So as the title states I'm new here... Hello everybody. Shout out to mutt you have be awesome in advice and info bro thanks much. My name is Mickey and I'm 29, living on the western slope in Grand Junction, CO. I have shot numerous rifles and some pistols but never owned a gun. No military background unless you count cod and bf as prior experience... Lol jkjkjk. No offensive puns intended to those that have given service to our country. Just trying to break the ice. Anyways I'm new to the game of owning guns and like I have mentioned to mutt, although I'm super handy and a quick learner I don't know my ass from my elbow on guns, accessories, and parts. I only have the general knowledge what I learned from cod and bf as well as recent learning from YouTube gun videos, these and other ar/carbine forums, and what mutt has taught me. I'm a college student and I volunteer at the Center for Independence here in town so I'm not always available but any info, tips, and/or advice on AR's and Carbine's, parts, good quality deals, etc etc would be great. Thanks for having me guys and thanks in advance for any future posts!!
