Howdy everyone!

Found this forum a few months ago and been lurking since, figured I should register and introduce myself...

I live in CO currently, but for the last 10 years or so have spend on average about 1/3-1/2 of each year in TX (mostly N. Texas) for work/visiting; love the State and have a handful of long-time friends down here...

Small-town born & raised, redneck engineer, long-term enthusiast & collector of firearms (and various-era weapons in-general), big 2A supporter, do most of my own gunsmithing & Form1-related machining, and looking forward to participating on the forums!

Thanks everyone for the warm welcome!

Don't have much in the way of "shop" pics at the moment; I've been trying to free up some space lately and am currently down to just a small lathe in the garage, but there's a Makerspace near me with a full accoutrement of full-size machinery avaliable when needed (w/ 24/7 member access)...

That said, while I'm usually pretty restrained about posting pics online, given how everybody enjoys a good bit of gunporn and I've seen a few recent threads related to 6.5CM rigs, I'll throw-down with these...

Recent 6.5CM build, the F1 can it's wearing is one of my initial designs (w/purchased caps/tube):

Glamour shot from a recent "quiet" afternoon hanging out at a buddy's farm:

Where did you get those AR pistol cases and how much did they cost you? If you don't mind me asking.

Picked up that case a few years ago at a small local shop. Here's a link to the same one on Amazon, priced in same ballpark as what I paid (about $90)...

I've found it to be the perfect size for "intermediate" sized AR pistols/SBRs, KSG, MPX-k w/ can, etc., but is just a bit too large for the really short ones (e.g. - unsupressed 3-6" uppers, etc.)

Um, howdy? Native Texan. Spent 2013-2016 in Falcon, CO. Travelled most of the state. What parts of CO are you at?

My wife likes Mesa Verda and Grand Junction. I prefer Routt County and the immediate area that’s forested.

Gunnison/Crested Butte is nice, but too touristy for me.

Let’s not talk about the Maroon Bells area....beautiful but spoiled.

Currently in NoCo/N. Denver area, but plan to relocate somewhere a bit more remote at some point when that becomes feasible...

Lots of scenic and awesome places in CO, thats for sure. Been here nearly 2 decades and still exploring...

Too bad the Denver/Boulder area sets the political atmosphere for the rest of the state.
