So we think we're finally going to...

[Denholm]

Sorry to prove you wrong. I only emptied the clip because I had to.

[Hangtime]

Neat trick... from the standing position, send off all eight in rapid fire and on the last trigger pull, shift the strength of your hold to the left hand and allow the butt to fall out of the shoulder pocket while you put out your right hand. Pluck the empty clip out of the air. Turn, keeping the weapon vertical and both arms wide, smile your most evil smile and add a slight bow.

You ever shot a M1?  It's a pretty awesome gun.

Yea, at a rifle range. I loved it!

[lasersailor184]

Yup. The garand is a marvelous battle rifle.. I like my M-14 and love my FAL.. but the Garand is my baby. It's a .308 Navy, one of the last made, immaculate. NM stock bedding & sights, she's a sub-MOA rifle. Shoots better than I can most days.

*CRUMP*CRUMP*

*CRUMP*CRUMP*CRUMP*CRUMP*

*CRUMP*CRUMP* BLING!

Nobody has ever run a clip thru without grinning like an idiot.

It is an awesome gun.  But to be honest, when the revolution comes I'm going to be wracked with indecision for about 10 minutes.

Heading out the door, I won't be able to decide between my Garand, and my 1903a3.  I might just take both.

Hand the boltie to someone you trust and say "Follow Me!"

I like my M-14

    The M-14 was, in my limited experience, the most reliable, most easily maintained weapon.

I also like the idea that when I hit something (someone) with it, it (he) is going to stay down.

Don't get me wrong.. love my garand and my M-14 (M1A1)... (bear in mind the m-14 was my first issue weapon in the service) but the FAL seems to me to be far superior in terms of field stripping and maintaining. The break-down catch, ease of removal of the bolt, the pistol grip, charge handle, Israeli forward bolt assist, left or right hand safety, mag release, ease of getting at and adjusting the gas system, ability to run crummy dirty ammo... the FAL seems to have an edge..

Even when you take the M-14 and the FAL to scoped operation, the FAL adapts faster... I find my NM set up M-14 is just a hair more accurate.. but; in field conditions at 500 yards or less and especially in dirty conditions with questionable ammo, I'd rather have the FAL. At above 500 yards, the M1A1 with the scope... hands down the better sniper rifle.

You cannot strike fear into the hearts of  your enemies without a dreaded black gun. Nancy Pelosi told me it will just like when the Injuns first came up against the English fire-sticks. They'll all whoop, hoot and runaway.

Y'all gota getcha wanna theez yar:




.308 Win of course... we won't be going after mice.

[Hangtime]

LOL.. looks cute. Almost a carbine wanna-be with that short barrel. What is that.. one of them 'kit' AR-15's in .308 that falls apart after 1,000 rounds?

Does look 'evil' in a pelosi sorta way.

[Toad]

Nah, it's a DPMS. I think most consider DPMA a pretty reputable builder.

Panther™ LR-308AP4

Build this Rifle Now!Again listening to the demands of the customer, DPMS unveiled the LR-308 AP4 in 2005. Featuring a standard A3 height receiver rail, with forward assist and dust cover, standard A2 front fixed sight, detachable rear sight, and a collapsible stock, the AP4 caught the attention of recreational and competition shooters, as well as the law enforcement and military community.

It’s popularity as one of the most compact, light, and yet effective 308 carbines on the market earned it the title of NRA rifle of the year in 2006.

You never know; they could have shot these targets at 15 yards but there's some impressive pics here:

Nice indeed.. definitely worth a look!  (and I note the shot pics were with the 24" Barrel full size battle rifle.. not the lil carbine you pictured. )

[Toad]

The "lil carbine" has a 16" barrel. The first picture at the top is shot with that exact lil carbine. I think that's an acceptable group.

Look down through the pics and check the lil 16" barrel. Randy Luth pic for example.

I actually have my two DPMS .308's NIB. Haven't shot them yet. I've been just too busy. Plus, I kinda want to see if Obamessiah wins; I figure I can get 4X what I paid for them as soon as he gets his first attempt at an eEEvii1111 black gun ban into Congress.

I'm into them for about half of what a pair of new Garands would cost.   

[Hangtime]

LOL.. if yah need 'em, they'll be priceless. If yah don't, then far more than you paid for 'em.

Better than the stock market.

btw, for the unknowing out there, the 'lil' one will shoot clear thru a house.. unlike a 'mouse gun', there's precious 'lil' cover from a .308

Nice modern kick bellybutton street sweepers, Toad. Good find.

[lazs2]

The mouse guns work great for headshots on zombies and you can carry a lot of ammo.

Other than that..  I like my M1.
