Hi folks,

Some of you might remember me. My name is Steve Timm; I wrote for Handloader magazine, Rifle magazine, Guns & Ammo and wrote lead-in pieces for literally every Nosler Reloading Guide ever published.

Oh yeah, I was also the lead feature writer for Varmint Hunter Magazine for sixteen years.

Anyway, I've been retired from writing for several years now. I work hard, but it is at ministries at our Catholic church.

My wife, Karen, and I have been married for 48++ years and we are both getting close to our 70th birthdays.

Lately, I've picked up an addiction; I love Smith & Wesson M&P AR rifles. At last count, I have an M&P AR-15TS, an M&P AR-15 MOE and an M&P AR-15 - 22. And love them all.

I'm here to learn more. And perhaps, just perhaps, I can help out a few of you.

Let's have fun and learn together.

May God Bless ALL of You,

Steve Timm

Steve,

Man have I loved your articles. I subscribed to Varmint Hunter magazine for many years and still have most copies. I have really enjoyed your articles because they conveyed your knowledge in a very informative and enjoyable manner. Welcome to the Forum.

Good group of guys here, Steve. Very polite for the most part.

Welcome! And thanks for joining the forum. Looking forward to your insight and opinion!

Hi Steve...Welcome!

Welcome from SW GA.
May God bless you as well.

Thanks for the very warm welcome, friends. I truly appreciate it.

Oh, I should mention that I'm using Aimpoint sights on my two 5.56mm S&W rifles. My TS wears an Aimpoint H-1 and I chose an Aimpoint T-1 for my MOE ... both have the 2 moa red dot reticle.

Both of my S&W 5.56s handle incredibly well and, of course, they are wonderfully supplimented by the S&W M-15/22. The .22 version feels just like the 5.56s and it sure pays for itself in ammo savings.

Count me as a Smith & Wesson fan!!

God Bless,

Steve

Well heck, welcome to the site.

Steve, we are honored. Warmest welcome.

Again, my friends, I'm overwhelmed by your gratious welcome. My heartfelt thanks.

I know, I know, they all look alike but here is MY S&W M&P M-15 TS. The Aimpoint is just tailor-made for this cutie.







Ain't she a beautie???

God Bless Y'all on this Beautiful Morning,

Steve

Us Palm grip? What trigger?

All I can say is WOW. I too have been a follower for years (I'm just a "titch" over 60). Love your work. Welcome Aboard,it's one (if not) thee best site's going with tons of outstanding people. Stay Safe and Happy Shooting from another long time fan.

God Bless You Too.

Glad to have you aboard! Welcome. You'll find that the leanings of this group is that our M&P 15s are second to none.

The grip is the one issued with this model. It is the TS ... "T" prolly means tactical and I have no idea what the "S" designation means (maybe SUPERB )

The trigger is a Timney with the skeletonized trigger blade and it's the 4-pound model.

I keep ARs around our home, just in case I have to sweep the place out. Strange things happen in a firefight situation and any trigger under four-pounds is (I've found) unsafe. This Timney is wonderfully reliable, plus it is crisp and breaks at precisely 64-ounces time-after-time.

Surprisingly, my S&W M&P AR-15 MOE is somewhat of a mutant. The trigger is absolutely stock and it breaks perfectly, just short of 5-pounds. Nice and I've not comtemplated replacing it.

Oh, here are photos of my MOE:














That is an Aimpoint T-1 in a LaRue LT-660 mount sitting on top. Yep, it is capable of night vision use.

Dang, I love the Smith & Wesson ARs ... All of them!!

God Bless,

Steve

Wellcom Steve!
Like others have said ... this is the right place for those that are into ARs ....... and 'friendly' conversation.

Nice to have you on board Steve.

Welcome to the forum, sir! Glad to have you on board!!
