View Full Version : Hello ! New old guy here!
Hello everyone.
In my quest for knowledge, I stumbled upon this forum. Looks like a wealth of information!
I've only recently gotten back "into" AR15 style rifles after a long hiatus. Here is what pulled me back:

Is this the correct forum area for this?
I've ordered an Aimpoint ML2 for it, and I'm searching for a good deal on ammo.
Anyway, great forum!
Nice looking rifle, rdnzl - and I'm glad I'm not the only reborn old fart. :)
The technology has certainly changed over the last 10-15 years!
Hello everyone.

Welcome to the forum. Be prepared to never go to different forum again, you'll like it alot here:)
I'm 55 going on 21.
My ex wife said I'd never grow up. I think she was right.....that biatch!!!
My last foray into AR's was back about 1995. And your right, there certainly has been more then a few advances in technology since then.
I'm 53 and new to the forum too. Not growing up and not growing old are two different things.:)
Nice rifle!
I'm in the same boat. Alot HAS changed with ARs and the 1911 too. I saw it all coming. I don't NEED things like full rails and pistons so I avoid them. But what does NEED have to do with? To each his own. I do smile upon noticing the rush of many to lighten up their rifles after loading them down.
No old farts here. 50 is the new 40.
BCM 14.5" mid-length AAC Blackout.

Welcome , this is the right place to learn about the AR. There's been an explosion in US experience & knowledge in the AR family (especially the Carbine sub-species ) since 9/11.
The sticky info here is great and the search feature can answer many questions and help to shape others.
Is it deja vu or have I seen this post somewhere? I'm new to this forum, too...as well as the other one. :rolleyes:
Anyway, all kinds of great information here.
Before I found this place, I posted about this rifle on another forum.
oh yeah, sorry about that. I should've quoted the OP's post.
Clarification is a sovereign remedy for confusion.

I am new here as well. The help and knowledge has been a huge benefit in assisting me to choose my first AR wisely. (picking up my new DDXV this afternoon). And here it is, fresh out of the bag:

Thank everyone for being so helpful and upfront.
Good eye for dogs TNT 1106. He's the real deal, as is yours. Great looking pup.

thanks, not to derail, but my pup seems to be off duty more than on duties most days...:D

Your not an "old guy"! Welcome. I have learned so much from this forum. Nice rifle.

Nice shepherd. King of breeds. Get him or her working. They love a job.
I'll be 65 in a few days. Good knowledge base on this forum,esp. with the AR's.
Danged bunch o' young whipper snappers!:D
If I ever get to old or stubborn to learn I'd just as soon have 'em go ahead and throw the dirt on me. Keep an open mind,always.:cool:
Anyone know what type of muzzle break this is? I'd not seen one until I got this rifle.

Another old guy here - 62 and I built my first AR last year. Well not my first, Uncle Sam loaned me an M16 in 'Nam! :p

The Vortex is very, very good as a flash hider. For a long time, the Vortex was the best flash hider on the market. Now, the AAC Blackout is out, and it's a hair or two better, but you basically need night vision equipment to tell the difference.
By the way, it will make a "PING" noise, like a tuning fork, when you fire it. Some people can hear it, some can't. It's normal.

Some of us old farts are well armed !
I'm so old I don't know how to post pictures, and was called an Air Policeman in Nam, and had no police training untill I had been on the road for 12 years, and carried an M-2 carbine and .38 S&W untill AR-15 came out. But hey the good is I can now go back to motorcycles, and do not have to retreat, well maybe could for 100 yards. Nice site and lots of info:cool: PS still a good shot just have to use scopes:p

What's up with the tongue ? Just curious. Since you are old you prolly know what would happen if you tried to lick the frost off a cast iron pump handle at about 20 below.

Then again , maybe not.

Nice try.
Usually , in general , the individuals who are the most welcome on m4carbine mean what they say & say what they mean , stay in their own lanes , and
don't shit where they want to eat. That's the way it has always looked to me , anyway.

WTF climbed up YOUR ass?
I explained why the smiley wasn't to your liking, now give it a ****ing rest.
Get back in your lane.

Most people do a certain amount of lurking and reading before they post much . YKWIM , understand the traditions , customs , and folkways of the new ( to them ) forum.

Oh. I guess I should have noticed that YOU must be the big dog in the prison yard who I am expected to perform oral sex on. Sorry, my bad.
All over a misused smiley........wow. Get life.

Actually , I'm a guest here on m4carbine . Other people have worked very hard and very smart to build , protect , and grow the forum.
This thread is boring , so I'm leaving.
Remember, you were the one who crapped in it.
I'm just a new guy who got his ass jumped on by some old guy with an attitude problem.
