I should have said "modern" military rifles.

My second statement still stands.

Besides most of you hunting types like to "sporterize" (i.e. butcher) the rifles you mentioned by mangeling the stock and ruining the barrel with telescopic sites and putting rubber buttplates on them to protect your tender shoulders.

Military rifles are selective fire. They can be fired both semi-automatic, and fully automatic.

The civilian "look-alikes" are semi-automatic only. You pull the trigger, and they fire one round, and one round only.

They are not "military" rifles.

No one I know does that.

And even if someone does... so what?

Not all of us do. I like my military rifle sto look like the way they were when they were issued. You seem to have the same problem as Zumbo.
