I'm going to buy a new rifle.

[remedy1]

I'm thinking it's going to be a Larue Tactical OSR in 7.62, with the adapter for my Surefire suppressor.

Mark makes great stuff. Gotta have one.

(I like black, scary looking rifles...)

3. Better hurry -Obama's stockpiling them, according to the RW loonies.

He's gonna take over the world, he is................

[CountAllVotes]

9. here is a supply for you

just in case. :D

[Hangingon]

35. you mean this?

36. Who the hell said Obama's stockpiling weapons?

[TheCowsCameHome]

42. Paranoid nutcases on the right - check this link.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

45. So one guy overheard at a gun range is your source, okay. Thanks.

[TheCowsCameHome]

46. Wouldn't be surprised if there were more out there with similar beliefs.

Nothing would surprise me when it comes to the hatred of President Obama by some people.

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

47. So you think this is a widely held belief?

[TheCowsCameHome]

48. Widely? No. But not surprising either..........

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

49. No it's not surprising that a very small number of people believe that.

Of course a small number of people believe that fake planes were flown into the World Trade Center. They say the real planes and all the people on board are in hiding in the Caribbean.

4. short barreled, big rounds ... this is a waste ... I'll keep the long 5.562 (old M16 style)

[cliffordu]

5. ....And I'll stay with a nice M-14.

7.62mm NATO round.

When you absolutely, positively have to kill whatever you shoot.

[thunder rising]

8. As long as you can carry it and enough ammo to get the job done. A lot of folks like the M14

A little story about deer hunting with .223 hollow point and a .270 both made nearly identical shots (a day apart, but remarkably similar situations) .223 exploded like a grenade inside the deer and liquidated everything. The 270 passed thorough and we had to trail it for 1/2 a mile.

I like having all energy expended inside the target ... not in a tree or wall behind it.

[Iktomiwicasa]

15. You were lucky

[TheWraith]

51. Oh, come on.

Unlike a fire team running full-auto, you're not going to be going through hundreds of rounds under any likely scenario, and the larger caliber of the .308 rounds inarguably makes for a better chance at a one shot kill all other things being equal. Just don't use mil-surp ammo that's likely to overpenetrate.

[billyoc]

10. I'm with you, that thing up there looks like a carbine.

[safeinOhio]

27. carbine

I'm about to buy my first wicked gun. Ok I'm a cheapskate. I just have to have one of those $200.00 High-Point 9mm carbines. About all I shoot are 22s and 9mm.

[Lasher]

11. Pretty close to my favorite, the .30-06.

My Browning BAR II Safari throws them out there mighty fine.

I have fired the M-14, BTW, but never on full auto.

[cliffordu]

16. They're kind of useless at full auto - but if you put a scope on one....

Well, there are Seal team snipers using them, even today.....

[TheWraith]

52. The M-21 Tactical: the most accurate semi-auto rifle on the market.

If only I could afford one. :)

[east texas lib]

50. Roger that!

Simple, dependable, accurate, lethal. It's got it all.

[remedy1]

6. I've got 5 AR's in 5.56...

Thought I'd try something in 7.62. :-)

[thunder rising]

7. Sorry, I agree with that ... I too am thinking 308 in an AR style (long barrel tho)

[cliffordu]

18. YEP - The AR in 308 is a great firearm.

Scary black weapon to be sure..

:rofl:

I've never fired one in .308, but I'll bet it'd be more controllable overall.

[TheWraith]

53. I'll trade you my .308 rifle for one of your ARs.

Mind you, mine is a bolt-action Enfield knockoff, but still... :D

[MrPerson]

12. Can you find one that looks like a penis? That would be cool.

[Iktomiwicasa]

17. Is yours malfunctioning?

Maybe you should get it checked out, and see why it acts up every time someone says *gun* :)

[cliffordu]

19. Well...

:rofl:

[MrPerson]

21. Go clean your gun.

[dairydog91]

24. I'm confused.

By "gun", do you mean firearm or penis? You really ought to be more specific here. Both guns and penises should be well-maintained, but they require different types of maintainance: I don't think that KY belongs in a gun and I'm not about to pour Copper Solvent all over Mr Happy.

[cliffordu]

30. I dunno - I like Hoppes 9 myself...glides smooth and never stains....

[Iktomiwicasa]

31. A fair number of my guns

digest black powder. That means they need to be cleaned ASAP after use, or you end up with a pile of corroded scrap. So, it isn't a fetish like the uninformed seem to believe, it is required maintenance.

[jmg257]

22. Here ya go - looks a bit small, but if you use 2 hands - you'd probably enjoy it!

Remember on the trigger, don't jerk it...squuuueeeezzzee.

Just don't chip your teeth or anything.

[MrPerson]

25. Cool.

[dairydog91]

26. Brandishing that...

...might very well frighten a home invader almost as much as a gun would.

[Statistical]

28. lol. Funny mental image. Shocked look on home inavders face when he is held up by a dick n/t

[Fire_Medic_Dave]

38. That's some funny shit.

[Statistical]

29. Anyone notice the disturbing trend w/ antis and penis references?

At one point is was just once and a while but now everything single thread has some anti-rights person with reference to penises.

I mean what is it w/ antis and constant penis on the brain?

No matter how many times it is pointed out they look stupid, or childish, or reaching for penis reference likely means you have already lost the argument it doesn't matter....

they have this bizarre penis post compulsion.

Maybe PPA? Penis Posts Anonymous would be a good start?

[spin]

32. Recently it's been hard to miss...

The anti-gun posters seem to be unable to debate the facts presented by the pro-gunners. Therefore some resort to trying to get an angry reaction by insulting the pro-gunners.

Ridicule is the first and last argument of a fool.
Charles Simmons

[remedy1]

33. Facts? They don't need no steenkin' facts....

First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they fight you, then you win.

37. I think they are bringing their home problems to DU.

44. That site *jokingly* refers to use of sniper rifles at the Inauguration.

Be advised, Obama has blown our scheduling all to heck ... so place an order if you like, but don't be hounding us as to when it'll arrrive. What with the ShotShow looming, and the inauguration (j/k), we're looking at a delivery of sometime in the mid to late 1st quarter of 09.

How nice. :banghead:

[walnutpie]

55. You missed the joke

They are joking about attending the inauguration. See, they are attending the Shot Show, they are not attending the inauguration.

[dairydog91]

14. Some suggestions...

1. You may want to upgrade to a 20" barrel. Particularly if you plan to stick a scope on the rifle.
2. Don't bother with a collapsible M4gery buttstock. Get the standard M-16 stock, or something like a Mako Sniper Buttstock.

The way I see it, if you're using .308, you're using it on a ranged target, so just set the rifle up as a true long-range semi-auto (Basically like a DMR).

[remedy1]

20. Good suggestions...

I'll probably go with the 18".

I've got an extra Vltor EMOD here that I may also use, but the Mako sure looks nice.

[dairydog91]

23. Check out the Magpul PRS while you're at it. nt

[dashrif]

34. I say

You can't go wrong with that and it's easy on the brass unlike a Saiga or L1A1/Fal for reload and trust me you will want to reload as .308 is fast becoming a rich-mans game being almost a buck a shot for cheep store bought soft point or .50 a shot for cheep fmj wolf\s-bear with steel case that you can't reload plus not good idea for AR10 to use steel

Good Luck:toast:

[rl6214]

39. I was thinking of building

a 6.8mm. I have 5 stripped lowers in my safe just waiting to be built.

[Xela]

41. Congratulations...

I'm partial to AK types myself, but darn if those S&W AR's don't like sharp just the same.

Too bad prices have gotten quite prohibitive with my budget.

Xela

[SlingBlade]

43. Cool, Freeps got nothing on us

Keep er locked and loaded

[yay]

54. I'll take a saiga in .308

Very nice platform based on the AK, Makes a good "scout" rifle too.

Though the .308 AR is also a damn good platform.
