New guy in the forums

[Moto_Machinist]

Hi guys (and gals!!). Just joined after much lurking. I've always loved shooting (mostly .22) ever since I was younger. Joined Boy Scouts just for that reason, then stopped because they stopped shooting things

Main reasons I'm here:
-I'm a machinist (mostly avionics panels) and want to try my hand at machining an 80% lower as my first AR to own
-Just soaking in all the info on the welcome page, numerous posts, and other sources listed from the welcome page.

GOALS

What I am looking to build:
-Maybe an AR pistol (SSE initially)
-Just a bare bones AR build (taking to the range and getting comfy shooting)
-Then, making a legitimate $1500 or so AR rifle build
