Happy Second Anniversary

[pitted bore]

This is the second anniversary of the day that mudbug announced on the calguns thread that 450bushmaster.net was open for business: June 6th in 2009, D-Day +65 years.

The first to sign on were BD1, wildcatter, and thirtytwo. Curiously, "bloob" signed on two days earlier and has never posted, but has visited occasionally.

A number of others, including yrs truly, hit the beach a day later. It's been an interesting, helpful, and informative two years here.

This has always been a polite and civilized forum, and I've enjoyed being a part of it.

I'm a newbie but I'm really enjoying this forum and learning a lot!
Congrats on the 2nd Anniversary.

Ditto's on the previous comments. I found the site after I bought my 20" upper to mate with my BM XM15 lower, have put a couple of hundred rounds through it, and - thanks to this board - have taken up reloading.

I started my little "tour of duty" here on Thumper talk 8 months ago. Ive been a Bushmaster owner for 16 months. What I have learned here in that 8 months is absolutely astounding. I have built my very first custom rifle and working on a second. The money that I've spent....well....I guess that I had better not discuss that. This Black Rifle love affair could take its' toll on some folks. But I believe these are worth the investment. I truly think our Black Rifle love affair is once again being threatened by the Left. It is really a treasure to find a Forum like this. A TRUE Treasure. A Bastion of lucidity among all other gun forums. Special thanks to the guys who put up with my repetitive questions and those who have taken the time to even PM, email and call me on the phone giving me help. WC, it is an Honor,sir. I've met and hung out with the likes of TN Congressman Ed Bryant, shaken hands with former VP Dick Cheney, drank iced tea with Paul Shanklin in his kitchen at his home, and spent untold time in past decades shooting bows with, dining with, and discussing all sorts of topics with my bloodbrother, Ted Nugent. It is once again, an honor to meet a man who has his hand on the rudder of firearms history. It is like talking to Sam Colt. God Bless ya man!

Happy Anniversary!

I have to say, once again, this is the best forum ever in the history of ever!

Hard to believe we've been sitting around this digital campfire for 2 years. Looks like we are still growing too. Thanks guys, for all the insight and comradery. We ought to figure a real rendezvous somewhere.

Thanks, that's very humbling. I'll try to live up to the accolades.

Sneak-Preview, before the end of the summer, I hope.

First of all, keep in mind a couple of things, first. J. Browning came up with about 125 +- weapons, I have well more than 300 on my boards now and by the end of this summer, I hope to have about a half dozen introduced (here first and I'll be shipping them to some of you guys for objective review, also to be posted here), that are "Guaranteed" to knock your socks, all the way off. The Nay-Sayers on the other channel will have an absolute Toad, to no end. Don't worry, these new developments won't over-shadow our beloved 450b and I don't plan to ever hang mine up, but these new weapons will be quite stunning, I mean, really very stunning, as in Game-Changing Stunning.

So, on this Anniversary, this is my announcement.. This board is about to explode with new member interests. Though I think the Mad Mudder might say it has already exploded.

Happy Anniversary!!! It's been great learning from such a respectful bunch of guys..
