Hello all.

I have been lurking here for awhile and enjoy the forum so I figured today I would become a Team Member and say hi.

I built two 5.56 AR's years ago. Then I found AR15.com and that made me buy parts for a couple of retro builds I am working on. Then I saw the variants link out there and the Grendel. Thought about doing one of those but the cost and lack of availability put me off.

Then I saw the 6.8SPC and found this forum. Now I am buying parts again (I have a 16" Kotonics barrel and an 18" WOA barrel, and 500 rounds of Hornady 110gr BTHP). So I am off to a good start but am still buying pieces so I can start those builds. The 6.8SPC will also get me into reloading and I know I will have a lot of questions about that.

Anyway, I have enjoyed reading the posts here and find you guys very knowledgeable and helpful.

I don't get a lot of build time as my wife and I are completely remodeling our house and yard. We have a complete woodshop and I am now buying machine tools for a metal shop. I have a MIG welder and my first machine tool purchase was an Altas Model 7B metal shaper built in the mid 40's. Looking for a lathe now.

Anyway, I guess I am starting to ramble so I will sign off.

Look forward to particpating here and thanks for all the info.

Welcome aboard Norm. When you are done remodeling, stop by NJ and my wife will put your skills to good use. She is a great cook and will feed you well. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

I think you mean more like 2110. :lol: :lol: :lol:
The more things I finish around the house, the more my wife has ready for me to do. So now I take my time and pace myself so I don't have something new to do every week.

You're probably right. My wife is a good sport though. she doesn't care that we have no trim in the house for now! And this is better than when we lived in a tent building a place :lol:
