    Greetings all

    Hi all, new to the forum!
    I am here to learn what I can.
    Current hunting of late has only been rabbit and possum with a CZ455 22lr.
    Always been fascinated by AR15s, ready to take the step and own / build one.

    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms

    Thank you for the welcomes all!

    I have jumped in the deep end and started my AR build!
    Have opted for the below from NZAR15.com
    Aero Precision Barebones Kit - Includes Upper, Lower, Parts Kits, and BCG.
    CMMG 12.5" 300BLK Barrel
    Pistol Length Gas System

    When I have a couple more $ I will pick up an A-Cat Stock, Magazine and Fore End / Hand guard.
