Hello all:
Yea, I know it's 24 years since I registered.......
I'm an old guy, been loading since '73, shooting since I was a pup. From the wheat country of eastern Colo. I've accumulated several rifles and handguns. I load for 'em all. There's a couple 223's in the bunch, one std, and one AI. Almost all have heavy barrels. I developed this disease in the '90's, I blame it on my kid, he got me enthralled with the old Rem Senderos.
I've ordered a 24-inch heavy bbl AR from CBC Industries. No particular reason, 'cept I just like the long heavy barrels, and I liked their assy arrangement. And it'll be handy in the prairie dog fields. That, combined with Colorado's upcoming ban on ARs, I decided to enter the fray. All that, and it'll be one more gun my kids will have to dispose of when I check out. I've never been particularly enthused with ARs but decided it's time to try one out. I'll be assembling this gun from their rifle kit. I'm not a 'mag dump' guy, so I'll be handloading for this rig. I'll use some factory Black Hills stuff to break it in.
I'm gonna peruse as many 'build' posts I can, and learn what I need to get this toy built and shooting.
Thanks for reading, -West out
