I was raised in Cali. My parents moved to Az when I was 19. i fit the old saying about young dumb and one other thing that escapes me at the moment lol. I moved my own family to AZ after realing i did not want to raise my kids in cali.
As for firearms, I've been a collector/trader/enthusiast since 93. Mainly, I liked pistols. learned quite a bit about glocks and over the years ive had several. figured out I like 40 caliber so my pistol of choice was Glock 23.
Didnt know much about rifle platforms (AR or AK) until a few years ago when the worry was the AR would soon not be available. Got a budget rifle but cost did not reflect quality in this case. my AR has been 100 % reliable in the 5 or 6 years that Ive had it. i just wish I had the skill to put a freefloat guard on it
got my first AK in January 2016. budget price and initially piece of crap. did some research on youtube found suggestions on how to resolve problems on my own. tried it with some success. instead of every 3rd round failing, i got up to every 5th round before having to drop mag clear chamber and start over. rifle was bad through first 300 rounds. after more research on youtube found a potential fix from manufacturer that some other owner used. contacted manufacturer, requested new bolt carrier. problem solved through 300 rounds since changing bolt carrier, not one failure.
