SHOOTER13 Posted February 6, 2017 Report Posted February 6, 2017 Just joined your forum and I'm looking forward to sharing lessons learned and increasing my knowledge of firearms. I've been an avid collector of firearms for close to 40 years and enjoy both single and double action pistols and revolvers, semi-auto, lever, and bolt action rifles, semi-auto, pump, over/under, and side x side shotguns, and military weapons from pre-WWII to the present... Right now...I'm in the market for a 7.62x51 AR.
Armed Eye Doc Posted February 6, 2017 Report Posted February 6, 2017 Welcome to the forum. There are many 308AR's to choose from. They are not all interchangeable like AR15's, so be sure to ask if you have any questions.
SHOOTER13 Posted February 6, 2017 Author Report Posted February 6, 2017 (edited) Thanks... I'm here to learn. I was visiting a list of .308AR manufacturer sites when I found this forum. Any suggestions will be appreciated...I will be using the platform to ring steel and eventually hunt deer here in Pennsylvania. =========== HARRISBURG, PA. The Pennsylvania Game Commission has given preliminary approval to letting hunters use semi-automatic rifles and shotguns. Tuesday's move comes in the wake of a new law Gov. Tom Wolf signed in November, that gives the game commission the authority to regulate semi-automatic rifles, shotguns and air guns. The commission will hold a final vote on the measure at its next quarterly meeting March 27-28, 2017 in Harrisburg. The use of semi-automatic rifles for hunting has been debated by legislators in some form since 2011. Edited February 6, 2017 by SHOOTER13

We need a good two week freeze to keep the summer creepy crawly bugs in check. The friggen springtails, pillbugs, spiders and the damn ticks, will be in full force without the freeze. On another note, tomorrows forecast is for 73 degrees.
