    M1A in Afghanistan and Iraq?

    imo a commercial M1A in active duty service is highly improbable, and i think not happening, but nothing is impossible. in addition to my 0311 MOS in the USMC my college background earned me a lot of secondary bs duties, several of them administrative. one was MIMMS clerk for our boat...

    Question For Those Who Have Both AR/AK

    if you take an AR whatever weight you will save in ammo will be made up for with Q-TIPS! need to keep those suckers clean! i'll take an AK, i can clean it with 5w-30, a shoelace and a rag fwiw i'd much rather have a FAL!

    so ptr it is.

    I'd try Portuguese surplus and Federal American Eagle. that's what mine likes best. mine will work with Hirtenberger and South African, although there are a lot of reports with people that have a serial number starting with AW**** having trouble with this ammo. it also likes Magtech, and feed...

    Picking a 308 Help..

    if you are set on an AR i think the DPMS Ap4 is the only rifle that fits your criteria. i have no personal experience with this model the only non-AR rifle that may also fit your criteria is a PTR-91, but it won't do any better than 1.5 moa (I question if the AP4 is really capable of this...

    Saiga 762X39 or .308?

    WalMart still sells 308...

    Question about Saigas

    they are all pretty close in my opinion, but since you asked, i would say the AK and HK designs are a dead heat, and the FAL and M14 designs are regionally sensitive. FAL may be better in the mud, M14 in the sand. no real evidence, just my opinion based on "the bs i heard" none of mine...

    So I want a truck rifle.

    Saiga in 308 or 762x39, depending on what range you want pump shotgun if you are on a tighter budget

    Gotta get it off my chest AR-15 vs. Mini-14

    haha i have owned, and hate them both, the AR and the mini. if i worked on a ranch i would buy a mini. if i wanted to win at camp perry i would use an AR there is very little in the way of crossover attributes between them, other than the 5.56/.223 round and a ZERO-SUM FAN BASE

    Picking a 308 Help..

    you are asking a bunch of questions, at once. what do you want your "shtf" rifle to do? this is different, for everyone. do you want: 1. how much accuracy? 1 moa, 2.5 moa, 4moa? 2. how much importance do you place on reliability? 3. how important is magazine capacity? 4. how much do...

    M1A ammo

    if you really find a NEED to shoot a heavier bullet, or even if you plan on a steady diet of 175-180 grain bullets and are worried about wear-and-tear on or bending your op rod, you may want to consider buying an adjustable gas plug. this will allow you to adjust the amount of gas that is used...

    New IAR vs. SAW M249

    I think this is a move absolutely in the wrong direction. I despised the SAW when i had occasion to use, it; i felt it did not possess the durability and ammunition advantages offered by the M240's and M60's that I also had experience with. imo since we are waging desert wars what we need...

    Indian surplus .308?

    70's Indian is good stuff, when production was supervised by the Brits 80's and 90's production can range from junk to downright dangerous, when there was little to no quality control. visit an M14 forum called "The Firing Line" for more info on this topic

    PTR 91 & Wolf Steel

    ok, I get it. i am considering the terms interchangeable and you are correct that they are not the same. I'm not sure what effect if any the polymer coating may have on flute cleanliness
