Why does it have to stay .243? Since .243 is a necked down .308 the bolt doesn't need to be changed and there are so many more options in the aftermarket for a .308 110.

The AR platform is cycled by a direct impingement of gas from the gas tube pushing on the bolt group and forcing it back against the recoil spring located in the stock (which is why ARs can't have a folding stock without being converted to a piston gun). To fail to cycle the bolt might not get...

They both will kill a man out to 500 yards with a rifleman behind the trigger. An original 1950s Russian SKS is about on par quality wise with the Garand. The Garand weighs more, recoils harder, and can only shoot milsurp 30-06 ammunition (M2 ball) or the equivalent without risking damage to the...

Everyone was an anti or indifferent at some point of their lives. This website was founded by a liberal that decided he needed to arm himself one day.

It was my pleasure to be of service. It was my hope that this website will continue to be a place for the uninformed to gather information as well as the "old-timers" to discuss the fun times we have in the shooting sports and disciplines.

Guys, it is bad enough that we have an administration and a large group of people that think our freedom to own arms for whatever purpose is not a valid freedom. Let us not make it worse by infighting and resorting to childish personal attacks. I'm not calling anyone out, I'm just requesting we...

Let me cut through the people acting like children and address each one of your concerns.

A shorter barrel has less time to wobble though;)

I actually have confirmed hits on a human sized steel target at 170 yards with one.:D ETA: To be perfectly fair, it is one of my primary carry gun and I've shot it alot. I was also aiming a few feet above the target to compensate for the drop.

The fact that they slow down faster just makes them drop more at shorter ranges. That does not equal less accurate. Not as flat shooting, but not less accurate.

How about a little ballistics gel for some information. Brass Fetcher Ballistic Testing has been in operation since 2004, providing scientifically-repeatable ballistics testing for the private citizen and public sector. We can evaluate every caliber from .22 Short to .50BMG in ballistic...

Oh dear. Here we go, hopefully in a logical manner.

I hope that was sarcasm. Even chairborne internet commandos can't hit with every round in a real, honest to goodness firefight. I hope I'm never in one in any shape or form other than training, but stuff gets nasty quick. Airsoft as a force on force trainer is eye opening, as is an action based...

They are reliable as well, all Vietnam horror stories aside. I've yet to see a more reliable semi-auto other than the AK platform, which has its own set of disadvantages.

Did we mention yet that in certain circumstances having 30 rounds of ammo on tap and the ability to have 30 more in under 2 seconds is not a bad thing? I hunt with a 7.62mm battle rifle that does double duty as my personal defense rifle, I have 5 rounders for hunting that don't get snagged on...
