Finally, some evidence, instead of 'just trust me'. Glad I have an AK.

Ahhh, now the guru's want some evidence. You will just have to take my word for it. Goes both ways guru.

You need to get over yourself. Is this post more acceptable? or are you going to delete this one too?

The only thing know for certain about these 'best/worst' AR threads is: 1. There are always a few that know everything it is possible to know about AR's, especially which ones are 'junk/will fail/can't be trusted/etc, etc, etc, guru's, whose attitudes range from downright...

The last new firearm I bought was from in store stock and was in the original unopened box. My cousin and I bought two of the same and neither was opened. Still had the original factory shipping stickers stuck over the joint in the plastic shipping case. They were from a shipment at least a...

Of all the rifles ever produced, what percentage have used 4150 steel, and what is the failure rate? I can tell you the time and rounds to failure of 4150 CMV barrels if you really want to know. This information is public knowledge. M16A2: 491 rounds, 2 min 49 seconds to burst M4: 596...

Federal has a really good ballistics program with BC's on their website for their ammo. Just download it to your computer. http://www.federalpremium.com/resources/ballistics_application.aspx

Is it clean, including the gas system and port? Is the recoil spring inserted correctly? Have you tried different ammo to rule that out?

Well, I like my RRA LAR-8 just fine, except for cleaning it all the time. I am not worried about a broken bolt or any other parts so I will buy more ammo with my spare parts money. I think it and my Commie weapons kinda compliment each other.

What makes these particular bolts so susceptible to failure? I don't read anything about persistent bolt failures in any military type rifles, including AR's. Why is that? (Except on this board) The 5.56 is small and not a particularly high power cartridge, so why the high (supposedly)...

The way I see it is, this whole question hinges on it being 'politically correct'. Those people that are offended think that being 'politically correct' is actually correct. It is not. They don't care about your rights or mine, they only care about their 'perceived' rights. They don't like...

Is that is a plus for the mini considering there are at least hundred times more SKS, AK, and Saiga rifles out there than there are mini's? I guess we will just have to agree to disagree.

Sounds like a winner to me no matter who wins.

The 7.62x39 round does drop lots more in trajectory than the 223, that is a fact, but the 223 never has more energy than the 7.62 at any range with factory ammo.... except with the 75 grain loads, at least with the charts I have seen. Accuracy is not determined by a ballistics chart. My mini...

The mini is either too little for too much $, or too much money for a rifle that is no better in any way than an SKS. Not more fun to shoot than an SKS, nor as smooth as an SKS, nor more accurate than an SKS, nor as reliable as an SKS. Of course my SKS's and AK are Chinese models, which...

This is just one web site of many that explains the deal. You are welcome to do your own research. Just search " american corporations that supplied germany in ww2" or something similar. Some of these corporations had their own manufacturing facilities and some were just collaborators...

A lot has changed in military supply side economics since WW2. Some aspects of it has stayed the same but has grown tremendously. There were several 'American' corporations that supplied both the US and Germany during WW2, and in some cases actually gave the enemy a better deal than they did...

You might want to check out the Sig forum before you buy. Seems that Sig has deleted some of the machining operations which leads to bolt carrier/receiver conflicts on some of the builds. This is one of the threads about the mixup...

The 260 is a good round but it isn't better than the 25-06 anywhere. Just close energy wise on some loadings.

They are not exactly the same but they could be the same basic unit. The GG&G has three extra machined cuts and the Promag has a knurled head on the mounting screw instead of the allen head. I have the Promag sights and they are good quality. The front flip up gas block mount sights are the...
