    Greetings and salutations, fellow enthusiasts! New on the forum, and fairly new to gun ownership and guns in general.
    I grew up in a no-gun environment for most of my life. My family had no interest, though not really against them, they just weren't for them, and thus by they weren't for me. I grew up in Baltimore City, but always had a love for all things outdoors. I had been hunting for small game a couple times, in Jarrettsville, at a family friends house, and I fell in love with shooting. Fast forward to my 30's, and I finally decided that I was going to get a gun. But I wasn't just going to buy one off the shelf, oh no! I wanted to BUILD it out of an 80% receiver. So I did. That build was an AR15 in .223/556, and I FELL IN LOVE with the process of building. I soon discovered 80% glocks, and 80% MUP FCUs. I am currently working on a g19, g21, g26 and a P320 FCU (if the jig ever comes back in stock!). Anyways, that's roughly my story! Thanks for reading!

    Welcome from Davidsonville. :wave:

    Make sure you attach some weights to those pieces of plastic so if you have a boating accident, they will be sure to sink. :rolleyes:

    Welcome from MoCo and a hat tip for diving right into building and tinkering with your own firearms - that’s a great way to get on board.
