I meant that comment in a good way my friend. To me, you, Matt and Drew are the backbone of this outfit! <thumbsup>

 

That's high praise, but we are in good company. Madhouse, Microgunner, DNP, and a whole host of others were here making this place great long before I arrived. Drew made a really good point one time that helped me decide I really wanted to be part of this community. I'm paraphrasing here, but he effectively said "Egos will have to be checked at the door to be a member here. We all come to this site to enjoy ourselves and share a common interest, anyone who can't understand that doesn't belong here." That's when I knew this place was going to be around for the long haul, and I've enjoyed it thoroughly ever since. I respect all the staff and senior members without exception, and I'm proud to be a contributing member. I have yet to find an online firearm-themed forum that can even mildly compare to the ones that Drew runs.

As I said in my first post it takes everyone to make this work. I also like to see how folks help, contribute, pickup the slack etc. The FB page is coming along very well. We have guys going to shoot some video, Robocop has noticed I dont have the horsepower for group buys so he's on that like a man on fire etc. There's the news gatherers, comic relief, enablers you name it. Techmike at T22 started our first ever postal match.I like that I dont have to do everything. That frees me up to beg for money and generate content.

Lets not forget the new members who join to ask questions or just want a place to hang.

I'll come out and say it for all of the guys here (new and old).......THIS PLACE ROCKS!

 

And I guess that I'll be the taint if nobody else will. Hell......I've been called worse by blood relatives. I'll take this group of guys over a lot of them anyday. At least all of us guys have the same mindset, morals and ideals.

 

Besides.....with me at the wheel and the waterhead (you know who you are) riding shotgun in the shortbus.........we're always gonna have a good time. <lmao> The rest of you jokers keep the coolers full and keep passin the cold ones forward. <laughs>

 

On a serious note though. This is the ONLY forum that I follow and stay involved in. The others have waaayyyyy too many egos involved. This place follows the rule that we're all equals (except Lord Drew), and we all have our own particular viewpoint or perspective that we approach the hobby (passion) from. AND, we're all here to help each other.

 

End of sermon.

As you were.

Carry on.

I belong to several gun forums and this one is the one that most of my time is spent on, hell I can't even remember the last time I've been to Rimfire central and that forum would have the 2nd highest post count out all the forums I belong to this one is first as far as goes. I like how you guy's treat each other and willing to listen I only hope that some day we can all meet for some fun shooting and bullshitting. For some reason I feel I can talk to you guy's like a bro from work or a fishing buddy. Drew you and the staff have done a great job here <thumbsup>  <thumbsup>

The list of new guys that say they have been lurkers checking out the site,joining and introducing themselfs is a testament to to positive energy on this forum. <thumbsup>  And to all tose brother that have added me as a friend warms mt heart.Thank you.I feeel the same way as I do about all the other members here.I just to d u m to punch it in. :)) While we are on :love4:  trip.I have asked one of our members to help sell my arms when my time comes to an end,so the wife doesn't get screwed on the value of said items.Hope at least the Garand is kept in the family,don't have alot of gun lovers in the family aside from the wife.Unless the grandkids [ jacka or Magen] get into it.I can't say who it is [he's a shy bastard] but he has alot of heart and didn't hesitate to help a brother out.This has given me great peace of mind. 8)

I'll add my voice here. I love this forum. Good folks, good information on building these wonderful rifles, great deals on things, and help, not hassles from the members. There are some 308-rifle forums that became nothing but mutual admiration societies of the same self-proclaimed experts pontificating on why they're right and everyone else is wrong. Not here. Great forum. I'd like to see a multi-day shoot sometime.

 This place follows the rule that we're all equals (except Lord Drew),...

He's about to dragged down to "becoming an equal," about the May timeframe. 
 
 
 
 
With a sneak attack, AT his fridge, at midnight.  When he's least expecting it.  I'll leap outta that fridge, grab that ass in a rear naked choke, Ron tosses the black hood over him, Rene duct tapes his head shut, Matt flex-cuffs his feet while Jay (in an unexpected trip, suddenly) handcuffs his wrists and smacks him in the mellon with a PR-24...
 

And the trip finally "begins..."  :bat:  <laughs> <lmao>

 

I'll waterboard the FUK outta him until he tells us ALL his secrets - in the back of that van...  :banana: :banana:

Thank you for providing a site where any outsider like myself can come and ask questions and get a huge education on the building of these rifles and over time feel like you fit in and are one of the guys (even if you do out fish most of them) :) have not met any of you yet hope to in the future but this place is family . I hope it stays that way you never know when the time may come we may need each others help...

the only other forum I know of that is close is weapons guild (gun building, they frown on ARs there as that's just assembly), but they aren't very big on fun there, joking around will get your posts deleted, and you possibly banned. But everyone is super friendly and helpful. I like it here better :)
