Have you ever seen this?

Shrine of the Mall Ninja

Hilarious!

I don’t know about M80 but Lake City has 5.56x45 ammo on sale for $349 per 1000 right now.

Ok Gang, See yall next week.
Thanks to all who stopped by!

[2111USMC]

I didn’t really agree with Tom’s advice to the guy wanting a .308

Just because .223 is cheaper, doesn’t mean it’s a better choice for a battle rifle.

[2111USMC]

I’m only into the third paragraph and I’m laughing my a** off!

Thanks for the link!

[mylife]

I don’t want to lug it, but I would prefer .308

[Carriage Hill]

It is. It’s like having a team of sniper spotters working for you, and it’s so accurate I can easily drop a round inside a 4-5” circle at 1,500-1,600yds. We’re going to run it out to 2,000yds next time I go up north to his farm’s range. I can even program custom loads with Barrett’s software on my PC, and transfer the data into the BORS via their USB cable. Hoo-wee!

Signing off; nite all!

I use the M4 with the conversion and use the conversion to fire
subsonic .22 SSS Aguila without any jams. It's recoil ejection
is independent.

[mylife]

One of my Co Workers just picked up the M4 and I bought the CMMG conversion kit from him.
He wanted a dedicated upper but got the entire M4 for like $400.
Sold me the conversion kit for $150
He got a great deal.
He says the conversion works well but is not as accurate as .223
The 22 is gonna rattle down the pipe a bit.
I think the 60 grain subsonic lead 22 may work better than would think in a 1/9 twist 223.

we will see.

[mylife]

He got an M4 with dedicated 22 upper

[mylife]

This is what he got.

Sweet!

[MaxMax]

The Aguila SSS round is long like the .223 with plenty of lead to grip the barrel.
1/7 I believe is standard .22 target rifling so the 1/9 should keep
the SSS round accurate even with the low velocity. I have no personal
field testing on the accuracy and can only go by my experience in
the range at 25 yards.

Maybe soon I'll have a chance to get outdoors for testing.

[mylife]

Quite honestly all I want it for is 25 yards and a whisper.

Salute.

[mylife]

100 yards would be great.

[Tainan]

From the same political geniuses (genii?) who brought us the “Cash for Clunkers” Federal program.

[Carriage Hill]

Same morons for that one, the “green energy” scams, killing XL pipeline, killing coal-fired plants etc. That quip could be the Guinness Book of Records’ Longest Run-On Sentence, ever.
