Williamson county (southern il along 57) Sell, letter, and set monuments Enjoy duck and rabbit hunting along with trap shooting Have wanted an AR for years now but never had the extra money layin around. In December I realized my chances might be getting slim so decided to just buy the lower for one since that was all i could afford. That's when I discovered the whole AR culture and have been on this forum ever since. Thanks to this forum I now have 10 receivers! 1100 Remington, S&W MP 15-22, SKS |

My name is William
I live in Lyons IL I am currently a college student I am completely new to the internet firearm world and it will take me some time getting used to things, I am 19 but have been shooting since I was young, I got into this lifestyle because as a kid my pops was a trucker and the little time we had, we would head to the range and shoot some 45s and since then I have moved on to bigger things like my AR that I built the day I turned 18. Looking forward to spending a lot of time on ar15.com as it seems its easier to shoot my mouth of on the internet then shoot my guns, a lot cheaper too. |

Ed In IL Ok, McHenry County. Originally from Joisey. Programming and IT consulting (When in doubt, reboot) I've been shooting for about 7 years, but I didn't get my black rifle until Election Day 2012. It was just a coincidence when money and opportunity intersected nicely. Becoming a '13er was a natural next step. My avatar is my first gun, a S&W Model 5943. NRA and ISRA member, and I plan on going NRA Life in 2015 when my current membership comes up for renewal. |
