[QUOTE="crkckr, post: 2729108, member: 78056"] Budlight, I suspect maybe you're thinking about the HK line of rifles, with their gas eject system helping to eject the spent cases? Like Laelkhunter, I've had an HK91 and they nearly destroy the brass, assuming you can even find it! The cases get thrown easily 50' from the shooter and they leave sooty striations on the neck and shoulder that do not come out! I've had cases that were cracked along those striations that had been sitting loaded for a while (maybe 5 years or so) leaving the bullet loose in the case. The cases are also absolutely filthy when you find them and difficult to clean. The majority of the .308 cases I've lost have been through the 91. Fine weapon but extremely hard on brass. My buddies FN was no problem when it came to brass. Military rifles generally have somewhat higher tolerance when it comes to chamber dimensions, as well, and that doesn't help things at all. However, say what you will about either the HK or FN, I've never seen a failure to extract with either one! Cheers, crkckr [/QUOTE]
