Compared to both the 5.56Nato and the 7.62Nato how well would a .270 work as a military cartridge?

I assume that the Army wants one rifle to do as many jobs as possible to keep from having logistics problems that would arise if the military had many different general issue weapons.

Thank your for the info on stainless steel barrels. Is the main reason for choosing stainless is its corrosion resistance or something else? "Don't believe anything from THAT source again." I don't blame the source for being wrong in this instance. The commentary was written in the 90s...

I wish to apologize for any hurt feelings. I wrote this post late last night while I was angry (it was not the time to write anything) about the problems on the border and the lack of action to fix the problem. I will delete all of the offensive things in that post. I ask for forgiveness from...

PS. Is the concept a poor one?

In light of the problems along the border, how hard would it be to gather a bunch of like minded sportsmen to patrol the southern border for the Christmas season? By "bunch" I mean thousands. We would have to be armed. I am not talking about enforcing immigration laws but just patrolling a...

I am interested in rust bluing a rifle. Should I have a gunsmith blue the rifle, or is rust bluing something that I should do my self?
