Title: Another new guy
Post by: Rockchalk77 on February 12, 2020, 10:55:57 AM
Hello everyone.  Been lurking here for a while reading the forums for technical knowledge, figured it was time to join in. 

A little about myself - didn't grow up shooting, but caught the bug in my 20's.  I have a computer engineering background, but my hobby is that I love to investigate the mechanics of firearms with a particular addiction to the less common and more interesting designs - rotating barrels ( Beretta PX4), bullpup (Boberg), and of course Pedersen (R51).

I love the R51, but I have had some pretty bad luck with feeding issues (I have the Smoke Gray version).  Just bought a number of new mags, so hoping to give this guy another try as I really like the profile for possible CC. 

Anyway, happy to be here!
