The Original Old Farts Club

[Unca Walt]

Alas, my favorite is still the M-14/M1/A1. Heavier ammo, but then I didn't need as much. I consistently shot Grand Master sitting 200 yards rapid fire with my Super Match M1/A1, something I couldn't do with any of my .223 caliber rifles.

As a combat rifle, try diving to the ground and breaking your fall with the buttstock of an AR-anything.

Oh, precisely!! Fargin 2nd-generation Mattel Toys have so much pointy crap on them, they can be really dangerous if left in the bottom of trail-pits. Falling on one is like a pungi stake.

The M-14 would shoot through brush and little trees. The BB gun would not.

If you carried ten box magazines, you'd have a staggering total of 220 rounds of 30.06 major booms to toss out there. That is one dude with the exact equivalent of three guys fully loaded with BAR's shooting the same round.

If you couldn't get outa there after 220 rounds, you are in the penalty box.

I was issued an M-1 Garand, which was 30-06, but my M1/A1 was .308 or 7.62 NATO. Similar ballistics and as you say, made quick work of small trees used as cover and way less affected by the wind.

My Service Rifle scores for rapid fire were higher than my Tournament Rifle scores for the same thing because I could get locked in and sit there and rock.

I had/have no use for the Mattel Toy. My guns all function, even dunked in mud.

What my guns do NOT have is that itty-bitty teeny little spring-loaded, surprise! fargin magic little part that goes flying off into the dark leaving you with an awkward club. <-- Old GI's know perzackly what I mean.

And any semi/full auto gun that requires a fargin toilet plunger stuck on the side for whacking in order to seat the cartridge is right up there with Custer's useless carbines.

One guy I know always informs those around him that he had a genuine single-shot '16. M14 back then was da bomb.

Oh, wait. You are talkin' AR's. I prefer my bringumhome SKS and AK-47 <-- they eat the same food, and between them are far more versatile and reliable than the ARs.

And I can take them apart and reassemble just like a Rooshian school child. So I do not have to get the feed pawl sear lined up with the feed pawl slide like a goddamm slot machine...

Had a good friend that was a for real sniper in the Asian war games. Went AWOL when they took his vintage WWII/Korean conflict 1903 Springfield bolt rifle away from him and gave him a Remington bolt in .308. Cost him a stripe and a day in the slammer, and he still didn't get his beloved rifle back. Confirmed kills went way down afterward.

The 1903-A3 served us well as a sniper rifle in WW-II.

A nice distraction.

Probably tests the merchandise before putting them on the sleigh. Looks like hard work

[WeedHopper]

Almost like what happen to Roster LOL

It all goes to plan, Brother TOG.

They fulfilled two of Q's targeted goals.

"They must be shown." <-- The worm-squirming "logic" that the FBI already knew and therefore the lie Sussman told doesn't count as a lie because it did not fool them is there for the world to see. And it HAD to be made very public by the MSM... all have seen the bull-**** involved. Even dullards are talking "two-tier" and "just us" now.

"How do you get evidence put into permanent court records, accessible at any time?" <-- That is precisely what has now been done. Not a toss is given to the unimportant Sussman (except as a way to get the court records to prove HRC pushed the hoax). The formal court records now show -- unequivocably and without a chance of denial -- that the Toad From Arkansas was behind the Rooshian Bank/Pee hoax.

Treason, and there is no way to remove those damning court records.

Let's see what they do with it.
