Hello From the Left Coast

Hello to all from the left coat.
A little about mineself:
I retired 3 years ago after 38 years as a journeyman machinist/ tool maker. I've got 40 + years trigger time behind the M1, 03-A3, and other milsurp rifles shooting mostly XTC and MR matches. I also used to shoot in a live-fire Civil War target club. I've been reloading for about 45 years as well. I bought my first-ever AR15 two years ago, I got tired of being beat before I ever got to the matches. I wanted to at least have a fighting chance. I'm still learning how to drive it, if you know what I mean. I hope to do some learnin' here, as well as contribute when I can.
I've got a pretty well-rounded education when it comes to firearms. My father, a WWII vet, got me interested in firearms at a very young age. Thanks, Dad.
Ok, I've rambled enough, I'll let you go.
Thanks for letting me aboard.

Jon

Sweet. I did that for nearly 20 years, started at 17. For the last few years have been primarily machining steel and aluminum, which is fun, but I like tool making better.
