Hello all. I have been lurking and reading here for quite some time now. Through my reading here I have chosen a Remington 700 5r milspec as my first long range rifle. I'm looking forward to running some ammo through it and learning a new skill.

By trade I am a machinist. I program and operate a cnc machining center (cnc mill with a tool changer). My boss is pretty cool as guns go. I'm able to bring in whatever the "gun of the month" is and work on it during my lunch :cool:

Anyway, I'm happy to finally be part of the forum here!
 
I'm in Iowa, home of the brave, land of the.....uh corn ;) Thanks for the welcome! I haven't done any real interesting projects lately. I'm half way through a Saiga 7.62 conversion if that interests anyone. And I built my own AR armorer's vise about a year ago. Other than that, I've been just doing work at work. (strange concept I know)
