Hey guys
FNG here from the PHX area, on the down hill side of 50. I am. VP of Vehicle Survivibility Programs for a company that builds armor system for the US and NATO military.
Been shooting since i was 6, hunted the crap out of AZ until about 30, then my focus switched to paper, steel and clay. Shoot Tuesday Night Steel when I am in town, sporting clays to support local groups and Glocks at Caswells during lunch a few times a month.
Been shooting AR platforms at the range and take tactical classes when ever i get a chance. Just built 2 new ones over Christmas break. Shot and quallified [MENTION=15766]rio[/MENTION] for the CMP program 20 ish years ago and got my CMP Garand while they were still $400. Scored 454 on the qual including 4 shots to adjust the sights after two shot in front of me on the same gun
Started to build a AR10 around Thanksgiving thinking of kind of the "lay a way plan" picking up a stripped lower the week of T-Giving. Then NewTown happened and all of the parts that were everywhere vanished.
So i sit here after 5 months with a complete DPMS LR-308 lower waitng on a sanely priced upper of any length and barrel to show up from back order and a few K of 308/762 ammo and nothing to "send it" with.
So now if the deal holds up, Sat @ 11 AM I will take possession of a new 700SPS Varmint 308 in a trade for some silver. This will at least get me a launching platform that I can, like the AR10 platform, build on the "layway plan" as time goes on.
I will probably take a few "safe queens" out and use that for upgrades as time goes by.
So looking fwd to learning from the "shooters" here.
