    Semi-auto rifles
    http://semiautorifles.com/


    Hello people! My name is Ray and I started a new discussion board for firearm enthusiast December of 2008. The site is designed for people who enjoy shooting and discussing Semi-automatic rifles. One of my goals with this site is to help educate people with the term semi-automatic and some of the misconceptions concerning this type of firearm.

    The number one thing is a semi-automatic firearms only fires once per single pull of the trigger. The media and various political groups has confused this type of firearm with a full automatic. A full automatic firearm will continue to fire while the trigger is depressed. Now one thing on the subject of full automatic firearms, they are in fact legal to own depending on your state laws. But rest assure your garden variety ganster can not simply walk into a gun store or gun show and buy a Class III firearm...Full Auto, Suppressors, Short barrel Rifles etc. This type of weapon requires the strictest back ground checks by your local PD and BATF. You're local Sheriff or COP is required to sign the paper work, if they don't sign it, you can't buy one.

    I hope you have at least learned something from my berief introduction. And I would like to extend an inventation to anyone who enjoys firearms to come check out my web site. I also have a section for Rimefire and handguns as well.

    Thanks, Ray

    PS, I'm also doing a summertime promotion which I'll have a drawing May 23rd. All that is required is you be a registered member and reply to the thread.

    Thanks again,

    Welcome To Semiauto Rifles

    You definitely have a unique niche there, 50calray. Firearms are not my favorite, however briefly looking round your forum I think you will do quite well :) If you ever need any help, tips, advice, feel free to post a topic on AdminAddict, and we would be more than happy to help you out :)

    Good Luck, I wish you all the best :)

    I like it. It looks like it's coming along well with a great goal in mind.

    The logo, did you make it yourself?

    Thanks,

    As for the banner, it was a quick spur of the moment design by my IT guy. My original banner was some how encoded in the old forum software and I lost the picture files for it. I think he did a great job all things considering. I'm thinking about doing a banner contest here pretty soon to help with promote membership and activity on the forum.

    Hey thanks,

    I figured AK was gun related but I didn't want to assume anything. Anyhow, feel free to check out the site. I'm going to start doing some promotional stuff again once I figure out this counting upgrade program.

    It's a great niche! Love the header and the design is really very fitting.
    Sadly, not something I'm too interested in, but the site is well-done and I wish you the best of luck. :)

    That is a nice looking community. The colors match the topic well, the header image is not overbearing, the pages load fast,,,, you just need more post.

    But it looks like your off to a running start.

    I'm actually using a gamer skin...I'm sure the X status icons give I away. I need to get someone to build me some custom gun related ones. That or build a whole new skin.

    As for COD4, my tuner for my surround sound is toast and it's to much trouble to direct hook up the PSP3. So I can't play :(

    Chris and I used to own CoD4-MW.net when the game first released. We had a similar skin to the one you have now - it was very nice. I think it would have looked good for your forum.

    Ah yes, that does indeed look quite similar to the CoD4-MW.net theme that we were using. :)

    I like the overall feel of the site. Easy to navigate though, good color / theme choice also! The activity could be a little improved. But it is WAY better than my forum's :D Good overall idea. All the best, Andrei Z!:)

    Thanks people,

    Ya I wouldn't mind more traffic my self but I'm up against some pretty stiff competition...some of which has been around for 10yrs. But I'm determined.
