I've heard great things about this forum and thought it was time I joined. It's alway's an asset to read of members who have experienced certain situations that are of intrest to myself and others concerning related problems, and or solutions. I've been around military weapons while serving, and have collected, shot, and experienced many weapon platforms over the years. Being older, I have come to the conclusion to have the best when afordable, and have weeded out my collection over the years to get to the point I am now. The 1911 platform is my most favorite of the pistol world, but I have, and use others as well. In the 1911 world I like Fusion Firearms built to my spec's, but have some others to include Sigarms, and STI as well. I like some other pistol platforms to include Sigarms, Glock, and others. I like AR's, AK's, Sniper rifles ect. LWRC, Rock River Arms, and Gun Smoke Enterprises round out my AR intrests. Arsenal, and a few custom builds complete my AK47, AK74, and Krink platforms. Sniper rifles which intrest me are mostly Sako, Remington, Ruger, and Savage Arms. Shotguns are mostly Remington. And finaly my querky intrest in single action cowboy guns and shotguns include EMF Great Western's, and Norinco Lever 1887 repro. I look forward to posting, and reading area's of intrest from other members. Having good intell makes you a better soldier, and from a few of the posts I have read here, there alot of good people, with good ideas. Thank you for sharing, Capttom1.
