Hello everybody,

New on this site, interested in pistol and rifles used during the 2nd WW and the current ones now being used by the US forces. I'm a proud owner of a Firestorm M1911 clone made by Metro Arms, would like to have an M1, M14, and M4.

I find this forum full of informative info.

New to this forum.

Long time shooter, but never considered myself a collector. More of an infomation junkie on the guns I like to shoot.

I look forward to learning from all of you.

Hi All,
My name is Greg and I live in the S.E. part of Kansas. I am 55 years old and destroyed my low back in 2007, on Oct.23,2003 I was unloading a crate that was in the back of a pick up, I was on the job at my work place and me being the only male there I had to unload it my self, the crate had a fence line mower in it. I decided that I would lower it to the grong and then spin it 45 degrees and get it to the ground, when I got the crate about 2/3 the way down the bands that were holding the machine in the crate, they all broke and the mower inside the crate slammed down to the bottom and it felt like someone ran a hot poker from my low back to my foot I couldn't get in to a doctor for 2 1/2 days, this happen late Friday afternoon. To shorten the story it tore L3,L4,L5, I work every day up to Dec.18th 2007
I had my Doctor visit after work, I did loose 4 days of work have cat scans and MRI's On Dec 18th at work, around 11:00 I went to take a small bag of trash to the dumpster and my right leg went numb and I feel down and know you know the rest.
I have been tinkering around with all kinds of fire arms since 1973, I put toghter my first AR in 1984 and put toghter several AR's off an on threw the years up to 2007. Aftr the first 6 months in bed I was about to go nuts!! I friend came over and ask me if there was anyway I could put toghter him another AR. So I found out that I could put them toghter in my bed room working on one 20 mins at a time, maybe 1-3 times a day.
So as the story goes on, that is all I do any more is work on AR's and 1911's, I have had to go out to my shop to do some work but not a lot.
I join this forum to learn more about military firearms.
Later
Greg
