I'm in

[Rightwinger]

Thanks Frank from Elite Tactical Systems for alerting me to this site.

Avid hunter and shooter, looking to get into 3 gun this year. Building variant caliber ARs has been my love of late.

I can be found daily on 458socomforums.com or on ARFCOM as Rightwinger or RightwingerTN

Looks like I have another forum to consume even more of my time

Thanks for having me.

Welcome aboard, brother. You'll enjoy this place. Even when people get a bit cantankerous, it's pretty hospitable. (Of course, that's my impression of TN as a whole. No matter how annoyed the people are at Damn Yankees such as myself, they treat me well.)

[Guest Phantom6]

Welcome aboard. Love your Avitar.

Welcome Rightwinger! I may talk with you about an ar in .308....

and Mike, I thought we're supposed to allow everyone, even cussing yankees..we just tell em to stop it with the potty mouth!

[Rightwinger]

Thanks for the welcomes guys.

As you may have already seen, I ain't shy.

Tower, look forward to discussion of .308 in AR or Springfield Armory. I have had my eye on both for some time ! Would love to win the lottery and get that Hathcock model M1!

[towerclimber37]

Funny you should say that! My brother used to shoot with Hathcock. It was after the trailer fire that had him in the wheelchair....

I saw him once. That guy could shoot 1000 yards like we shoot 50 yards...he was incredible.

I don't know if he's alive or not these days,haven't seen him since the mid 90's

Carlos Hathcock died back in early 1999 I believe. His 93 confirmed kills saved the lives of a lot of soldiers, marines, sailors and airmen in Viet Nam. Only 2 men had higher confirmed body counts in that little slice of heaven. One was a US Army Sgt. named Bert Waldron with 109 confirmed kills and the other was Marine L/Cpl. Chuck Mawhinney. All 3 were miracle workers with M14's and Remington 700's and were, without a doubt in the same league with Hetzenauer, Allerberger (German) , Palichenko and Zaitsev (Soviet), 4 of the most successfull and decorated snipers from the second world war.

Welcome!

[towerclimber37]

Thanks Phantom. Last time I saw him, he was in a wheelchair and had a heck of a time getting out to the range, but I believe that was his one true, God given gift.

One that he used to keep us all free.

now, back on topic,

hey rightwinger, again, welcome to the forum. I hope we get a chance to shoot together some time.

perhaps ONCE a year, we should all try to get together for one massive TGO meet.

[Mike.357]

Tower you cracked me up .

I re-read my post and see the double meaning. Of course I meant that no one here should be cussin the yankees,. And if anyone needs cussin I volunteer to do it!

As for snipers I saw the episode on Myth Busters about Hathcock and the shot through the scope. Pretty incredible:up:.
