Howdy from the great state of Texas! Well I finally joined the club and am the proud new owner of a 17S. Have been on the fence for a really long time and was persuaded with the help of some fellow Scar owners. I've owned and shot a FAL for about 12 years and the Scar is a natural evolution for me. I'm looking forward to learning more and adding to my kit. Possibly a longer barrel, toolkit and cleaning kit eventually. Thanks for having me - FDE17S

Sure are a lot of texans here. I visited Texas once on business, and my host, knowing that I consider myself a north carolina barbecue expert, took me out for BBQ. Well, I'm used to pork BBQ here in Carolina. My friend introduced me to beef BBQ...no sauce. It was the best food I.ve ever had. I'll never forget the little place. It was called rudi's and it was across the street from Leon springs dance hall. I couldn't tell you what town or city. I know we were outside of San Antonio. If all BBQ in Texas is this good...I'm envious.

Great place! I live minutes away from Rudy's.

Are you near Leon springs dance hall?

Are you near Leon springs dance hall?

Yup! Just a few miles away.

The dance hall was great, I loved the wholesome atmosphere. I saw age groups ranging from kids to grandparents...with everyone having a great time. Rudy's was out of this world good. I'll never forget ordering my meal and having it served on wax paper...no plate. I ate so much brisket and cream corn that night. You are blessed to be in that community.

Leon springs is a fun little place to hang out. We have an amazing pizza place out here now too. If you ever find yourself out here again, drop me a PM, well grab some bar b q and beers on me!

You bet my man. Thank you.

Thanks to everyone for such a warm welcome - I'm feeling right at home here and already planning my next FN purchase, an FNX40. I'm actually from West Texas but DFW is where I call home for the past 17 or so years. No doubt about, there is some of the best BBQ you ever had round here. Regards -
