Hi folks,

I'm a new member from Houston who just purchased a S&W M&P 15. I grew up around Chicago so I was pretty unfamiliar to guns until moving to Houston 1.5 years ago. I have several handguns and have always had an interest in guns so an AR seemed like a good choice. I'm hoping to get involved in hunting and learning about the AR-15 from a technical perspective (I am an engineer). Any advice about cleaning/maintaining the AR-15 would be appreciated and hopefully I'll be able to contribute as well.

Thanks,
Dave
