Welcome to Weapon Evolution.

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.

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.

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!

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.

I bought a matched Noveske upper/lower from J-P Ten a couple of months ago. Great service. Welcome John.

Like Ghost_1 above, I have been a member of other sites for awhile which many of the staff here frequent.
On M4C my handle is Winfield813.
I am a former Marine grunt currently embroiled in post graduate education and teaching.
Looks like this is an outstanding site, and am glad to be onboard.
