With apologies to George Patton and John Garand, I think the 98 Mauser was the greatest battle rifle ever, at least during it's heyday.

FUN FACTS ABOUT THE AR-15
* The inventor of the AR-15 was Satan, though his patent has since expired.
* Scientists have confirmed the deadly effects of an AR-15 by giving it to a chimpanzee who then murdered them.
* Scientists agree that each year the AR-15 will grow more deadly until it kills everyone in the entire world.
* Some believe that Hitler was in fact an AR-15 in a rubber mask.
* In the Garden of Eden, God gave Adam and Eve access to every firearm out there except for the AR-15 which he told them not to touch because it was too evil. But then the NRA, in the guise of a serpent, told Eve that the AR-15 is really fun to shoot. So then Eve took the AR-15 and started shooting all the animals in the garden because she is one awesome chick.
* The part that makes the AR-15 so extra deadly is the handle on top. The AR-15 would be used in less murders if it were more inconvenient to carry.
* It was an AR-15 that told Miley Cyrus to dance like that.
* Bullets that are normally harmless will kill instantly when fired out of the AR-15.
* The reason AR-15s have that prominent handle on them is because the most requested feature for an assault rifle was to be able to carry it like a Hello Kitty lunch box.
* If you find yourself surrounded by AR-15's, know that they will fire automatically if they sense fear.
* The AR-15 is easily concealable and can fit inside a matchbox.
* The AR-15 is the leading cause of global warming from how its bullets shoot holes in the ozone.
* A very small percentage of gun deaths are attributed to the AR-15 because it is very good at disguising itself as other guns to frame them.
* What are the differences between an M16 and an AR-15? Scientists agree that it is something.
* The AR-15 can be rendered harmless by giving it only a 10 round magazine as people always miss with the first ten rounds and an AR-15 takes an hour and a half to reload.
* The AR-15 can shoot through schools.
* In a battle between Aquaman and an AR-15, Aquaman would break down and buy it so people might think he’s more manly.
* There were no shooting deaths until the invention of an AR-15. No one even considered using a gun to shoot another human being until someone saw an AR-15 and said, “I bet I could use this to kill a lot of people.”
* There was an assault musket similar to the AR-15 used by the world’s most evil pirates, but it was pronounced “Arrr-15.”
* The Assault Weapon ban was needed because it is well known that an AR-15 with both a pistol grip and a flash suppressor would be unstoppable by any modern military.
* In Europe there is no such thing as an AR-15 and thus also no such thing as murders. Instead of being violent, people there just drink wine and smoke cigarettes all day.
* If you are shot by an AR-15, you become one and kill others.
* The AR-15 is responsible for 95% of all deaths each year. The rest of the deaths are from obesity and drone strikes.
The AK-47 has probably spilled more blood than any rifle in the history of mankind.
LOL! Funny stuff. The line about Miley Cyrus made me to a spit-take.
Fantastic! Finally the Truth is out!
What are the differences between an M-16 and an AR-15?
The M-16 should only be owned/operated by the military and highly trained law enforcement.
The AR-15 should not be owned and operated by anyone. This semi-automatic varmint rifle is just too dadgum dangerous.
Those are pretty good.

I noticed the last time I was in Wal-Mart they had a large number of AR style rifles. More than I have seen at any gun store. The demand for them may no longer exceed the supply.
Still almost no ammo.
5.56mm ammo seems to be coming back. Wal Mart has had plenty each time I’ve been there over the past month.
In unrelated news, the MM ammo supply has been replenished and I may be able to get in some range time this fall. :)
What a boring, stupid, silly, cheap-ass jammy, crappy-sighted rifle.
With apologies to George Patton and John Garand, I think the 98 Mauser was the greatest battle rifle ever, at least during it's heyday.
Then there was the one I had,,,, every time I fired the darn thing the barrel got bigger,,,, .223, .224, .225, .226 etc. I finally got tired of making bigger projectiles when it got to .511 so I finally melted the darn thing down and made myself a 50cal. Thanks for the funnies,,,, I enjoyed them.
That list is bogus! Only the carbine versions will fit in a matchbox.
I don’t think so. In WWI and II a few types of standard-issue firearms has killed much more people than all the firearms combined since the invention of AK-47.
