Howdy Folks

[hip55]

Just a quick hello to everyone ! [Wave]

Looks like a great Colorado community with a lot of knowledgeable members.

I'll be doing my first "build your own" soon and will have a few questions I'm sure.

Welcome,, Plenty of tools and knowledge about builds to share here..

[hip55]

Thanks for the warm welcome -

Welcome.. I happen to like the old Hi-Power. Damn fine pistol. You have good taste.

[hip55]

When I bought it in the mid 90's it just felt "right".

Still does -

Welcome.

Welcome to the forums hip55!

[theGinsue]

I may be coming into this thread a little late, but my WELCOME is just as genuine.

If you're coming to us looking for knowledge, you have definitely come to the right place. You'll be amazed at the amount of things you'll come to learn that you didn't know (I still am!).

This site is only as good as the amount you participate in it so I hope to see you jumping into the various forums/threads with both feet.

Once again, welcome and don't forget to tip your wait staff.

howdy and welcome

[hip55]

Thanks guys- I'll contribute what I can.

[Batteriesnare]

Welcome, look forward to seeing your build!

[theGinsue]

Thanks guys- I'll contribute what I can.

"Contributing" doesn't have to be AR or even firearm specific. Heck, you don't even have to have anything particularly intelligent (read my posts for examples that this is the case), just something witty if you can muster it up.
