Howdy Folks,
New member to the forum from Abilene TX. A little background:
Trained on the M14 in college Army ROTC back in the early 70's, shot with the Ft. Polk rifle team once in the early 80's on one of their NM M14's. Over the years I've owned a Beretta BM62, and a Polytech M14. Also had an HK91 and currently have a couple of FAL's, a German G1 and an Austrian STG58, both built on DCI receivers.
I recently bought an SAI M1A, built mainly with GI parts, stainless medium contour match barrel. Back to my first love!
I retired from the local Sheriff's Office in 2007 as a Sergeant, where I served in many capacities, one of which was Department Rangemaster and Armorer for 15 years. Trained at Gunsite, Thunder Ranch, and several other allied schools and trainers. Have spent the last several years participating in the Jeff Cooper Reunion at NRA Whittington Center, and served as an asst. RO at the Rocky Mountain 3 Gun. Participated in IPSC as a competitor and RO back in the early days as well. (Practical pistol and rifle matches back in the late 70's and early 80's.)
Looking forward to participating in the forums!
