Hello everyone. My name is David. I just joined this interesting and informative site. I've been here a few times, looking at information and opinions on the AR-15. I'm relatively new to firearms in general, so I apologize if I have way too many questions at first. I'll try to research the info before posting any questions. her Well, just wanted to introduce myself. I hope to contribute something positive to your forum someday! Thanks. |
That's what this place is for, to ask questions. You wouldn't believe some of the questions I asked when I joined. Ask away. There's no such thing as a stupid question. Except, perhaps, "what gun did Al Pacino use in Heat," or "which round is best against a zombie," or the stupidest of all, "Which should I get, an AR or an AK?" |
Pretty suspicious Dave. Aren't you the least bit curious who can take a full power shot or what gun Al Pacino used in heat?  j/k: Welcome. |
| I built my first one also. Its not hard at all, the intructions are on this site. I started with a stripped lower and a J & T kit. |
Dude. You're starting off far to seriously. Just grab an "action figure" and jump in with both feet.  * *I just realized that was a dumb phrase. Like, what is he going to do, jump in and leave his friggin' feet behind? Ha!  "Where are your feet, Dave?" "Oh, I left them beside the pool over there, Earl. All I need are these stumps when I'm on the internet." |
Welcome to site

welcome. a couple things. Ar15s use magazines not clips, most threads are worthless without pics (including this one), be afraid of the clique mob and the hammer of dead, +1, w00t!, IBTL, YMMV, JMHO, no one can take a full power shot, buy both, all guns should be banned for the kittens, you should be deeply concerned that the colors of your rifle's parts don't match, only colt Ar's never malfunction and in fact after nuclear fallout only cockroaches and colts will exist. there's more, but why ruin it for you. |
| Be sure to check out the Equipment Exchange for any parts you need on your build. You never know what you might find cheap. |

Wow. Thanks everyone for the warm welcome. For those who were wondering: No, I've never been in a prison (Turkish or otherwise). Well, not unless you count my tour of a new prison as an architectural intern when in college, or my project walk-through of a maximum security prison while taking field notes for making CAD drawings for a project for work. I'm sorry I'm from Delaware. I don't trust Delaware, either, but it's where I moved after college graduation to start a career. I'm originally from PA if that helps anyone. have Yes, NEWBIE here for sure. Well, at least a newbie to rifles. I do own 2 handguns (both Springfield Armory XD-9 subbies) and a 12ga shotgun (Ithaca Model 37). I do go to my local range when I can, and when funds allow. On a good day, I can shoot about a 2"-3" group from 20 feet away w/ my subbie. I haven't used the shotgun yet (inherited from Grandfather). Again, thanks for the welcomes! Shall I start w/ my questions here or a new post? |
The benefits from the site will far outweigh the cost of our magazines. The membership here is persistent, too. |

Welcome Dave! Once you start really using this site for info, you'll find the search feature for non-members can be quite limiting, but you can overcome that by upping the ante and becoming a paid team member for as little as $24/year. Here's a thread you'll probably need to refer to, in order to understand what the heck we're saying: Acronyms and Abbreviations in common Use on AR15.com |

Thanks again for your welcomes. I don't blame some of you for wanting a ban already. Those shady Delawareans, you know? h As far as asking questions here, I'm not sure exactly what to ask yet. I'm still absorbing information that I'm finding on this site, and checking out your library on the AR-15. I'm sure my newbie questions have already been asked by someone else already. I'll have to look around for the answers. Give me some time. I'll be asking questions eventually. Especially on what to buy and what people like best. Thanks everyone for making me feel welcomed. |
Welcome Dave. Hey guys, they left out P******P , update? Is this comment going to get me keeping company with the doll movie guy; Sarge isn't it? |
Yeah, this guy just doesn't understand how things are done around here.  What was that gun Al Pacino carried again? 
|
smooth highjack Lert. Welcome to the site  Don't own guns?..well, you'll fit in here nicely

Sorry about the hijack. David's thread just reminded me of my manners. <back to your regularly scheduled David> h.gif |
