Thanks again for the warm welcome fellas! I'm still pretty new to the AR platform and as such I've been trying to read as much as possible. My wife and I are currently in the process of moving cross country but I'm sure I'll be around here quite a bit once we get settled in.
Ohhhh... And the name. Well, I have a buddy who always talks down on my Dan Wesson 10mm 1911's simply because they aren't Colt's (He owns several). Same guy owns a couple Colt ARs, and when I showed him my new AR he said "Why on earth would you spend $900.00 on a Shrubmaster?!" Well, I thought it was pretty damned funny, so I decided to keep the name for myself.
