Hello folks.

Lonnie Mann III
Marion, IL
Army (91X)
I am an artist, industrial designer, and tattooer.
I am excited to be a part of this community! I recently got rid of my social media accounts due to a change in community that soured me to those formats. Things started getting too superficial for my taste. This seems like a much better fit.

Hello, yet another Illinoisan checking in.

My name is Cole.

Born and raised in Du Page County.  Grew up in Wheaton, and still reside in Du Page County.

I work in the IT industry.

I love rifles and long walks on the beach.

I have lurked on this forum for awhile now, and have found the wisdom and advice from others more experienced than myself invaluable.

In fact, I solved a failure to fire problem I was having last weekend because of this forum. I had my hammer spring on backwards, and 3-4 rounds per 30 in a mag would fail to fire.  I felt like an idiot, as I have put a FCG together a few other times; but I guess I was in a rush this time after cleaning and assembled it wrong.

Good morning everyone!

My name is Joe, I recently moved to Illinois from Boston, MA and just by chance I unknowingly moved to Dupage county which is ALOT more relaxed than I am used to.  I have my FOID & CCL and I'm looking for people to hang out with, make some new friends and have a few buddies to talk shop with.

I have the typical boring layout....9, 45, 308 bolt action, AR, AK & shotgun.  Nothing unique.

Anyhow, I'm glad to be here and hopefully I run into some of you people in the future!

Purchased my first firearm about a month ago and looking to make an AR Rifle or Pistol purchase and see where it goes from there.

New guy here - came over from Illinois Carry as I saw several over there that also congregate here.

I'm Brian. I'm here in the Illinois Quad Cities.

Originally a concealed carry proponent and aficionado but fell into the AR/PCC/Precision Rifle thing a few years back.

Trying to figure out what I'm gonna do with this PICA thing as I'm recently retired and widowed.
