    Well technically this is gun # six. But this is only the second AR. It stated when my wife and I attended our first show in over 10 years and I bought a new upper. When I mated it to the lower of the off the shelf AR I bought a couple of months ago my wife says "the color's don't match, what do we need to do to match them?" I said we'll! Lol.... It started. But I ran into a few bumps. I had discovered the barrel on the new upper was not MD compliant even tho I was it was. But being a noob I did not know enough to check. In a panic i ordered a new Barrel and switched it out. But in talking with some of you guys on here I'have learned that there were better barrels than the one I got so I had ordered another Barrel which will be the basis of my next build.

    I have a mechanical engineering background which my wife hates cause everything I buy I see it want to take it apart figure out how it works and put it back together so I can make it work better. My first Passion is cars. I have three race cars which most of you know is super super expensive. For the cost of the carbon fiber steering wheel in my 17 RS I could buy the current top of the line AR right now and probably have money left over for ammo. Lol. But what's nice is both my wife and I can shoot where as she can not drive the cars and I can build the gun in house and be home more then being at the shop.

    So yes I have been bitten by the bug. Lol

    Build 2 I think i am going to go for a long range scope setup... Long barrel, good scope... That kinda thing

    How do we know it is yours? We don't see your feet.....

    LOL... So funny you say that. The last part came in the mail that day and I threw it on and was excited! I said done now! So I took a couple of pictures to share and in the pictures you could see my bear feet and the mess on the table... So i cropped the pictures.... Then you go and ask where are your feet. Lol
