Hello I Just Joined and wanted to say Hello I live in Pittsburgh, Pa but worked in Denver . For Joy Mfg Co in aurora in the late 70s I really enjoyed it out "west" and traveled around a good bit. Im a Ex-US Navy Seabee with two Vietnam tours to my credit. Im a big fan of the AR platform also got in to the commie AK-47 late in life as I kinda had a bad taste in my mouth about them. But as you get older you mellow. I really enjoy hand guns the most and rifles second . I hand load every thing I shoot Except &.72x39 and 22 LR. I have buit a AK-47 Polish underfolder from a parts kit it turmed out real nice even Parked it. and currently building a Ar kit from Sherluk Marketing as they have been attend our Pittsburgh, Pa gun shows for years and always have a nice selection of good looking parts, so I got there Kit A E2 20" rifle kit every thing except the reciver, $424.95 Plus $11.59 shipping cheaper that paying the 7% pa sales tax at the next gun showand i order a Essential Arms stripped reciver its forged and I opted to get there Black "tought coat for a exta $3.00 $77.00 plus $3.00 and $11.00 shipping to my FFl So I have $525.00 into it we"ll see how it come out. nice to meet you all Nerry Christmas & Happy New Year!!! :cool:
