USMCbassman Posted December 30, 2012 Report Posted December 30, 2012 Hi, my name is Shane...I like guns A LOT, I've responsibly played with them in public, private, peace time and combat for almost my whole life! Sorry, I always feel like I'm at a meeting when I introduce myself and I can be a smart@$$ sometimes. Anyways, I currently reside in SoCal and am a resident of Kansas (I only go back to KS to see family and hunt); eventually I'll end up a resident of CA as my wife's job will keep us here for another 20 or so years. I like the weather here, but I don't like the gun laws. I've been in the Marine Corps (AD) for almost 16 years now, I'm a husband and father of 3. When I'm not doing the Marine thing I'm either hanging with the family, fishing, hunting, riding my Harley, snowboarding or just chilling in my chair at the house. I have to many interests and not enough time. Tomorrow I will be the proud owner of a DPMS .308 stripped lower; currently waiting for it to be liberated from the Feds or they're waiting for me to cool off, not real sure. I can't remember how I stumbled upon the forum and I have never built an AR/rifle before, but I'm not scared to do a little research and ask questions when they need to be asked. Well that about it sums it up, I'm hoping to learn a lot and get to know some of you all! Happy New Year!

Thanks again everyone!
tex45acp Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 USMCbassman,Like the others have said, thank you for your service. My son is an Airborne Ranger, stationed in Savanah, GA. I have been curious as to the quality of the DPMS .308's. I had one of their AR-15's a couple of years ago and had all kinds of problems with it. I changed to Rock River Arms and have had nothing but great luck with them. The only reason I have an Armalite AR10 instead of an RRA AR10 is the deal I got on it. I hope your goves you meny thousand rounds of problem free shooting.
unforgiven Posted January 2, 2013 Report Posted January 2, 2013 And THANK your son from us for his service to this great country of our's brother Tex. <thumbsup>
98Z5V Posted January 3, 2013 Report Posted January 3, 2013 My son is an Airborne Ranger, stationed in Savanah, GA. Hell yeah, man - 1st Ranger Bn. <thumbsup>Rangers Lead The Way!
Forsaken Arms Posted January 21, 2013 Report Posted January 21, 2013 Welcome brother, are you at Pendleton or Miramar?
f16_fixr Posted January 27, 2013 Report Posted January 27, 2013 I am a 25 year Air Force veteran (still serving in the full-time Air Guard) and just wanted to say THANK YOU for your devoted service! I have a great deal of respect for anyone in the USMC. My uncle did 2 tours in 'Nam in the MC and somehow made it back alive. Keep up the good work!
