Just curious, how did you guys find this site?

I found the "original" from a link on Model 1 website.

When I was looking for a good rifle back in 1999. I always wanted a AR since I was a kid. I just did a search on Altavista (back then it was a great search engine) and this site poped up. Used this site to research on which manufacture was rated the best, and to find out about the law restrictions on different features.

Have been stuck here since. But a I am seeking therapy, I spend way to much time reading the GD.

From the old AR15-L email listing about five years ago now...

Bushmaster recommended this site for a TM after I called them. Best call I ever made. I had no idea that there were so many other sick people like me in this world.[:)]

Super Tuesday last November.
I had called my dad in Tx about Gore possibly becoming President and decided now was the time to buy an AR-15 before it was too late. He offerd to sell me his, which of course I accepted.

So in anticapation of going to Tx for Christmas to p/u said rifle, I typed in AR-15 in the search mode and AR15.com came up.

God Bless this site...even all you heathens[BD]

Surfing for information on the AR-15, I wanted to built one to go along with my Colt.

I wanted info on an ar15 before purchasing one. I typed in www.ar15.com at random, and got this site!

I was surprised, since usually guessing logical URLs causes a some type of porn site to pop up.

The best example of this was when my friend wanted to check a price at "Dick's Sporting Goods", when the rest of us walked in to the room, we were a little concerned about the website he was loading!

it was a requirement from bushmaster! if you bought there ar15's you are required to use ar15.com. [;D]

I decided to follow through on my 20 plus year idea of wanting to own a AR. I was searching the web for information on different makes and up popped AR15.com.

I've hung around every since.

I was looking to buy a AR about a year ago and needed some information and ran across this site. I looked a prices and bought a AK but I am saving money for a Bushy A3.

The dealer that I bought my first AR from said it would be a good place to learn a few things. Whew, that was an understatement. I learned more in a few days then I ever did researching in books.

I took one of my mini-14's to the range after owning it for 10 years and never shooting it. After seeing the dismal accuracy, I decided to find out whether or not the AR15 suffered from the same problem. While browsing the web for info, I just stumbled across the site. (around 4 years ago....)

Great site indeed !

Saw AR15.com mentioned on a thread at ArmaLite.com

Checked it out and now I'm alot poorer (Have bought 3 AR15's since buying my AR10), but wiser (thanks to all for the good info that is posted here).

Long story but I'll make it short as possible:

1)Back in '93 I bought a Ruger P89 with the 15 rd magazine.

2)In '97 was short on cash and sold the P89.

3)Two months later I was back up finiancially and went to get another pistol.

4)Found out about the Brady Bill and couldn't get 15 rd magazines anymore.

5) Got to researching the firearms laws and figured I better get what I could while they were still available.

6) Went to a gun show and bought an AR15.

7) Figured I needed to learn as much about the AR as I could and started searching the net.

8) Waalaa! Here I is!

I was thinking of either assembling or buying an AR15 type rifle before they become illegal to own. I entered "AR15" in GOOGLE, and here I am.

Friends started to talk about BS 23 about a year before the dreaded day. I researched, and later picked up my Bushy, mags and hicaps for my glock, thanks to this site. (I am forever, grateful) I posted a few under a different log in on the older site. I follow this site (actively) because I made a decision to get involved with the RKBA.

This site was mentioned in a thread on[url] http://www.thefiringline.com/[/url]. Surfed over, started reading, decided to get the Bushmaster out of the safe and have been corrupted ever since.

About a year and a half ago, a coworker emailed me a link to a discussion here about renting full autos in AZ. Some months later, when I finally got internet access at home, I had a legal question, remembered the site, and posted it in the legal section. Been here ever since.
