MarkTheNewf Posted February 9, 2018 Report Posted February 9, 2018 Originally from the far flung never-to-be comfortable island of Newfoundland, Canada. Arrived in Texas a little over 19 years ago and adopted the "when in Rome" style as it pertains to firearms. I am getting rid of my FAL and going back to an AR10, so here I am. Howdy, dammit! Am currently and possibly proud owner of a Windham Weaponry AR10. 16.5" barrel with 1:10, I do believe. Just got finished putting in a Geisle 2-stage trigger and am mounting up the scope. No name on the rifle yet, though.
Armed Eye Doc Posted February 10, 2018 Report Posted February 10, 2018 Welcome to the forum. Where in Texas are you? I'm a little south of Dallas.

Wash Heh....it's flooded in and around me 3 times the past two years. However, don't mistake ugly for stupid! We looked at maps and whatnot before we got the house and even though we're near the Brazos river, we're on the high side of the flood plains' ridge. In other words, when it floods, it floods away from us east towards Houston and south. We can sit on our back porch and watch air boats zip along what used to be dry land a couple of hundred yards away. I won't like, though.....we did get flood insurance for the past few years just because!

Welcome from central Texas, anyone ready for some BASEBALL? I s'pose. I'm just sitting back wondering if they really will bring a NHL team here. I can manage to watch football, but baseball is up there with golf and grass growing.
mrmackc Posted February 11, 2018 Report Posted February 11, 2018 Nope, we aren't much for ice skating fighting! it is right up there with ice fishing for alligators. we have two MLB teams , ever heard of The Texas Rangers and the Houston Astros?
