New Hunter in Lake Elsinore

[BigStixx]

Hello SCH!!

My name is keith or you can call me Stixx.
I'm a new hunter in the IE looking for Family friendly people to learn from. I come from a non hunting family but have always been pro gun. I have recently completed my first AR build with some help from a friend. Any ways I'm looking into coyote and pig hunting. I know my 556 won't do much for a pig but I'm looking at getting a bigger cal upper in the next few months.
Any ways would love to learn as much as I can and learn the areas around my beautiful city.
Anyone down to meet up and hang just let me know. I'm also interested in competition AR tactical style shooting as well. Really anything that can get me out side learning something teaching my kids something is all was great.
Have a good night everyone!

Welcome Keith. Just a heads up your 5.56 will do just fine for pig.

what he said. 556 is pig un friendly 556 + pig = dinner

Welcome.......It will do the job but it's not the best choice.......CG goes thru this debate monthly

 

[Gspman]

No debate from me. It's not the best option but I've never lost one to it. Shot small and get closer
Welcome another hunter in any event. Good to see new guys with family willing to out and hunt and get kids involved.

Nice AR. I have a similar style slim quad rail handguard minus the keyholes. Do u know of or use any grip attachments that fit that inset portion of the upper? I've been looking but haven't found anything close.

I spoke with Dave at TPM today. He showed me his new gas blocks. Dave is a guy who is still learning (fast learner) and is always willing to help out. We have been buying his bullet buttons for some time now. I liked his trigger demo blocks too.

Dave is the best! It's always a four hour trip because we talk so much! I had my first job at the shop he shared with a different guy. I worked for the other guy. Then when the other guy baled I worked for Dave. I think I have help him move into like 3 different shops and even in to one home. We go back. Great guy! I know that there are people that might know more about guns and ARs then Dave but he is the only one I'm going to! He backs up everything he does and if there is an issue he always fixes it.

As far as a had guard I have not looked and I don't feel like I need one. Maybe a light on the front that's about it!
Thanks guys for kind words about my AR. It's a work in progress. I'm hoping with my next paycheck I can get some real optics.
