    Hello. I love guns. I'm not a racist, I not only love black guns, but I love guns of all colors. I am fully on board with integration.
    That said, I currently reside in Pensacola. I am a member at local ranges. I've joined this forum to glean the expertise and experiences from fellow members. My recent obsession is building guns, and from what I've read here, a lot of you guys are too. My current projects are:
    20" and 24" 2.23 Wylde AR
    12.5", 16" and 20" AR in.308 (I found a real good deal on barrels)
    I just received my first 80% lower that uses M&P mags, this will also be my first 9mm AR build
    Oh, and my M&P 2.0 compact needs the same flat face, forward set trigger and sear and night sights my full size M&P has

    Nice to be here! 850 in the house!

    Welcome to the forum sir.
    There is tons of info that can be had from the members here. Quite a few guys are very knowledgable in the parts,building,properly maintaining, the AR platforms in most all chamberings.
    We have one or more unofficial gunsmiths/machinists here as we do trainers if you want/need to acquire more "official" knowledge.
    Jump right in. Both learn and teach. You'll like it here. --- SAWMAN

    Hello, I think that is neat that you like to build guns, I would like to learn but to be honest don't know where to start. I would also like to teach my son. It is something that I think has been long forgotten (should have stayed) and now traditions of old need to learn and teach others.

    It nice that you are here

    Welcome.

    Pin or dimple AND Rocksett set screw those gas blocks.
    Stake your castle nuts, don’t skimp on the BCG.
    9mm ARs are mostly an exercise in futility.

    There, now you’re caught up. Lol

    Now you've done it... in with the strangies, creepies, and gun craziness that shall surely take you to the dark side. All kidding aside, great forum with cool members and unlimited amounts of knowledge, tomfoolery, and inclusiveness. Enjoy and welcome.
