Howdy, joined a few days ago but this site is pretty big and not sure where I'm supposed to be to get started. So I guess I'll post a pic of one of my carbines and wait for some criticism or get banned I guess. I like simple type AR's, 1911's and N frame Smiths but I'm really all over the map with my interests. That's about all there is to tell about me.
Like I said, not sure where I'm supposed to start here.

It's kind of a mixmaster of parts I had, I really like the lightweight short barreled A1's of the old days. It was an upper I swapped onto an Sp1 lower. Unfortunately as a Canadian I'll probably never shoot it again, its been stripped to the bare receiver now and the parts have moved onto another rifle.

If you were to make a pot of chili, would it have beans?

Quote HistoryQuoted: No Glocks, no care. :D Welcome! Thanks for the warm welcome, but are Glocks relevant in a retro AR forum? For the record, I only own one Glock currently. A G19 I bought for my daughter after she graduated high school. But I wish I still had one of the Gen 3 21's I used to have. |

Good job Amigo. Seems like you got the right idea. Welcome to the forum. My mixmaster is a lot like yours. I ditched the oval handguards on mine and replaced them with some skinny ones. 6 hole, 7 hole, it don't matter. Gives the rifle a much more lighter, neater, handier, tucked in appearance IMHO. Just saying. Have you given that a thought?
 PS---As a 6th gen Texan, I'm a sucker for beans, with or without chili.  |

Its moved onto a slightly different configuration since I took that pic, simply because the laws changed here and I had to change with them. |

Welcome. I’m one of the clueless wannabe retro builders that comes here for advice and posts stupid questions.
Sorry to hear about the Canada thing. |

Welcome and my advice is to spend a bunch of time reading, learning and contributing to whatever forums you like before venturing over to general discussion.
It’s entertaining sometimes but not for the newly initiated

Some people wrongly insist on calling bean stew chili, instead of realizing that chili does not have beans in it. Nice shooter, welcome to the forum. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: What kind of lower @OP that does not have a channel for the detent and spring? Early "slab side". Late '50s/early '60s for originals. Think NDS did some repops as well.( Retro really isn't my strong point.)

Its a fun light carbine, slapped together with worn out old parts so it kinda patterns rather than groups. If I could put the chili thing to rest, I don't use beans but I do love corn.

Haha, no, I was just giving you shit for the 1911 comment and I can't hate on the AR so it's all I had. Also, I have a gen 3 21 and gen 3 30 and love them both. They just fit my hands so well. |
