AK-47 = junk.
Don't tell anyone hit by a 5.56 that it is a pipsqueek.
M1/M14 about the best main battle rifles ever.
7MM rules.
Back before Kennedy was assasinated (no, not Ted), and guns could be sold mail order, the American Rifleman always had a full page ad on the back cover from a company that sold war-surplus rifles and pistols. Their descriptions were, to a 13-year-old, hilarious. The writeup for the 6.5MM Carcano was:
"Excellent condition! Like new! Never fired and only dropped once!"
Those were the days before PC and the feminization of the US.
This used to be a great country.
He might be the Chicken Man from the Outback Steakhouse commercials...he says the food is from the future.
Not possible this cheap. Maybe $190.
The debate over the 5.56mm cartridge's effectiveness as a miltary round has only been raging since the M-16 was introduced back in the 60's. If the MSM ever bothered to address that debate, it was just to sneer at the debaters as "right-wing gun nuts."
Until now, that is. Why is that so? It couldn't be because all the other "concerns" the left has mouthed about our troops (body armor, armored Humvees, etc.) have failed in their objective to take down Donald Rumsfeld and George Bush, so now it's time to move on to the next thing that might do the trick, could it?
