Yes, but the 62 grain capability has been reduced by the 1:7 twist. Faster bullet spin=More stability and better accuracy, but less inclination to yaw upon impact. Instead it punches right through the target, goes out the other side with minimal damage. In the early days of the M-16 and the...

Aimpoint or EoTech @GIRODIN: That is the info I am looking for. Both the EoTech and the Aimpoint sit a little high, I have a military issue M68 mount on my Aimpoint that I brought home from deployment, and I can change that out. I have a low profile mount on my PTR, so that helps keep the...

@ HKGUNS: If you are in a gun battle, you can just run to a weapons crate like you are playing battlefield 4 and swap out weapons. We can't pick and choose if our gun battle occurs at extended ranges or finds us in a building. I believe the HK-G3 is still used by many countries around the...

223 myth? JudgeHolden10, opinions are like *******s: Everybody has one, and they all stink. However, I would classify Chuck Taylor as an expert. And that's what you wanted, right? Information from a reputable source? :cool:

Chack Taylor Article Read this article. It covers the original effectiveness of the 5.56 round, how its performance was significantly degraded and why. http://www.tactical-life.com/magazines/special-weapons/in-praise-of-the-m16-rifle/ From, "In Praise of the M-16 Rifle" by Chuck Taylor...

I own an AR-15 with an Aimpoint CompM3 and have recently purchased an EoTech XPS2 with the intention of putting the XPS2 on my PTR-91. I understand that an ACOG would have undoubtedly been the best choice for the PTR-91, but it wasn't in my budget and won't be for a while (Unless someone...

Hope I'm not to late! I am currently in the middle east and several troops here have the EOTech. I did some research and finally settled on the Aimpoint CompM3 (that I purchased incidentally to use with my M1A Scout Squad and my M177 Carbine back home). The first and foremost thing I didn't...

Not long ago I came into the possession of 2 Marlin XXX Standard 1872 Pocket Revolvers. They both have short fluted cylinders. One has Pearl or Ivory Grips. I have researched them through Marlin and on line and found ones that were in poor condition going at auction for about $300.00. I have...

M1A Bush Rifle You know...now that you mention it, I now seem to remember hearing about the M1A Bush Rifle....I had forgotten about that until you mentioned it, although I have never seen one up until now. It looks as though the Muzzle Break is a bid different, but essentially the same rifle...

I know I am new to this forum, but there is a lot of Scout Squad fans here. Maybe we should have a "Pimp My Scout Squad" Contest. Start off by each contestant having their picture taken holding the base model...(plain stock, no scope) ...then in January, submit photo's of the contestants...

Scout Squad - There is no SUBSTITUTE! I have been an Infantryman for more than 17 years now (currently on my 2nd deployment to the mid east) so I am no stranger to military weapon systems. The M14/M1A rifles have always been my favorite. I purchased a Scout Squad while I was home on leave...
