Hello, names Justin, just found this site while looking for info, I like to hunt, fish, hike, and play music. I've got a small collection of guns at the moment, and I plan on keeping it growing!

Hello everyone!:

New forum member here, from Spain. I've seen some threads with familiar nicks from other sites and seen how varied and comprehensive source of knowledge this community is, so I'm ready to learn from you, and of course cooperate as much as I can from the other side of the "pond".

Best regards!

By the way, the golden means principle doesn't refer to the drop of the comb on the verticle but the angle horiz. from the breech to the butt-plate & is adaptable for rt. or lft. hand shooters. Best described in the Dixie Gun Works cat. It truly makes a stock custom.

I'll be EASing from the Marine Corp in december and moving back to Illinois. Never was around guns much as a kid but i cant get enough of em now. Currently I have an XD 45 tactical, an AR mut and just picked up a mossberg 500 cruiser at the cross roads of the west show over the weekend. Take care guys.

Hi my name is J.D.

Been browsing this site on and off for a longer than id like to admit and figured i might as well just join. Hope to learn as much as i can.

Virg1L · October 3, 2011, 12:37 PM

Well, after a few years of having this site come up first in my goggle searches whenever i have a firearms query, I've finally taken the hint and joined, as I have found the mot useful answers on this forum. Although I'm somewhat new to this site, I am pretty familiar to general forum etiquette and will do my best to abide by your rules and regs. In time I hope to be able to help those who have helped me understand a few things about my weapons that I would not have known otherwise, but for now I'm going to become familiar with the layout and hopefully get some answers.

I'm a proud Texan living in the Dallas area, studying to become an EMT, and owner of CA Undercover .38, Glock 22, Ithica 37 12ga., Remington 700 .308 and 870 12ga., and a Stag M8L .556.

I'm looking forward to our discussions but should tell y'all up front that I'm not fluent in technical terms but am ready and willing to learn. Therefore I ask for your patience when I inevitably ask you to explain something to me like a five-year old. Like I said though, I want to learn and I pick up quick so let's get to it.

hi i just started refinishing firearms an ran it to a problem my first coat of birchwood casey tru oil stock finish will not dry. this stocks finish was removed with a high quality furniture remover that has worked well in the past the only difference this time was the use of oxalick acid to remove some dark spots. i did let it dry before the first coat of tru oil but it still will not dry, any one had this problem before.

ToRoiD_X · October 3, 2011, 07:38 PM

Hello - I'm a new user from northern Virginia. I am 28 and am looking forward to purchasing my first firearm this weekend at The Nations Gun Show in Dulles.
I'm interested in all types of firearms from revolutionary war muskets to the latest and greatest.
I currently have a Daisy CO2 handgun and a CO2 'Splatmaster' paintball gun

This weekend, I'll be looking for a 12-guage 870 and if I've not spent all my savings, a .22 bolt-action rifle.
I've been reading posts here for a while now, but have just joined this evening.

Hey guys and gals! My name is Rob owner of Southern Armament. I just wanted to share with you all that my company is a brand spanking new one and I am hoping to make several friends here on the High Road. Anyway, I've been building rifles and such for several years on a personal basis. I figured, heck, start a company! So at -- uh, very long last, Here we are!

We will be at the Knob Creek Fall machinegun shoot from October 14th - 16th 2011. Please come by and introduce yourself! We will have some items though I admit not very many, for sale and we will surely be better prepared for the spring 2012 shoot!.... come out and check out the sale prices as they are sure to please!

I do look forward to meeting you guys face to face because those meetings build the strongest relationships and the success of SA is certainly riding on great relationships! Thanks and it's a pleasure to join this community!

johnnyh8 · October 5, 2011, 04:04 PM

Hey Im John. I have been buying and selling guns for several years. I didnt realize I had an account till I tried to sign up (edit: didnt even realize I already did this once) and read more about my S&W M&P 360 I just got. It was between that and a Colt Commander, but my current EDC will do for now, xdm 9mm compact. I live in Arizona, and trucks and guns occupy all my time and money

I just purchased 3 Acres in Reddick Florida ( Marion County ) and am interested in local gun laws. I have a small hangun and would like to practice firing it. It is hard for me to interprit whether it is, or not legal to do so ( Local govt. vs State govt. etc. ). HELP ?

Hi I am new here and can't seem to be able to see an Icon that allows me to introduce myself. I have a question on using new 32 acp semi auto ammo in 1903 Colt. Is the new 32acp ammo acceptable and will it function in the ist yr model 1903 Colt pocket rimless pistol I have?:

justice06rr · October 7, 2011, 01:55 AM

Hello from Central FL! Glad to be here, and i'm also glad I live in FL where gun laws are very lax. I've been shooting pistols (semi-autos) for over a year and recently got into rifles when I purchased my first AR15.

artbrownsr · October 7, 2011, 02:35 AM

Hey Chris -Bob, are you going to the friends of NRA at the Eagan Sat the 8th ? I'll be there!

Steve, I used to have a few acres in Marion County, down south, near Umatilla. My neighbor had a shooting range in his back yard, over 100 yards long, with a high earthen berm for a good back-stop. He'd practise with his long guns & hand guns any time he wanted to. He was a long time resident there, and was known by everyone, so it appears that there was no problem with doing that. You may want to check with the local LE to be sure, but, the less they know, the better. "Hunter"

Delboy · October 7, 2011, 03:45 PM

Hi Folks,
I'm in upsate NY, interested in expanding both my knowledge and the number items in my modest collection of semi-autos (AR's AK's etc.) Hoepfully without making too many mistakes, having some fun and making friends along the way. I am a total novice and late to the hobby at 50+.
Cheers
