Was issued A1's & A2's in the Army...never really liked the feel and often talked whoever was humping the 60 out of it after the first march...
back then I was built like Lou Ferrigno so the M60 felt like a proper rifle, the M16 felt like a nerf gun...
as a rifle the M16's work just fine...if you can shoot worth a dang the E on the ribbon is achievable
When I was stuck with them, they never coughed...as I kept mine clean & the dust cover CLOSED.
Kind of important in sandy areas...lots of city kids discovered the hard way what happens when you don't close the cover after firing...
simply can't run around with the dust cover open...crud gets in there QUICK!!
Mag disciplne also must be maintained...can't be dropping 'em in the dirt all over the place...
heh, starting to become a reminder of the 80's/90's...LOL
Anyway, keep clean, lightly lubed, its a sewing machine.
Nowadays, I don't own any, the one I do have in the building process is for the Wifey...a Pink AR15...hey, gotta keep the Mrs. happy!!
As she's a redheaded retired GySgt, USMC...(yes, evidently I'm a glutton for punishment)
She no longer wants anything in Camo, unless its Pink Camo...she hit the Barbie button since becoming a Mom
Bad part, its making me want one again...nostalgia I guess...
Tennessee Arms Company is the lower of choice...so I can have my Green one
