Well I am a gun nut and just bought my first ar-15 type rifle the other day and I have enjoyed reading the posts and news on this site...interesting and funny I must say. I have learned alot by reading through all the info here and am really enjoying myself.

Welcome. [:)] This place is sort of my internet home, a great place to hang out if you don't get caught up in some of the wackyness that goes on. Plus you can ask a question on just about anything and get more answers than you can use within a day. If you are looking for other gun resources, I go to [url]www.thefiringline.com[/url] a bit when I am researching a new gun. Not as fun as here but there is a lot of information. If you like to revel in the wackyness, go to [url]www.full-auto.com[/url] . It is a fun site. Some "ex-patriates" there, but mostly good guys. Now save up so you can add to your AR collection. [:)] |

Actually the Corbons had a pretty poor reputation, but I think they might have got their act together cause you don't hear as many complaints now. If it is working reliably for you it is an awesome light weight weapon. Personally I like my 1911s all steel though, just feels better in the hand. If you want a plastic lower another option is the Cavalry Arms lower that has a pretty decent price. It uses a standard upper though. But you can get it in pink if you want. [8D] Most people here have the standard aluminum lower, and the usual competition of Colt is best, no Bushmaster is best, no Armalite is best, no only pre-bans are best, and so on. Mine is an Olympic franken-gun that I bought at the last minute, and it will be my last till I can convince the wife to move out of state. Oh well. It's pretty ugly, but it shoots well and not one single jam in 2k rounds so far. And let's just say, I am not religious about cleaning. [:P] |

Quoted: thanks guys ..so what do you all think about the professional ordanance line of weapons?..damn and when will they make a carbon fiber framed 1911 that would be a great ccw in a compact, especially in a wide body that uses the preban para mags:)...scott scott there is a firearms discussion group as well as a handgun disscussion,as well as a equipment exchange forum and many others that will field any question you can ask. When you log in look for the forums to your left of where you just logged in. There is a lot of neat places to check out here,theres even a ladies gunners forum,not just for ladies. bob [8D] |
