Hello, I am new to the site. I have lived in Alaska for about 6 years. 4 in Dutch Harbor and now 2-1/2 in Wasilla. I am in the process of building my first AR-15. I just received my Rock River lower and now I am getting with my friend in South Carolina to help me get it started. Look forward to shooting it in the future!

Hello
I'm in Valdez and name is Denis. I like the AR-15 because it's a mechanical wonder. I've had an AR since 1985 and like to shoot it. In the USMC I had an M-14 and that was also a very good gun, and is still doing the odd job in Iraq and Afghanistan. I've got a wife and two kids, and all enjoy shooting. The kids like .22 rimfire rifles and pistols. |

I would be up lunch, but I am only able to make it to Anchorage once a month and that is on a Wednesday. In fact, this coming Wednesday, but must be around 11:30 or so. I have to be at the airport no later than 1 PM, so somwhere clsoe to the airport would be better, like Gwinnies or the like. I work a 2 week on/2 week off schedule in the Winter and a 3-n-3 in the Summer. Would be nice to me some of you folks.
Thanx, Mike |

Hello, Chris O here from Anchorage. I'm 40 something (thats what I started saying when it was more than halfway between 40 and 50 anyway!) I've been wanting a cool predator type rifle for quite some time and when eveyone decided Sarah didnt have enough "experience" and we were going to have "change" weather or not we wanted it... I thought now was as good a time as ever. Anyway, my search for the perfect rifle for me led me here and after purchasing several various rifles, ( I'm mostly stuck between the gas piston thing and the impingement system. I have a couple fine examples of both and have been experimenting down at the RC range to help make up my mind) and lowers, and uppers, I'm getting pretty close now! So, I'm lingering around, trying to decide what to settle on and sure enjoying the information I've been able to glean from elsewhere on this site. Its great to see so many Alaskans here!

Preston from Healy here. Workin' at the coal mine. Mainly on the FALfiles as AlaskanMBR. Member of AMGA, will be at the shoot this memorial day weekend - Give me a shout if you are so we can be sure to say hi.
I do a lot of reloading and WECSOG'n. My favorite rifles are the ones that are black. :D We have some sweet places to shoot here in Healy, and you get used to shooting in some crazy ass wind. If you're ever going to be in Healy for a few days give an IM and we can set up a course of fire and have some fun. Cheers! |

Nice site, Dylan. Hmmm, you don't show it on your site, but is .32 Special (Rifle) still available? Got an old Marlin lever-action that shoots it. Can shoot .30-30 through it but, would rather use the ammo it's made for and I've run a bit low on that.

Thanks, Check this out: .32 Special Leverevolution
This is available now and has even slightly better ballistics than their .30-30 ammo. I have a 1940's Winchester 94 in .32 Win Special. |

Hey Dylan! Good to hear from you man!
If my rifles were to be anything other than black you'd be the one to camo 'em for me. Here's what I did to that saiga I got from you: http://i238.photobucket.com/albums/ff244/akmbr/CIMG0084.jpg For those who haven't seen his work, you've got to check out his website, you'll be impressed. |
