Newbie from SW Florida

[Arce]

New to the forum, new to 6.5 Grendel. Actually pretty new to SW Florida too. Only been here a year. Tough the beat the weather here in the winter. Easy to beat the firearms laws, etc in Maryland where I formerly resided. And, have I mentioned the lack of state income tax here? I'm a fan of the AR platform and a deer hunter so figured I'd give the 6.5 Grendel a shot. Hoping to at least try a bit of hog hunting down here once I'm dialed in.

In retirement, I'm trying to spread my wings a bit. Going to do a few AR builds including starting with 80% lowers. Previously, I was reluctant to assemble the upper components but I'm going that route too. So, a bunch on my plate in the short term so I'm planning on going with the Larue Ultimate Upper assembled (since they're offering free assembly). That way, I know I'll be ready for the upcoming hunt season.

Thanks for having me.

Welcome to the clan, Ae, from the great nation of Texas! From one retiree to another, congrats! It's so much fun, I've done it twice! Working on a third one! You have found the source of all knowledge Grendel! You may have learned across these pages that the Grendel is a highly prolific entity. If there is one, soon there will be two. And then they proliferate exponentially! Enjoy!
