serious22plinker Posted April 26, 2010 Report Share Posted April 26, 2010 :beer:Hey everyone!name is Chris. been raised on 22's and just cant put them down.my pop started me off on a ruger 10/22 when i was old enough to hold it up. hooked on rimfire ever since.between my dad and i, we've got a ruger mkII, AR-7 pistol, walther TPH, the already mentioned ruger 10/22 that's got a muzzelite bullpup conversion and a butler creek 25rnd mag.then last night my father in law came over and told me to sit at the dinner table and close my eyes, dont look until he says "open them".i hear wrustling of carboard and a familiar smell of... saddle oil? no- GUN OIL. "open them."OH MY GOD!!!it was a brand new Colt AR-22!the collection grows and also proves further that i have the most awesome father in law on the planet.havent shot it yet but i cant friggin wait. i've always liked the feel of the M4 and this is as close as i can get to the real thing here in california. i own a couple of M4 airsofts (marui) and used an M16a2 during some training in fort jackson, SC. (btw i am active duty navy going on 10 years now)i am looking forward to seeing what kind of goodies i can get for this colt, both for functional improvement (if needed?) and for tactical enhancement... (optics, RIS, etc...)cool forums here and cant wait to interact with you all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
