Another great example of veteran success that not enough of America knows. Has his head screwed on tight and is helping a lot of other vets by mentoring in short stints when asked for tips on business. As a vet I never thought I'd fear for the survival of my country in my lifetime. Now I spend my time trying to just help other vets get on with life one day at a time and pay it forward to other brothers and sisters. This is one of those sterling examples I enjoy listening to every time I find one of his interviews.

As you can see, your time here should be interesting. Welcome to the farm from middle Georgia...

One multi generational vet to another, welcome from middle Georgia. Hope you enjoy your time here brother...

Welcome to the site from another noob in middle Georgia.

Welcome from middle Georgia and hope you get some cheap meds for that problem brother!

Glad to have ya fro middle Georgia, hope you enjoy the ribbing and info here!

See what I mean? Consistent advice!! Naw, all of this so far is great. Glad I've been buying random boxes of 168 grn Gold Medal Match. But i'll probably get at least a box of the 175s and some of the other premium stuff to see what groups best for when I get around to hand loading. I'm gonna miss being only a couple hours from the Sierra plant and Midway. Probably better for the 36 year marriage. What's the deal with companies coming out with dual extractors? Is that a problem I never heard of in ARs? And is a tungsten buffer a concern initially? See jtallen? I can spend money on a par with any Ranger, ask the wife...

Welcome to the site, and I think I saw some thank you for your service. So, from another old vet thanks again from another former Tarheel. Born and raised on the Intracoastal Waterway. Wish I was still there a lot of the time. My blood pressure would drop 5 points if I just smell salt water. Hope to "see ya" on the boards!

Welcome and good for you brother. Gotta be hard to do those projects in the environment up there right now, but hope you get the info you need here. Stay safe and buttoned up for now!

Welcome from middle Georgia. Seemed to like the region when I worked the Stampede Pass Rail project before the "turn of the century" , but you're right some folks have ruined a couple of really pretty states up there! Anyway welcome and like me hope you find the info you need and more...

Welcome from middle Georgia. And from another veteran of the Aloha State and Hotel Street...

Welcome from middle Georgia! Hope you find lots to think about!

Welcome from another newcomer to the site. Hope you get ALL the knowledge!

I've enjoyed lots of the posts I've been reading and the respect and apparent lack of comprehension skills some folks have when they ask a question, then get straight stooped when you "esplain" it five different ways and they still don't get it I'll try not to fall into THAT category. ...New to the forum or wouldn't be here. Been burning powder since '63. Old Recondo dude, lots of AKs and other .308s, but have never owned a .308 AR. Thought about the whole .308 battle rifle semi platform since I've shot them all in some interesting places. But here in the US, I figure after buying one about the only thing I'll need will probably be components if I get back into reloading. It would be interesting to build one and maybe in the future it could happen. But for right now I'm just looking to buy one. Started buying PMAGS since that seems to be "standard" ( I'll try to refrain from using THAT word often). I looked at everything up to $2500. Due to a drunk driver, I will have money. That being said, even as a gun dealer I never bought a firearm over $800. Now I know I'll be spending more, but here's where I went. Like the idea of piston systems, but even tho somewhat "cleaner" they appear more finicky. Adams and POF were what I saw that seemed reliable (SIG fans don't stroke out). DPMS Oracle, Bushmaster XM, Windham Weaponry, Springfield Armory and Diamondback....Hmmm DPMS and Bushmaster got screwed by the holding company; Springfield doesn't have a long enough track record yet, DB seems ok by quite a few here on the site; haven't found a lot here on Windham yet. The Oracle seemed like the bulletproof pick even tho the company went down since so much of the industry goes off their specs. Liked what I saw from the long interview from POF owner, but once again, poop for that kind of money I could buy a used .308 and a ton of ammo...Just looking for more info and insight. I REALLY liked the DB .308 pistol, but Missouri's 300-400 yard shots still are in my head. I'm in Warner Robins, GA now and middle to southern Ga I can still see 300-700 yard shots so I think I'm tied to at least a 16" pipe. Give me some thoughts folks, I'm not a sensitive dude...98Z5V and you other "bringers of rain" gimme an intel dump, all you guys, the more the merrier. I know some of the issues of PSA, I also know the owners are trying to get more guns into Americans hands, although I agree they shouldn't be using us a beta-testers too, so let's not chew that poop sandwich right now. I will try to respond as soon as I can, but I work for the VA so you know I"m slo...make that meticulous...
