Well, I guess this place is as good as any since I can't seem to find a nub section, lol My name is Gus, I'm 27, from Rochester, NY and this is my first rifle. Bought it at the Gun Show 9/20 in Rochester RRA ar15 http://rockriverarms.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=category.display&category_id=226 Came with preban 20 round mag. I purchased additional 30 and 40 round pre ban mags as well as a scope & 200 rounds of .223. Nothing special, but the cross hairs light up in red which is pretty neat. I have shot several guns before, but this is the first one i've owned. Put 100 rounds thru it thus far, and it's loud, and redonkulously accurate, considering I suck at shooting, lol I don't know much about this firearm, other than I wanted an ar15 for about 2 years now. I will be honest, originally, some of me wanted it simply because it looked cool & and i'm a boy and all that bla bla bla, but now that I actually own it, i've been doing a lot of internet looking to learn more about it, and all the parts of it and i've found a new respect for this and all firearms. For now i'm just learning to shoot and be accurate, not sure where the rest of the road will lead, other than purchasing more firearms as time moves on. You can also find me on NYFIREARMS.com under the same username here it is, no mag http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr155/Sweet98ga/DSC00326.jpg 20 round mag http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr155/Sweet98ga/DSC00327.jpg 30 round mag (my favorite look) http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr155/Sweet98ga/DSC00328.jpg 40 round mag (completely unnecessary, lol) http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr155/Sweet98ga/DSC00329.jpg All three http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr155/Sweet98ga/DSC00330.jpg All three, other direction http://i479.photobucket.com/albums/rr155/Sweet98ga/DSC00332.jpg Other points of interest about me: I work for a POS (Point of Sale) company I am also in to cars (just sold & parted out my pride and joy...) I am on xbox live - S1tnS1dewayz Not much else really. I'm a very funny and often sarcastic guy, and while i'm new here, please don't take personal offense to anything I may say as most of the time i'm just busting balls anyway :) -Gus |
Welcome aboard. Getting me to quit the shooting sport i probably harder than getting me or anyone else to quit smoking. Once you make your first purchase you wont stop, trust me on that on. Then youll want to learn everything about them, how they work, how they are made, how you can customize them. Then possibly get into reloading and building. My main word of advice though since you are from NY especially, watch and learn about the laws. |

Thanks all for the warm welcome
No where as of yet... I don't have the money at the moment to join a gun club, but I will be looking into one after I get back from Vegas in a couple weeks Are their any ranges in the rochester area that offer indoor/night shooting? I work til 6pm every night so day/outdoor ranges are no good to me, except on weekends I guess |

Centerfire lossely referes to firearms which shoot a cartridge that has a primer. The primer is that round button looking thing recessed into the base of your 223 ammo. Its what the firing pin strikes when you pull the trigger igniting the powder in the case and launching your bullet down the barrel  Rimfires are the others(generally small caliber); 22LR and 17HMR and a few others. |
