I am a new member to the site. I have lurked around reading on here for the past couple of years but haven't posted much because I just don't have the knowledge that most of the other member do.

With that being I need some assistance putting together my AR15's. - I have 2 brand new 6920 colts with accessories (Red Dot, BUIS, Surefire, Rail System, Laser, ect). . I need help putting these together.

If you are willing to help please let me know. I appreciate it.

IM sent.

Also if you know post what kind of rail you have for the AR's. Different ones may require a special tool.

All of those guns, never fired?

It takes restraint to not go directly to the range after buying mine

MO hometown forum is full of great people. I'm a little far away from you, but it looks like a few guys have it covered already. They know what they're doing. Good luck

I am shocked at the level of generosity on this site. I thought id get one or two replies at most, but my inbox is flooded with replies. I wish I would have asked this question 3 months ago instead of waiting. Thank you to everyone who responded! I will make sure I repay the kindness with plenty of good Bourbon and Rocky Patel Cigars! Thanks again and I look forward to meeting some of you!

I get it...

When I was in H.S. there was this really light skinned black kid that called me Cracker all the time (in a joking playing manner), then I started callin him Wheat Thin, and said he looked like he had Seaseme Seeds (he had freckles)... It went over supprisingly well...

Sounds like a trip to Arnold RPC is in order? Let's get a time together... or there was that other spot down south by Cedar Hill?

If by Cedar Hill you mean my place, I'm always looking for an excuse to do some shooting.

I'm out of pocket on Saturday, but Sunday is open. I still have a box of clays to play with, too.

Agreed. I think I've figured out how to set up simultaneous skeet and pistol/rifle areas.

I think I can get everything ready by May 19th/20th. Cracker1, you in?

The next weekend is Memorial Day weekend. I was pretty sure that people would already have plans.

We can do more than one.

I think we're kinda hijacking Cracker1's thread here. I'll start a new one for an East Side HTF shoot.
