[QUOTE="Kevin Thomas, post: 508015, member: 15748"] Okay Darth, not a trekki, but I found out just how futile resistance was a long time ago. You're talking to a guy who went through basic with the M16, and then spent four years in an infantry unit and managed not to carry one again for almost my entire time in service. Had one very briefly a an RTO, and then took over an M60 the first time a spot came open. Carried that for over a year before going through sniper school, and then it was an M21 from there on out. I shot on the battalion team (M16s) for a part of each season, but when picked up by 101st MTU or 5th Army MTU transitioned to shooting Match M14s. Never liked the M16s, and I'll freely admit that. However . . . once the system fully matured, and we got the bullets that would equal the 30 cal offerings usable in the M14s, yeah, I had to grudgingly admit the fact that it's the better rifle. An average well-built AR will out shoot the best M14s ever put together, and it pains me to say that! Once I'd really started shooting the match tuned ARs seriously, oh yeah, there's no going back. I still love the M14s, but I'd have to be a fool not to admit the ARs superiority for this particular application. Like I said, resistance IS futile! Besides, your scores will go up, your reloading costs will go down, parts are one helluva lot cheaper and you can do 90% (or more) of the work yourself. What's not to love about that? [/QUOTE]
