        I owned a nice 22-250 once upon a time, which was even a flatter shooter than that.

        Happy days

        M-16A1?

        “A magazine fed, gas operated, semi automatic or automatic shoulder weapon with a maximum effective range of 350 meters…”

        The only thing I didn’t like about it was having to clean it morning, noon and night in the field.

        Also, the U.S. Army would only issue the 20 round mags in the 1960s/70s..

        Of course, the Leftists in our outfit always said the commie AK 47 was better – and maybe it is for a third world dumb ass who keeps dropping it in the mud and expecting it to fire – but for the well trained American soldier, the “black monster” – the little gun that makes the big holes – is the way to go when it’s time to rock and roll.

          It’s a “Son of Stoner” AR Ron,went with a 24″ heavy varmit barrel since I like to get my moneys worth on powder.I’m limited to semi-auto so 20rd mags make the most sense for me,not as many people want them so they can be had cheap.

          Eugene Stoner was brilliant in designing his gas system.My neighbor is a class III holder and has an original XM16A1 that runs full auto.It’s been said an M16 running 700 rpm will hold a 16″ group while an AK running 600rpm can hit the side of a Barn if it’s inside the barn:mrgreen:

          Next on my list if I can’t find a decent FAL kit is an AR-10 aka the rifle that should have been.If Stoner’s boss at Fairchild hadn’t insisted on the unproven composite barrel you would have had a serious battle rifle to bring death with.

    hmmm…….
    Europe is sleepwalking towards imminent disaster
    The euro has completely broken down as a workable system and faces collapse with “incalculable economic losses and human suffering” unless there is a drastic change of course, according to a group of leading economists…’
    Ambrose Evans-Pritchard
    http://www.telegraph.co.uk/finance/financialcrisis/9424793/Europe-is-sleepwalking-towards-imminent-disaster-warn-top-economists.html
    The truth is the monumental scale of the problems facing the beleaguered nations in euroland is moving to a new, dangerous level.

      Like I said before, the latest “Tower of Babel” drama is just about ready to fall down.

      Remember the big socialist “New World Order” plan of the 1990s, so beloved by President George Bush The Elder?

      First the European Union…

      Next the North American Union…

      And so forth…until all independent nation-states cease to exist.

      Lastly: The Big Global Union!

      This goes against God’s Will – God loves nations and that’s why he created so many of them on this little blue planet – this way no single tyrant/ideology can rule the world.

      …and in those nations where tyranny rules, the people can always escape the iron boot by fleeing to the Free World.

    Political cartoonist Larry Pickering …, who has published the stories pertaining to Ms Gillard’s involvement in her former boyfriend’s alleged embezzlement of Australian Workers Union funds, at his website ‘Pickering Post’, said he was not afraid of any repercussions. 

“I’m that sure of the facts, I’m standing on my front door waiting for someone to come with a writ. I wish they would, because I’ve got stuff that would break this wide apart,” he said….
    Larry Pickering told Derryn Hinch his sources which included current and former employees of law firm Slater & Gordon, a former employer of Ms Gillard, and members of the ALP. 

Mr Pickering forecast Ms Gillard’s departure from the Prime Ministership within a matter of weeks, saying he was waiting on some ‘explosive’ material from the police which he would obtain under Freedom of Information laws.

    I enjoy your open forums, but the virtual beer, while non fattening, isn’t that satisfying. :whoop

    hmmm

    One fat Kraut and his stomach, against the NZ Special Tactics Group and their assault rifles.

    I’d take those odds, were I the Kraut.

    On an entirely frivolous note, we’re off to the shores of the Gulf (of Carpentaria) in a few weeks, for some serious fishing. It’s magical country up there. :grin:
