As much as I like the 7.62 I agree with the armys reasoning for going to 5.56.
My time in the Army made me DESPISE the 5.56. After an armed disagreement with some local rabble rousers, a certain shot between the shoulders and several inches higher left the fellow in pain...for about 7 hours before he went to his 72 virgins in the sky. That round is worthless in my opinion and I wouldn't shoot it to save my friends life. I would sooner see my sister in a cat house than own a 5.56 <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/barf.gif" alt="" />

hmm.. just now i thought.. wonder why "bling" hasn't hit rifles. I mean there's all manner of presentation grade nickel-plated gov't models, fancy engraved stainless revolvers, le/satin knives.. etc. but i've never seen a Bling'ed up shiny rifle! ok.. i've seen polished up 10-22 plinkers.. but i'm talkin real rifle. maybe cause riflemen are more serious ? For the best or worst of bling guns check out what the US army confiscated from Saddams kids. Gold krinkov(custom cut down)AK's with nike symbols and even worse. Yup, here you go. Uday Hussein’s gold plated AK-47

If you could go into a gunshop and get a rougher but just as reliable and accurate norinco M14 for 300$ or a FAL what would it be? I've been searching for that gunshop for years but haven't found it. If you find it, please let me know where! <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />

re: 5.56
well it's good to see cartridge development take advantage of advances in powder. Bad when experiments involve users' lives. It's interesting seeing brand-spankin new revolvers with cylinder dimensions determined by a cartridge.. length of which was determined by black powder back in the 1800s!
so stuff like 6.5 Grendel.. it's good to see they're taking into account cartridge/powder advances AND desired end performance.

Your comment does mean a lot since you saw it in action. Dan

It is in canada because you can't get chinese rifles or ammo in the US.
The early norincos had heat treatment problems but that has been sorted for a long time. If you are interested the CGN(canadian gun nutz)board has a battlerifle forum that has been basically taken over by the norinco 305. I am more of a bolt action/standard transmision guy myself.I am not a big fan of Jeff Cooper but I love the scout rifle concept. The only rifle I own qualifies. It is a Parker Hale enfield and the fastest smoothest bolt action as well as the only rifle in canada allowed 10 round mags. One of these days I am going to take a bubbaed enfield and build a synthetic socom 16 type bolt gun. The 303 might not seem like the best choice but here in canada it is still very popular andavailable at every rural gas station. I considered an israeli mauser or FR8 but then you only get 5 rounds. A black synthetic jungle carbine would make a heck of a truck gun.

.303 brit is nothin to sneeze at.. ballistics are just a little shy of .308 nato. best thing is price of the rifles! few years back.. there was a whole boat load of surplus .303 Lee Enfields starting at ~$80 !

I'm not sure how much I like sporterized military bolt actions.
You can get a nice, brand new rifle with about 80 years more development for about the same price as a good sporterized rifle.
Then you are not stuck with an old cartridge, scope mounts are not an issue, warrantys may be available, etc.
I wouldn't mind owning a nice Enfield or 1903 or Mauser 98 but I would leave it stock and buy a new bolt action if I had to hump it around the woods and hit what I'm aiming at.
Arf arf arf... That's my other dog impression.

A black synthetic jungle carbine would make a heck of a truck gun. I always wanted to build something like this for a truck gun. An AK-47 pistol, made from a ~$200 AMD-65 AK parts kit. If you buy one already made, they cost about $600. But if you make it yourself, it’d only cost a few hundred. If you made the receiver, (from scratch or an 80% finished one) it could also be sterile if you desire with no markings or serial numbers. (And yes, it’s legal) High power and high capacity, and since it’s legally a pistol, I could carry it open or concealed with my Indiana carry permit. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/laugh.gif" alt="" />

oddball, oh man your Street Walker pic thread got Crapped on! it got waaaay off topic! 1. Do you EDC that naked Infi SS4? 2. Have you had problems w/ rust/patina forming an that exposed Infi? 3. Did you polish it up? Left it raw Infi dimples? (i kinda like that, but heard they rust) 4. How does that naked Infi feel & work for you? 5. Would you do it again? Hey over on BF.. there's nice pics of a Bead Blasted CT that looks SWEET! http://bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php?t=449752I've been messing with the handle on my SS4.. http://www.scrapyardknives.com/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Number=12141..and now i'm Strongly considering what You did! But i'm kinda on the fence.. since I wanna EDC my SS4 concealed and think the coating may be better for that role.
