Apparently the guy on the other forum is a TAPCO commando with a set of screwdrivers from Midway. This makes him a gunsmith, I guess. After he informed me that the issue M16's are more accurate than National Match .30 cal rifles at any range, and greentip 5.56 has more penetration at long range anyway, I just let it drop.
He really needs to tell the Army that they are foolishly wasting money equipping snipers and DMR's with unnecessary rifles and ammo, when they ought to be giving them rack grade M16s and that anti-tank 5.56 ammo.
Anyway, I'm about done there. Nothing I can teach such a well-trained basement ninja, and darn sure nothing he can teach me.
Sorry for the thread hi-jack, Goomba.
By the way, when I went to Anniston, one of the carbines I picked up was blued, but not marked as a Bavarian issue. Anyone else seen this?
