Yeah, I lol'ed.

Your 336 and 1894 are not billed as "Battle Rifles" either so the comparison is irrelevant and to expect them to meet that battle rifle criteria is ludicrous. You guys use non-logic to prove your point because there is no excuse for a battle rifle to not function under any and all conditi...

I've gotta go with Bear 45/70 on this one: not everyone who asks has an agenda. Some are just curious (but unaware that it can be a sensitive topic) or use the question as an opener to ask advice. You can usually tell who is trying to make a point. My standard answer has been (said with a smile) &qu...

Your tone would change real fast abot the plastic rifle when in the middle of a battle the thing quit functioning on you! You guys are the ones who are laughable and wouldn't last long in a real shooting enviorment with your attitude. http://i145.photobucket.com/albums/r206/Bear-45-70/Emoticons/rol...

I know a guy that was gonna shoot his chinese SKS until it quit functioning. 12,000 rounds later and still working and the AK is better designed for this kind of abuse. The idea of even a 100 rounds thru an M-16 or any of it's variants is laughable at best and criminal if nothing else. Anyone that ...

Some of the anti-M16/AR15 assertions are literally laughable and I think Otto has done a nice job of pointing out their absurdity. In no way do I discount the experiences of people. If I had one of the early M16's (non-chromed chamber, dirty powder, no cleaning gear at all), I too would think it was...

. . . But the FAL is just so ugly. Blasphemy! lol The FAL is a sleek piece of 1950's MBR sexy badness! :lol: The FAL will always have a place in my heart because the first rifle I ever assembled was a FAL-type from a parts kit. Unfortunately, the trigger mechanism doesn't lend itself to much improv...

Due to the ballistic hampering to the 5.56 NATO cartridge in this AR-type carbine as a result of the shortish barrel, I think of both of these carbines as good to a little over 100-some yards. Really? I knew that would draw comment. Maybe I should have elaborated: The ammunition I use with my 14.5&...

Using your brain by stalking (if possible) to gain the upper hand isn't dirty. It's smart. How does the saying go? "If you find yourself in a fair fight, you didn't plan properly." :mrgreen: I have both a AR-type carbine (in 5.56 NATO with a collapsible stock and a 14.5" barrel with a...
