    You made a great choice in Colorado, and Boulder is a great little town to live. Welcome!

    Boulder? Think hippies, tie-dyed clothes, The Grateful Dead, tree-huggers, hybrid cars, hairy-legged women, sandals, hemp clothing, just about everything you can think of that's non-gun friendly. That's what a huge amount of Boulder is like. Especially the government. Denver isn't much better.

    Now the rest of Colorado, is more conservative and cowboy-like. More of the "old west" flavor.

    These are generalizations, of course, and I'm sure to be flamed by members from Boulder. But by and large, Boulder isn't a gun-owner community.

    I see a lot more active people in Boulder these days than hippies. It is a big athletic community here. Which is great. Out of shape, unhealthy citizens makes America weak!

But it's a beautiful city and you'll most likely enjoy your time there.

    The neat thing is MagPul is headquartered there!

    I'd be very interested in hearing more about your company. Are you setting up shop here?

    I am travelling with my wife, she is going to work at the university. I do not have a job, at least not yet...

    It seems that as an alien it might be very difficult to set up a gunshop in US...
    Here in Finland, our primary customer group is action shooters, like IPSC.

    We have sold / are selling Colt, S&W, Bushmaster, Sabre, Stag Arms, DPMS AR-15 rifles and all other AR-15 things we can get
    We also build our own line of match AR-15 rifles "Uronen Precision". Barrels come from Germany (Lothar Walther), we make ourselves lower/upper receivers, gas blocks, muzzle brakes, scope mounts etc. parts. Most common trigger systems are Jard adjustable and JP, buttstocks come mainly from ACE, magazines from H&K, optics from Meopta, Swarovski...

    Other popular products are, for example, CZ and STI International pistols, which we also customize here. Just to mention a few things

    If you are interested in our things here in Finland, I would be happy to tell more.

    Perhaps, we should consider some other place to live... Have lived our lives next to Russia, that is enough about left-hand politics
    Can you recommend something ? Longmont, Louisville ? We do not want to go to Denver, though.

    Hi Hannu, welcome, my wife and mother-in-law are both Finnish and my mother-in-law speaks Finnish. I hope you will enjoy Colorado and the shooting events around here. Again welcome to Colorado and the forum
