[Vaquero]

Guy asked about ak47 and ar15.
Y'all arguing m16 and ak74.

Yeah, so?

How many threads on here have gotten so far off track that no one can remember what the original post/question was?!?

Plus, the OP only started the thread to reach the magical 25 post mark so he could sell his Tantal in the classifieds!

 

[TxStetson]

So a troll asks a pointed question about a heated topic, and y’all are still arguing 5 days later. Let it die already.

I vote to change it to two weeks and 50 posts.

Ackshuahlly,

The first .222 rifle submitted to the M board for trials in the 50s was the AR-15M.

It always should have been 30 days and 50 posts... Posting just to get the count up to sell something is ridiculous and should be a punishable offense. This person has no interest in being part of the community.

The original question was "How many posts do I need before I can post in the classifieds?"

 

[easy rider]

Almost there!

Any time a question starts with "aside from", there's a good chance it's at least partially rhetorical.


I just found it odd that you're choosing to present the two rifles as being from radically eras, when in reality they were invented 8 years apart.

There's no need to get snippy.

It felt like trolling, and like TxStetson mentioned, I was hoping the thread would die at the time. Snippy can sometimes be a thread killer.

I'd be fine with comparing the original AR15 (with the powder issues, no forward assist, lack of case hardening, etc) to the original AK47... but what we all know as the AR15 today has had 60 years of evolution.

Some of those evolution branches brought the design closer to the AK47, not further away. I look at the history of each because I find it interesting... even going back to the evolution of the AR10... Inrange has some cool interviews on full30.com with Jim Sullivan (who worked with Eugene Stoner on the AR15) with some really interesting insight.

.....when what you should be arguing is FAL vs. AR-10.

If you really want to start a fire, ask people why they use an outdated, jam-o-matic, like the 1911



Heres to hoping that TxStetson and oldag dont block me

An elegant weapon for a more civilized age. It's as outdated as a M2 machine gun

I don't have any problems with jams. Perhaps your limp wrists are the problem?

Although I do believe that's funny, comparing a cheap 1911 to all 1911's is about like comparing a Glock knock off to all Glocks.

I vote having an existing member vouch for you. Come to a weekly lunch or find a local person to meet you for coffee or something.
Otherwise just get rid of the requirement all together.

Yeah, but inversely. The cheap ones actually run!

 

[oldag]

.. comparing a Glock knock off to all Glocks.

Is there any difference in tupperware?

 

[TheMailMan]

Yeah, but inversely. The cheap ones actually run!

That's because they haven't taken a combat pistol and tried to turn it into a target pistol.

A combat 1911 is going to be a bit on the loose side. Ya gotta have somewhere for the dirt to go.

The more they change the specs, the tighter it's made the more failure points you introduce...unless you take the time to properly fit the parts.

That’s it, you’re on double secret probation.

 

[majormadmax]

Of all the people on the internet or in person that I've encountered only one seems to be fair and balanced when it comes to gun topics. That man? Paul Harrell. He presents the facts in a scientific manner and then lets YOU Decide.....

I've become quite engrossed in Paul Harrell's videos on YouTube...

 

[m5215]

which would be better and which would be the best ? overall ?

I could not make up my mind so I got both.
