Why not a folder

Shorter OAL and no one really has them. Kinda rare, as there are only two makers, ZM and Olympic.

And it shoots fine folded, just a bit awkward to hold because of the weight.

I wouldn't want one. I shoot comfortably just the way mine is. I see Iraqi's all the time with folder Ak's and cant help but think that they cant hit crap shooting like that.

Really not too difficult. Have a cheapy Hakko on it in that pic but with an EOTech or reflex site, it's easy. Lining up irons wouldn't be much fun, but on non-parallax reflex sights and such, just put the dot where you want it to go. Don't have to be looking straight down the optic.

I know how the EOTECH works Perhaps its not as bad with 5.56, but its rediculous with 7.62 to try to shoot with all the force going into your wrists.

Let's hope the insurgents like folding stocks also.

Eh, they dont seem to bother shooting anymore unless they are a "sniper".

Just curious, why a folder? Do you ever actually shoot with it folded? I'm sure its possible with an AR, but I wouldn't want to.

So is that semi only or also full auto? And, if you say it has 3 round burst...well I am going to have to change my pants again.

Semi

Freaking cheapskate. You should have spent ten times as much to have a 20+ year old rifle with significant wear and tear. Or, you could've become a federal agent. Some FBI SWAT guys get to take full auto weapons home with them.

I'm missing pics of the M14 and G3

Your AR-15 is on fire Safety first.

The safety on the AR can only be engaged if it is cocked. I do not store my weapons cocked in a state with potential energy (i.e.: springs compressed), therefore I cannot engage the safety.

The first thing that I thought of when he pointed that out is a line from Blackhawk Down -

Steele: I'm talking about your weapon, soldier. Now Delta or no-Delta, that's still a hot weapon. Your safety should be on at all times.
"Hoot": This is my safety, sir.

The govt. won't let me have a gun, legally.
I really don't own anything but some hunting shotguns and rifles.

A question for you guys. Why do you have many more than one of the same gun? Is it mostly for collecting purposes?

Mostly because I can. Black Rifle Disease is a killer.

AR-15

Edit: I never would have thought so many people in ATOT own military pattern weapons. You guys are awesome.

That too.

What's with all the M4s and carbines? The 556 needs all the barrel/velocity it can get in order for it's effectiveness to be disproportional to its caliber size.

Man up and get a full length rifle next time

I was just messing with you. AR's ARE supposed to be stored on SEMI. Military arms rooms are supposed to do that with M4's/M16's. Of course, most units are ignorant and so that doesn't happen.

Because I dont really shoot past 100 yards with mine. If I was sniping critters, then sure I'd get a longer barrel, but I'm not.

The SKS and the AK are another story though, you missed those The AK safety lever moves up to block the bolt in safe position so it must be moved into the fire position in order to check and clear the weapon, etc.

But I treat my guns the same regardless, the safety being on or off, makes no difference.

I don't chamber rounds in military style weapons with free floating firing pins unless I am using them. The only weapon I keep chambered and loaded is my USP which is my daily carry piece, and it has a trigger operated firing pin locking mechanism making discharge impossible without the trigger being held in the firing position.

I consistently hit coyotes with my m4 out to 250-300 yards, its not that hard.

The main purpose of my M4 is to help me fight my way back to my M1a if we get separated.

M14 now we're talking!

Though a 5.56x45mm at 300 yds out of 14.5" barrel is much less gruesome (read: effective) than out of a 20" barrel even with NATO loads. Critical impact velocity for disproportionate wounding effects is about 2,700 fps with standard M855 or M193 ammo. Personally I prefer slower twist rates and longer barrels with 55gr canelured bullets when lethality is required, in absence of the choice of 7.62x51mm of course. 1:7 twist with 62 gr M855 'green tip' just doesn't cut it.

What is the terminal effect on a coyote at 300 yards from your shorty? Do you just get a .22 cal bullet hole or do you still have explosive 10" exit wounds? Experience tells me the former is more likely, though I've never shot coyotes in particular. It may not make a difference with smaller less dense animals, but it means life or death with larger more dense 'animals'.

What about the .50 BMG Barrett?

My brothers M4..... Yes, it's a sh1tty scope, I know. But that b1tch sure is fun to fire.

First, and only since, full auto weapon I've ever shot.

The first time I went with him I brought a girlfriend who, turns out, she hated guns. She had a blast though, and no one in her family believed she did it!

Pics from that days shoot.

What are those dents in the power supply? Let me guess, .223 fired from the M4 that got stopped by cheap sheet metal? I rest my case (see previous post)

That or it's hard to make out the hole in the center, and the surrounding dents are secondary projectiles that were liberated from the power supply PCB

That rifle was definitely made post 1986. What does your brother do for a living?

Er, so he has a $15,000 rifle and uses a $100 sight?

Precisely why he can't afford a sight

But that looks nearly brand new, he's probably military, law enforcement, or has a civilian class III demo letter or something, in which case it was only $2000 at most.

Psychological warfare

Actually, the guy that I bought it from shot a coyote with his newer AR-50, at about 650 yards or so. One hell of a shot.

Mostly I shoot 55gallon steel drums with mine, set out to around 800-1200 yards, depending on where I am shooting.

I reload the ammo for it, but even then it is expensive enough that I do not shoot it nearly as often as I would like.

was the coyote a threat to him?
