raf Posted August 18, 2014 Report Posted August 18, 2014 Hey guys, just checking in. I just join today and still checking out the site. I came over from AR10T.com site and it looks good so far. I have been working with the AS style platform since I first got trained on them at Bien Hoa AB, RVN. I entered the USAF in 1966 and first qualified with the M-14 at Lackland AFB, Tx. So when I got in country I was surprised to get handed an M-16. Didn't like it then and had a lot of friends in the field who didn't like them either. I continued to qualify with this gun for the next 24 years. When I retired from the service, I entered law enforcement I qualified with my side arm and pump shotgun. We didn't go to duty carbines until the mid '90's. I ended becoming a DCJS qualified firearms instructor. Been doing that work official until about 2012. I ended up buying an Armalite AS-10 and am having a ball. This gun was made for the 7.62 round for sure!! for now I am shooting Lake City ammo from CMP. I do reload, but not ready for this gun. I also have two AR-15's and shoot military ammo in them. I also own an M-1A, which is my go to hell gun for sure. As of now I shoot German NATO rounds in it. Sorry for writing a book. But High!!!

Matt.Cross Posted August 20, 2014 Report Posted August 20, 2014 Armalites are like fat chicks, they need lovin' too and it takes a special breed to make that happen.... :D Welcome to the forums!

blue109 Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 since we seem to have scared off the new guy in record time...made more impressive by the fact that 98 hasn't even posted yet...I move that we turn this into the official armalite bash thread. do I have a second?
98Z5V Posted August 21, 2014 Report Posted August 21, 2014 We didn't scare him off - he's planning his counterattack. Welcome, raf! Watch out for R2...
