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.

Hello everyone. I am new from CT. Looking to build my first AR so I joined after researching some info linked to this forum. Thanks to all of you that contribute because it will take time for me to be a contributor of useful info.

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

Howdy Y'all - New member (but old guy here) in PA. I joined to learn about the current products available to the AR15 platform.

I ordered one last week, though it seems my timing really sux.....I was not interested in one before the last ban and planned to get one soon, but not this soon.

Anyway, Civilian plinker that had gotten away from shooting for about 25 years. I had been a dedicated handgunner back then. Recently got 2 new handguns to start shooting again. Decided to get the AR while I still could.

Found the site when I was attempting to understand how Red Dots worked in conjunction with iron sights. We didn't have that stuff back in the late 60's early 70's (boot camp 1968). Found the thread put online by Paulo Santos (Unstanding Co-witness).

Not to slight ANYONE but have looked over many threads by Mr Santos and also by Quib . A plethora of useful info within. Thanks Guys. I'm sure that I will find more articles by others in the future.

Don't look like I'll be able to teach you folks anything...LOL

Hey everyone,

I've cruised by the site on occasion but never registered until today. I'm mostly on M4carbine.net but joined here too and the forum looks great.

What's up everyone. From PA

Hey guys. I'm exited to be on this forum. I thought I would drop in here and say hello. And to be honest right after this post I'm going into another category to post a thread asking a question and I knew if I didn't say hi or have at least one post someone was going to say .... And this was your first post. Hahahahaha. Looking forward to getting to know you guys. Thanks again!

Not really. We try not to get that worked up around here. I do recall this one forum that came unglued when I failed to post a formal intro...whatever.

Welcome Lh556.

**larryboypa** · 13 January 2013, 16:25

Well then this is my kind of forum. Thank you for the welcome.

Hello all,

I'm a newly registered member here. Thought I would say "Hi" and introduce myself. I live in Pennsylvania and love shooting as a hobby. Been hanging around here for quite a bit now, plenty of knowledgeable folks here!

Anyway, I look forward to learning from the threads here and participating in some of the discussions.

Thanks for having me.

Clark
