I didnt see a new member intro forum so Im posting this here. Sorry if I missed one.
I learned a long time ago that the best way to get knowledgeable fast on any topic (mustangs, fitness, knives, etc.) other than picking the brain of a seasoned expert, are these type forums. So now that Im considering purchasing my first assault rifle, I knew this was the place where the "heads" would be.
My name is Christian, I go by BillCutting on a few forums, I chose that name for the great character (who was based on a real guy by the way) from Martin Scorsese's "Gangs of New York". Im 36, live in Florida, and am a outdoors, old school type of guy (guns, knives, fishing, loud cars, etc.).
I currently own only a .40 handgun, a IMI polymer compact baby eagle. Ive owned a Browning .22 and a Mossberg 12 gauge in the past as well. My main passion has been knife collecting and Im currently sitting on about $4500 in sweet blades (Striders, Busses, etc.) but Im going to part with a bunch of them (they hold there value amazingly well, you can basiclly sell them at what you paid even after some use) to get my AR. I hope to learn a lot, and its great to meet you all. Dont worry I wont do anything stupid like start my first thread as "Whats the best AR?". LOL. I know what the search button is for. Peace.
