[QUOTE="Trickymissfit, post: 859573, member: 25383"] I'm so old that I was issued an AR15 with the full auto selector. It had the short buffer and the light weight spring. No chrome anywhere. The frame even had the AR15 logo cast into it! The barrel was a 1:13 twist, and hits were ugly. They changed the spring in Jan 68 to a much heavier one, and two weeks later changed the buffer to the long one as well. I never had a problem with the older setup, and it was what we called a "hummer." It shot that fast! A couple weeks later they changed the entire upper assembly with all the hard chromed stuff. The rifle seemed to be more accurate. Folks seemed to die just as quickly, and never gave it a second thought. Plus my main interest at the time was with the "hog." Two weeks later I wept gary [/QUOTE]
