Hey all,

Im Tom, live in the Riverview area of Tampa (between Tampa and Brandon).  Ive just recently found how much fun an AR can be, having shot one over in Las Vegas last August when out there for a convention.  Had to wait a bit to get one, but finally did so this past month.  Ordered a Bushmaster XM15 a few weeks ago from Patriot Arms in Brandon, and also picked up a Keltec PLR-16 as well.  Got them both this past Tuesday and went and shot them this weekend @ Shoot Straight in Tampa; a very nice shop, had a crapload of tacticool toys for ARs.  Thought I was going to have to order and wait to get most of what I wanted, but surprisingly to me at least, Shoot Straight has had all of what I wanted so far.  Ive posted pics below.  I also have in the pics a XD .45 ACP; not pictured is a PS90 and a FN Five 7 and a bernelli shotgun.  Want to get a pump shotgun and that new GSG .22, theyve got one at Shoot Straight I was so close to buying, but havent yet.  Need to really get a gun safe, just kinda hard to get a decent one and live in an apt and have to deal w/moving, etc.  Anyways, heres some pics.

Specs on my ar15:

p-mags w/magpuls
foregrip
replaced handgrip (dont know manufacturer, Ill ask @ range)
tactical charging handle
Bushnell 51-002 holo sight
UTG scp-ls168 laser
A.R.M.S. buis absolute

EBR is a very addicting disease.  No cure for it, and the treatment can be very expensive.  Nice sticks.  Do ya think you could have made the pics ANY bigger??????

Yeah, I didnt realize how large they were till I posted em.  I am not familiar with digital pics at all, hardly ever take any.  I can replace the image with the direct links to my site where I host em...that a better idea?

And is there a glossary of terms?  I am not sure what EBR is.

Thanks for the comments. Look forward to feeding my addiction.

Yep, def got that.  Thanks for the explanation.  On a related note, anyone have a recommendation for a tactical vest?  Would like one that either has a integrated chest holster, or can have it added on. Thanks in advanced.
