I joined this forum back in April of 2013. The main reason was to learn more about my gun and learn how to modify and upgrade it if needed. I never would have thought that I would be on this forum almost daily for the past couple of years.
This place, this community has not only given me a wealth of information, but has become almost addictive. I love checking in to see what everyone has been up to with their latest projects, builds and reloading.
I have had my questions answered with respect and friendliness. Bottom line this place is awesome.
So..what does any of that have to do with a pistol build?
After deciding that I wanted to build a 300 Blackout Pistol I wanted to purchase the things that I could for the build from members here.
Shibiwan want was obviously up to something, so I contacted him. If he was making his own lowers I definetly wanted one. He wasn't quite ready with them so I waited, and although it doesn't say "Merchant of Doubt" on it, it is really nice. I told him what I wanted in an upper and he built just what I wanted. I spent just a hair over my budget but how can you pass up cerakote?
Next up, I had to get a Beachin Tactical sling because how can you not want to support a guy like Brothers Beach!
I know I'm not the first to do this, and I sure hope I'm not the last. These guys make great products so why not support them and indirectly this community.
