Bisley45 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 ya, just don't drop the greaser or it might run a full mag out before you can pick it up. And keep plenty of sears handy as they wear out and make the thing more sensetive. One of my friends who's in Iraq right now wanted to take some of my guns as they went from greasers in the late 90's to 16's and his opinion was he was going to drive his buldozer over either of them at his first opertunity and get something that worked. Several of their 16's before they were reisued had designation XM-16. Sad state of the world durring the klinton era that we couldn't have updated all are small arms so even National Guardsman carried a gun younger than them. Think we need to dump the ss-109 and go back to 1-12 twist and 55 grain pos bullets that broke apart or get something like the G-36 and chamber it in something like a streched 7.62x39 and get 7mm Mauser balistics. Course if we had followed King Richard III's (the Lion Hearted) advice we would have turned most of the mid east to glass slag by now and small arms would be academic.
