Ricky - Welcom to WEVO. You are definately in the right place to learn the in's and out's of your AR.

[John Hwang]

Greetings everyone, I'm glad to be a new member of a group of like minded people. By like minded people, I mean people who are bitter clingers to God and guns, who love this great country, who value its history, who honor all those who serve and protect us, who cherish and promote family values. I come to these forums to glean information and to learn from you all and occasionally share my 2 cents.

Mike, savoy5


Couldn't have said that better myself.

[Ryan 24]

I've been lurking on the site for awhile now, I figured now would be a good time to join and introduce myself.
I'm ex-Army from the "Clinton Era" and that was about as far as the extent of my training went, but this past January I finally purchased an AR and reignited my passion for firearms.
There has been a monumental leap in training and tactics as compared to over 15 years ago when I was taught, I want to shake of the rust and hopefully relearn some new things.
I have been working in the Sewn Nylon Gear industry for almost 11 years now and since the "New Ideas" of training and tactics has changed, and it seems like it is always evolving, that gear will always evolve and change with it too.

[zero7one]

Welcome Ryan and thanks for your "Clinton-era" service.

Welcome aboard Ryan. I'm a "Clinton-era" Army guy also. LOL.

[Grrrr]

New guy here......wasn't sure where this was supposed to go so I stuck it here. I stumbled across this place a few days ago and just wanted to say hello.

[Paulo_Santos]

Welcome aboard.

[Quib]

Grrrr,

I moved your intro post into this thread.

Welcome to Weapon Evolution.

[Denver45]

HI All,

FNG here. I live in the Denver metro area and recently decided that I don't shoot enough and need to improve my skill set as I consider firearm ownership to be a huge responsibility and not to be taken lightly. I am taking a defensive pistol course in December with my wife followed by a CCW application for both of us just to get the ball rolling. I also decided that I needed an AR and some training to boot as well as some competitive shooting to make spending the money on rounds that much easier.

Once i decided that an AR was in my future I started looking for all credible information I could find and then I found Wevo. I really appreciate the no-nonsense approach you guys take on this forum, the obvious experience of it's members and the lack of bickering about who's AR is better and why someone else doesn't know what they are talking about. It is very refreshing to say the least.

I especially appreciate seeing threads from guys who have been shooting for a long time still talking about "hard use" and "durability" and instead of just assuming, actually building what is talked about and putting it through the paces. You can't find a better approach to real world data nor put a price on it unless you have a ton of money and free time to do that yourself. [:D]

I will have a lot of questions for a while and hope to contribute in a positive fashion on Wevo someday but I promise you won't find me offering opinions on subjects I know nothing about. In the meantime I want to thank everyone who has already been kind enough to point me in the right direction on my upcoming build. I promise to post plenty of range reports, new AR build porn as it happens and drool over all the other beautiful toys I see posted.

Hello All, I found this web site when I was googling for some troubleshooting tips on my latest AR build. I found some great information and then I decided that this is a great place.
Thanks for all the illumination.

Keith here from upstate NY, about 30 miles south of Utica NY. Just bought my first AR-15, a Stag Arms model 3, plan to add the Daniels Defense Omega 7 grip to it. Saw the review and instal guide here and was convinced it is the way to go.
anyway good to be here :)

Welcome to Weapon Evolution Keith!

[LanceCriminal]

Hello All,
Name's David, stumbled across this forum while planning my SPR build. Hopefully my post in the "explain your setup" thread will be approved soon. I just assembled my first upper receiver, and will likely be doing this more often. Building a dedicated stripped lower for my new Mk12 Mod 0 inspired upper will be the next step. I spent 4 years in the Marines as an 8152/0311, did guard duty but got to spend plenty of ammunition training on MP-5's, M4s, M9s, M16A2s, and the M1014. Also got to do the MP-5 armorers course at the Sterling, VA facility and was taught by none other than Bob Schultz. I love to shoot, and would love to find out if anyone up here in the Northern Virginia area has anywhere they shoot outdoors at ranges beyond 100 yards, ie private land or such. I'm also looking forward to diving into reloading, for if I get a 6.5 Grendel upper and for my 6.5 Swede Mauser.

[Paulo_Santos]

Welcome Board guys.

[Quib]

Welcome David!

[STARIK]

Hello, all
I am registered for some time on the forum and I take advantage of the new year to appear. I’m French, sorry if my english is of average quality.. I possess an SDI AR15 (barrel 10.3”) as well as the other weapons (Benelli M4 Entry, SIG P226). I am impressed by the quality of Thread as well as by haughtiness photos which I can see.

Happy New Year 2011

[Quib]

Welcome STARIK!

[anto]

Migrated here from arfcom. Although I still visit them, I feel that there's much better content & people here compared to them. Also on M4carbine. Loving it so far!

[Quib]

Welcome anto!

[facemate]

I ran across this forum about a month ago and it is the FIRST and only forum I belong to ! The site is informative, professional and entertaining. I am a Marine and a gun aficionado ( 5 syllable word there) and entertain myself with all things firearm related which I share with friends. I'm the gun guy at work which is both good and bad! I work in the aviation field.

[Paulo_Santos]

Welcome aboard guys.

[Quib]

Welcome to Weapon Evolution Facemate.

Aviation here as well.

[Rodman24]

Well, I've been a member here for a couple of months but haven't chimed in. I've never been one to post on forums for fear of starting a fight [BD] But I'm pretty sure the folks here at WEVO aren't the kind that get bent out of shape simply because you have a differing opinion. So far all I've seen is a good group who are interested in hearing honest opinions - differing views and perspectives being welcomed.

So I'll try to contribute. Please keep in mind that I'm not LEO or military. All I can do is give my sincere evaluation of how things work for me. I'm not ashamed to admit when I do something stupid. The problem is that when I'm being stupid, I may not know it. So please tell me when you think I'm making a mistake.

I've always been a handgun guy. I've also always been left eye dominant, so I never really liked rifles. Well I sucked it up and started shooting lefty. It was weird at first but I made the adjustment. I only recently got bit by the AR bug (about 2 years ago). I started off with a DD M4v2. It looks a bit different now.

I'm finishing up a 6.5 Grendel build. Before you chastise me for being stupid by not building a 6.8, please note that it will likely be my next build. I did research the 6.5 vs 6.8, and in the end I determined that the 6.5 guys love them, and there's no convincing the 6.8 guys that a 6.5 is better. So why not have both? Then I'll decide for myself.

Anyway...glad to be on board. PM me if you want. I'll try to post some information on my build in the appropriate thread.

[AdamCarter]

Steve here. Just joined yesterday. I gotta confess I'm just a civvie. Never had the opportunity to serve in the military, or as a LEO. My hat's off to those here who have served, or are now serving. Have had an interest in firearms ever since I was in a hold-up on the job as a grocery clerk in San Diego back in 1987. Had a S&W 686 stuck in my face for the 2 mins(longest couple of minutes in my life!) it took the armed assailant to rob 8 registers, taking me along to open each one.
I'm living in NorCal now, and found out 2 years ago we here in the PRK can own ARs if configured 'legally'. So now I own an AR! Although I belong to a few other weapons sites, WEVO is incredibly well put together. I wish I had known about y'all two years ago when I started my build. This is definitely the go-to site for weapons info. I'll be here often. Here and at Calguns...'cause I live in Cali;(.

Hey Guys:

New to the site, stumbled across it one night and ended up reading for an hour+. I have to say, this is one of the most informative, no BS websites I've found in a loong time. I gotta give props to Quib for his outstanding tutorials. That is some of the best info I have ever picked up on-line.

Look forward to hanging out with you guys and sharing ideas, especially concerning nylon gear rigging, repair, or do-it-yourself projects.

[David14]

Hello. Balding civilian with an evil black rifle habit here.

Started working on my first AR last year... Don't foresee ever stopping...
Found a few posts on WEVO through some google searching and fell in love pretty quickly.

[Denver45]

Does this mean I'm no longer the newbie now? I mean on the forum. I have a long way to go with the AR before I'll start thinking I might know something. [:D]

Welcome everyone! This site is top notch. Great questions and great answers everywhere you look.

Hello all. First post, wanted to introduce myself. I am on a few other forums and have heard good things about this one, so I thought I should join. Look forward to learning as much as I can. Thanks in advance.

My name is Andrew.

I'm just a college student with a passion for firearms and their function.
I am in the process of building an AR-15 from the lower receiver on up, it is quite fun to learn how it works and I am hoping that I don't contract Black Rifle Disease in the process, but I probably will like so many others.

[Cannon Fodder]

Hey scholarly armorers :) Or armed scholars...

I don't usually participate in forums, but I like the group here. I've seen pretty much every staff member here on other forums, and I figured I'd follow the fountain back to the source. Dunno if I have much to contribute to this group, given that my experience is almost completely military (Active Duty Army, and dug in like a tick). Within just the last year, I've began to branch out into the civilian personal defense world, and am enjoying being able to experiment on my own terms.

In terms of non-issued weapons, I own an XDm .40 which I very much enjoy. I'm just now building my first AR-15, and am looking at picking up a .38 or .357 revolver for Mrs. Cannon Fodder. I'm also considering purchasing a smaller CCW, perhaps a Ruger LCP.

Hi. Learned of this place from M4Carbine.net

You sure hid it well enough. LOL.

I usually don't reveal much about myself on the internet.

I will just say I am ex law enforcement. My claim to fame was to convince my department to write their procurement specifications so that a top tier manufacturer like Colt would get their AR15 order, instead of a bottom tier manufacturer.

Other than that, I believe in pursuing the best quality in firearms, and that's why I joined this site and M4Carbine.net.

Hey you savages,

I've been lurking quite some time. My name is Brit, I'm an EMT from the Texas Hill Country.

[doubleactiononly]

I know that I have been a member for a bit now. And have made several posts before this one. Just wanting to say hello and take my hat off to the staff and some of the senior members here. It is quite obvious that you guys walk the walk, as it is a part of your daily duties in your "real world" professions to do so, and how refreshing it is to know that and see that in your work here. The advice and critiques here are very sound and can be assured that its coming from first hand, real life experience and wisdom, not just some lame regurgitation of the same ol' same ol' that some misinformed individual read somewhere and decided to take it as his own personal experience and opinion.
I literally re-read some threads and pick up on things that I missed before. The staff here is truly dedicated to this lifestyle and very well rounded. I cant even imagine the combined years of experience you all have together.
Anyway, Im just your average joe who is a firearms enthusiast and has been all my life. And as of late, I have chosen the AR-15 platform for my primary defensive system. It feels good to know that a place like Weapons Evolution is around so I can lurk and soak up some good down to earth references for the system and a lot of other systems as well.
Anyway, back to lurking. Just wanted to say thank you for all your time and effort to bring a forum like this to the public.

[Quib]

Welcome DAO.

[BravoHotel]

Howdy everyone-

I'm going to consider myself "new" here as well. Been registered since Jan 2010 but as you can see I have a low post count (need to improve that and stop lurking).

Get out and shoot this weekend!

[Eric]

DOA, thanks for the kind words about the forum. The username reminds me of the DAO Beretta that I was issued at one time.
BH, glad to have you joining us.

Long time gun supporter and huge forum nerd.

I found this site by checking out Stickman's Flickr Page. I heard WE was looking for some wallpapers and I wanted to throw some of mine in the pile. But the more I look around, the more I like it here.

I look forward to learning and talking to you gents.

[greencobra]

Hello all, lurking over here for a few days and decided to join the group. Have shot for years but I'm new to tactical weapons and the information here is mind blowing. When you're as new to the disipline as I am, it's best to sit back and learn before opening your mouth. Soon I hope to be a regular participant of the forum with something to add.

[Quib]

Welcome to Weapon Evolution.

[crazyp8ntball]

Hi all. I'm a LEO from CA and have been shooting for many years now, but being fairly young and with a young family I don't have the money to waste on stuff that I'm not going to use or like. I joined recently after looking at a lot of the postings and seeing some very insightful questions, comments and reviews. Thanks to all of the staff and members for making this a quality website and resource.

[nobodyspecial]

I am nobodyspecial. I found Weapon Evolution in my quest to find a firearms site that is more about firearms and less about the stupidity that plagues other popular AR-15 sites. I have been to Iraq twice, and am just looking for a place with some good info, as I am always trying to increase my knowledge base.

[Quib]

Welcome to Weapon Evolution.

[PPD812]

I've been lurking and reading for a few weeks now as I put a patrol rifle together. Lot's of good info in here, and the pics are awsome. 16 year LEO, but fairly new to the AR platform.

[MILEO440]

I signed up a while ago and have been creeping around on here... I suppose I will put a post up on this thread finally... I have been into firearms my whole life, My father started me off early in life. I have 2.5 years in as a LEO in West Michigan. I am 25 years old and have a bachelor's degree in criminal Justice. I really appreciate this form and I have been on some other forms that are not nearly as nice. I guess I would like to thank everyone for the information I have gained so far and I will add to the forum whenever possible.

[Quib]

Welcome to Weapon Evolution.

[ArmyRanger]

Hi Y'all,
I am a noobie to this site,,,, I just stumbled onto it while surfing for some info and.... BAM, I'm here. I like what I see so I am going to throw my hat in the ring. A little about me, I retired 2 years ago from the Army after serving for 25 years and 5 combat tours. I love to shoot and love to tinker with my AR's, that is what brought me here. I am by no means a gun expert but I hope to be able to add some of my knowledge of real world use of firearms and gear.

[TripleBravo]

Welcome ArmyRanger...thanks for your years of service to our country!

[Quib]

Welcome ArmyRanger...thanks for your years of service to our country!

Thank you Sir for your service and welcome to Weapon Evolution.

[Ghost__1]

Hello all. I'm not exactly new to the forum as I have been lurking for awhile. I know of some of the staff here from other sites and have only good things to say about them and how they conduct themselves there. So you see it was a no brainer to join here as I am knowledgeable on some subjects but always aim to improve myself further. Goes with the ole Brain is the deadliest weapon theme. A quick shout out to AC and Stick you guys are my inspiration to be better informed internet user and I really want to help new people with a great hobby and tool for home and homeland protection. If you guys ever need an apprentice look no further as I am more than willing. All I ask in return is to play with some of those goods you got.

Anyways a little about myself. My name is Matt I'm from Sturgis, located in the beautiful Black hills of South Dakota. Currently winding down my 5 yr enlistment (adventure) in the US Army with the 82nd Airborne Div. I have served with them for all of my career in a RSTA (reconnaissance, surveillance, target acquisition) unit as an infantry scout observer, senior scout observer, sniper, sniper team leader, sniper section leader, weapons platoon sergeant which I am currently as an E5 (Buck SGT :) ) until Aug when I will be getting out. Hopefully to pursue a career with Triple Canopy. I grew up in a very gun friendly part of the country. I try to Bird hunt whenever I can but will always settle for just getting rounds down range no matter what grain it is. I have experience in quite a few different forms of firearms from 50BMG Anti Material weapons to Bows. I by no means know everything about them but can help a beginner or two. I have hopes to one day open a gun shop/manufacture as it has been my dream since I was little.

ETA I forgot to say thanks for you all being here to share and letting me be a part of your site.

[Bwheeler]

Hey everyone!
Like Ghost, I am also a long time lurker, first time poster. Thanks for such a great, informative site! The amount of information here, without all the BS found elsewhere, is refreshing to say the least. I feel like it is similar to a secret fishing spot, one that all the mouth-breathers haven't found yet. I promise I wont tell!
B. Wheeler

[Mamba6]

I see a couple of US Army brethren here, that's good.

I'm an 11A currently in the USAR with C Troop, 2/107 ACR. Sometime in the next 6-12mo. I'll be transferring to active duty, and PCSing to 1/187 down at Ft. Campbell, as soon as I finish up a few school reqs.

I've spent the last five years as a member of Xeros Services, with a couple of part time contracts through Triple Canopy. I spent several years as a PSD operator and then team leader/supervisor for US DoS officals in a wide locale between Kabul and Bagram. It was Fun (TM), but it was great, and I got to do a lot of cool stuff. Also probably one of the hardest jobs you can ever do, especially in light of the Blackwater issues in Iraq. We were under a lot of scrutiny and if we effed up, there was no passing the buck as "collateral damage due to war". We were fired, and probably going to prison. I am now CONUS, spending most of my time teaching Chair Forcies... sorry... Air Forcies... how to not shoot themselves with an M4, and how to last more than 2 mikes in an engagement. Which for quite a few of them is very hard to do. I am intimately familiar with the AR platform, and know just enough to get myself into trouble.

[TripleBravo]

Hello from communist Chicago.

Welcome CGS...and feel free to add the links you mentioned in your first post. We're all about (legit) information sharing here.

[CGS]

Cool, I'll do that. First posts with links is a red flag and not the first impression I wanted to set. I'll post a few links I have been reading up on. Some are treatment facilities and some are random internet posts about Cryo.

Anyways this forum seems like a cool one. I'd talk about myself more like people tend to do in these intro threads but who cares anyways :)

[CGS]

Welcome... and I'm sorry. At least us in WI are getting closer and closer to our law effective date!

It was just you and us in the whole entire country for awhile. No CC. Now it's just us. Man, you can't understand how upset I am. Criminals have all the fun :( IL is supposed to vote on it (carry concealed) again in Feb 2012 (just in time for the end of the world LOL).

What part of WI? I often shoot at Bristol. I tried McMillers and liked it, wish it were closer.

[Hatter]

I'm in Milwaukee. I typically shoot local indoor range (predominantly a pistol shooter). Its a busy life with sports, grad school and work but next summer I'll be joining a club in Muskego for league and multi-gun shoots. McMillers is nice but its a ways for me too.

Keep voting, you're bound to get there someday!

[lamarbrog]

I guess I'll throw out a few words to introduce myself.

I'm currently 18, turning 19 next month, and live in Houston, Texas. As of about a year ago, I'm an Eagle Scout. I've been involved in firearms heavily since I was about 14. My first three years of high school I entered science fair projects on various terminal ballistics topics. All three were very successful. An article I wrote when I was 16, based on research I did when I was 15, was published in the Guns & Ammo Book of the AK47 2010 edition when I was 17. Not too bad for a snot-nosed kid. My last project resulted in Rice University offering me $5000 to attend their engineering program.

A business class I took during the second semester of my junior year got me a position at a local gun store. After the class I ended up staying with the company through that summer, worked every Friday and Saturday of my senior year, and worked most of this summer. As of now, I'm "retired" and just doing a bit of vacationing before I move to Utah next week for college.

My classes are currently split between those of a mechanical engineering major and a business major. Mechanical engineering has been my intention for a while, but since my real dream is to own and operate my own gun store someday a degree in business may actually be more appropriate. I'm far enough ahead due to AP classes that I have the luxury of taking classes from both fields to see what I like.

I'm very long-winded and enjoy a heated discussion at times. Understandably, I can get quite irate with people who dismiss me due merely to my age while ignoring my credentials.

My goal for the rest of this year is to not flunk out of college (that's the priority), and to try to do a little more shooting. At work I was always the guy who would rather take it apart than shoot it.

I think I've run out of things to carry on about. This is a great forum, and it never ceases to amaze me how knowledgeable the average contributor here is. Lot higher class of people than you see on most forums.

Thanks.

Hello guys, I am SonOfVladTepes over at M4carbine.net, and since that site is now down, I'm taking this opportunity to come and check out this forum. I see some familiar names here, amongst the more knowledgeable ones, so I figure this may also be a great forum for me to snoop around in and learn as much as possible. Cheers!

[Aaron B]

Hey guys, new here as well from m4carbine. I've been to this sight a few times in the past but just now registered. Hoping to learn more from here to add to what I have learned from M4C. Gives me means to past time and learn while I sit here in Iraq.

Hi everyone,

I just joined this forum today while trying to find out why M4C was offline. I recognize a lot of names here from Lightfighter and M4 Carbine. I'm J2 and Jsquared on those forums respectively.

I'm from Tucson, AZ. I served in the Army from '88 to '98 on both active duty and in the AZ national guard. I try to attend classes locally as time and money allow.

Newly registered, but been lurking here and on M4C for quite some time. I work in LE, and running an LMT MRP 16" piston that I've set up for patrol.

Most of my reading and a few questions will probably be directed towards the NFA forum as I am looking to build either a 10.5 or 11.5" canned SBR for fun. It will be my first build, and I'm looking forward to learning from the experts.

Hello WeVo members,

As Arnold would say, "He's Back"!

CD DEFENSE is back on the market! After going out of business two years ago, I've started a new company, Trans World Arms LLC, that will bring CD DEFENSE AR's, new tactical and home defense shotguns and new pistols to the market. We should start shipping in the next 60-90 days.

The new website is not ready yet but hopefully it will be completed and online right after SHOT Show. And yes, we will be exhibiting at SHOT so if any of you are attending the show, please stop by our booth if you have the time.

Hoping to interact with old and new WeVo friends here.

Sincerely,

Hi all from Sweden. Some of you may recognize my nick from LF, M4Carbine.net AR15.com and a few other places. Used to be an upstanding citizen, working as a gunsmith, but due to other undesirable talents (writing, paperwork, customer service etc) I am now a 90% desk monkey.

Hi guys, My name is Jeff. I registered here a few days ago and have been reading a lot of the great product reviews. Really great stuff! I have been involved in shooting for most all of my life and have more recently parlayed my shooting and military experience into working in the tactical community as a photographer (nowhere near the level or notoriety as Stickman :) I registered as MFM short for Muzzle Flash Media. Looking forward to learning and sharing with like minded people.
Thanks!

I found this site researching Noveske and got sucked in with Stickman's excellent reviews and photography. Then I stumbled upon the Magpul lowers and learned I most likely will never acquire one. Well there's plenty more out there, and it'll be fun.

Hello everyone from the free state of Indiana. I am a member of the Indiana Gun Owners (INGO) forum and another member suggested I check this place out. I am relatively new to firearms, having bought my first one in December 2008.

Anyhoo, I'm glad to be here and look forward to continuing my interest (obsession?) with EBRs. :)

[FortTom]

Hello - New here. Have been shooting since about 12 years of age, Shot my first handgun and AR (old M16) When I joined the service in 1975. Been doing it since. My latest gun is a LMT, which I "attached" not buillt Bought Complete LMT Lower, Stripped LMT Upper Centurion Rails, Spikes Nickel Boron BCU, PRI "Gas Buster" CH, Buris MTAC W/Burris QD P.E.P.R. mounts, Larue Index Clips, Gear Sector Stops, and LaRue index clips. So far it's my favorite AR I've owned. Also shoot a lot of pistol. Did some IPSC and USPSA, but knees are about gone, so I'm pretty much done there. This looks like a very well informed and friendly forum. Thanks for allowing me in. Added...after further looking around, I've got to say that this is one of the most informative, if not the largest AR site on the web. Many times, I'll do a Bing or Google search concerning AR's and associated subjects, and this site pops up. It seems like people here are friendly, no B.S., and no horribly arrogant thrashing of people new to the AR platform, as I've seen in other forums. Truly refreshing. Thanks for a well ran, well moderated site. I truly appreciate the privelidge of being a member. Years after shooting the AR platform, I'm still always learning something new.

[Skulltoy]

Long time lurker first time poster. Dont know why it took so long for me to actually just sign up.

Found this site last year and appreciate all the information and great user reviews I find here. Many a review here steered me in a different direction in my AR builds. Yeah got addicted to building custom AR's from the ground up last year, but having to restrain myself with all the stuff that is available and the empty pocketbook. Goes back to my Jeep building days (building AR's is actually cheaper) and love to figure out how to do it all. Been shooting most of my life. First time was a .22 and I was 5, come from a long line of military and sportsmen/sportswomen, so not new to shooting in anyway, kind of like a family tradition.

Hey, new here but not to shooting. Been shooting for awhile, mostly USPSA style matches and a really fun group here in North Carolina called the Zombie Shooting Association. Take the name with a grain of salt, its a really fun group using some a mix of USPSA and IDPA rules and you can't hit them on using the new hype around the whole "zombie" thing.

LENCAD HERE> I arrived because of my mini 30 stainless steel purchased in 1995. And was searching for info from mini 30 users for deer hunting. I have a bolt action 270 with a great scope but most deer are close in and the 270 is over kill. Anyway while in viet nam I used the ar15 223 and it was fantastic if you are wondering about the date in country we were advisors sort of.

If there are any folks from field 9 at ft. walton beach I would love to share how it was being one of the first to land at Bien Hoa. With our WW 2 ventage planes.

[lencad]

I assume your AR15 platform is what we were issued back in 1961 it was fantastic for us back then but I read it had problems later must have been the army mud and such anyway I loved it but have never owned one. Now I use the ruger mini 30 as my main rifle it works for what I need.

I do prefer A 1911, and I am COLT fan. I am also a fan/follower of Jeff Cooper (R.I.P.) I have never been to the gunsite academy but hope to be able to take some training there someday. After A year of reading and saving up ($$$) I got my first AR/M4, back in sept. I am addicted. I am a member of M4c and Teaxsguntalk, I dont post much, I do read a lot. @ the time of this writing both of those sites are down. That is how i found this forum. At any rate, not sure how much ill be able to contribute but i will help out when i can. Oh the new AR? ..... COLT of course. I see some of the same user names here that i see on M4c, and i have to say that my choice for my first AR was made using a lot of info learned form the forums.

OK, I'll bite.

I'm a long time civilian shooter, but new to the world of AR15s. Mid-2012, I decided to build a rifle from individual parts to get acquainted with the platform. The engineer in me finds selecting and assembling role-specific components to be an appealing feature, even as I better learn the strengths and limitations of the platform. All in all, it was fun enough that I ended up building a couple of rifles, instead of just one, and I expect I'll submit an application for an SBR while it's still possible.

My initial research led me to this site when I started speccing parts. I got hooked when I found the folks here more well-informed and more rational than those I found on other sites. In particular, I found the "Explain your AR15 Layout" thread to be unique and extremely helpful. Pictures alone are fine, but it's the "why" and "then I did this...." that make that thread valuable.

Being a shutterbug, the eye candy on this site doesn't hurt either. Here's a vote of thanks to the people that spend the extra time on their images.

At any rate, when I tie up a couple of loose ends on the two new AR15's, I'll include a write-up for the "Explain" thread.

Cheers,
Rat.

Welcome gents... and don't be afraid to start threads asking questions just because you feel like you can't "contribute"
