Where will your location be in Iowa? I'm in the west central part of the state, not much for shops around here, just a few garage's and basement's you can order stuff from.

Thanks for the info and invitations J. Please do keep us posted on whatever you come up with or have news on for us all to check out. :thumbs: :thumbs: :thumbs:

I'm David. 45 years old, and have been a CHL, Firearms, Tactical Firearms, Firearms Safety Instructor (in one form or another) for 25+ years now and prior to that was a Paramedic and Phlebotomist. About two years ago started having some seriois health and leg issues. My wife booted me not knowing what was wrong and I lost everything.. turned out to be MS. Now I'm trying to piece things back into a life while I still have one. Haven't been able to teach in a while but hope to do it again. Still love to shoot and discuss firearms and legal. Currently working on an ArmaLite AR10 lower I have completed as of last July actually but because of parts being scarce, my inability to pay a large BULK sum at once.. only payments that would be steady and timely, the legislation going on around us, and also the fact I cannot drive to get to shows or stores.. only purchase parts online, I have been unable to complete my rifle yet. Bummers. Anyways, any questions.. ask away. I'm not too shy as you can tell.

No questions at this point David - just a big smile and WELCOME :welcome: to the home of the Big Bang ARs Sir !! :thumbs:


Glad to have another first responder aboard as I've been a volunteer fireman for over 35 years now - kind of a "family business" for my line.

Damn sorry to hear about your troubles but happy and proud to have you aboard.

Look around, do some reading and ask about anything you can't seem to find and our Gurus should have you fixed up in no time. :thumbs:

Sharkey :)

Thanks Sharkey. It has been a LONG time since i did any first responder action but must admit it STILL runs in my blood daily with the things I see and do. And I'll build up a profile and some pics and stuff here in time. My puter fried in my lap a while back so I do ALL my net work over my cell phone these days, limiting my ability above my already limited knowledge! But I'm home 24/7 and using my phone as an outlet to the world so I hope to learn from you guys. With my build Iwas going to get an ArmaLite U10TBF upper receiver/barrel assembly, add a nice scope mount and scope, and set it up for the long distance shots that my friends swear I am so adept at making naturally. But talking with ArmaLite anout two weeks ago tbey had 3 in stock and were making no more. My finances don't allow me to throw down a chunk at one time for a deposit but I CAN make STEADY payments with ease. They needed a bunch up front so I was SOL. Surely they are gone now. I like the "bare" top of the receiver and barrel with it all flat, nothing but my mounts to out on a scope or such. Anyway, I am hoping to find someone I can work out a deal I can pay them monthly until paid in full and then I'll take recept of my parts. I will even sign a purchasers agreement providing it all looks good. Just don't know how much longer I'll be shooting and want to enjoy it while I can. Then pass it on to the guy who helped me out all these years and who actually got me into the shooting "hobby" years ago.

Wow. Sounds like a tough seat to be in but you sound positive so stick around and see what you can find on here.

Guys always have good leads to parts and other stuff and perhaps you'll stumble into something that'll work for you if you keep your eyes peeled dtg.

Sorry to hear you are out of the main game. You aren't missing much and I'm not as active as I used to be myself but it'll always be in the blood. I'm 4th generation Fire Fighter so whether I like it or not, it comes with the name...

Keep your eyes open and do some posting. You never know what kind of good things can happen on here... :thumbs:
