I figure this could happen around here! Paddy had been drinking at his local Dublin pub all day and most of the night celebrating St Patrick’s Day. At one point, Mick the bartender says, ‘You’ll not be drinking anymore tonight, Paddy’. Paddy replies, ‘OK Mick, I’ll be on my way then’. Paddy spins around on his stool and steps off. He falls flat on his face. ‘Damn,’ he says and pulls himself up by the stool and dusts himself off. He takes a step towards the door and falls flat on his face again. ‘Damn, damn!’ He looks to the doorway and thinks to himself that if he can just get to the door and some fresh air he’ll be fine. He belly crawls to the door and shimmies up to the door frame. He sticks his head outside and takes a deep breath of fresh air, feels much better and takes a step out onto the sidewalk and falls flat on his face. ‘By Jeebers… I’m a little crocked,’ he says. He can see his house just a few doors down, and crawls to the door, hauls himself up the door frame, opens the door and shimmies inside. He takes a look up the stairs and says, ‘No damn’ way’. He crawls up the stairs to his bedroom door and says ‘I can make it to the bed!’ He takes a step into the room and falls flat on his face. He says ‘Damn it!’ and falls into bed. The next morning, his wife, Jess, comes into the room carrying a cup of coffee and says, ‘Get up Paddy. Did you have a bit to drink last night ?’ Paddy says, ‘No Jess, what makes you say that?’ ‘Mick phoned… you left your wheelchair at the pub. —

It has been raining a lot this weekend but I am going to Whataburger anyway.......

We always have to think about the rizeing cost of ammo, good point!

Yeah, and the warning shot will be the one right after the one to the center of body mass, so don't worry about shouting out "Drop that pea-shooter a-hole".......... just concentrate on getting the first shot off! Don't forget to make a regular trip to the range and practice, practice and practice some more!

This sounds like a set of two couples that share a wholesome culture of shooting and grillin' smokin' cusine became great friends. Way to go!

I don't tell. Don't even ask.....

I will say for an old codger, as I be, there is ample information about 308AR rifles here, but late 90s Armalite historical stuff could be Lacking. We be more into making them shoot, than studying semi modern history.

Why you ask Grasshopper?

Actually, shooting under a bull pasture 3 wire barb wire fence with a Daisy Red Ryder was how I learned and perfected my prone position, and just as importantly how to quickly arise and haul ass!...of course I had two younger brothers and I taught them the finer points of pissing on the electric fence. Only one session of OJT made them fast learners! I did lie to them just a bit when I told them it would shut off the electricity. They really never completely believed me ever since......

Cow pasture pool.........This might not be very funny to some of you fellers, but it shore wuz to me!!!

Remember that ATF was pumped up, back after Lee Harvy Oswald mail ordered an Itialian Carcano WWII surplus bolt action army rifle and used it to kill JFK? WOW! ....See how things have grown, like cabbage and corn with the Govt. being in charge? FFLs, DeFacto gun registration, AMMO, firearms, bans, restricted import laws. All the while criminals have shown a reluctance to obey the law, Law abiding citizens get the purple gel double ended 36" X 105 MM dildo applied as usual.......to the usual orifice.

I don't know. I don't frequent other LR - AR 300, 308, forumns. That is my answer.

AMEN!

The "Bolt Roller" was added to the M14 bolt to reduce friction on the operating rod, this was done to increase the reliability of the rifle in full auto mode. The operating rod was shortened for the same reason, these modifications were not needed on the M1 because of the 8 round enbloc magazine capacity and semi automatic only. The 20 round magazine capacity also allowed a much higher sustained rounds per miniute fireing rate. I believe that the sustained rate of fire for the M1 was 32 rounds per minute. I have seen a higher sustained rate from experianced Marine rifleman that actually caused the barrel to turn red hot and linseed oil on the forearm smoked and dripped off in sustained fire training exercises.

Things that make you go Hummmmmmm !

Shop , M-14 Charging Handle?, maybe you were referring to the operating rod handle? That is okay this one time, but next time please call it by it's real name. After all it isn't off a Armalite or a DPMS or a Colt- by- Mattel.

Okay Guy you done did it!......... calling me a maybe liberal gun-grabber sounding like. Them are By-Damn fighting words! In your goat smelling Lexicon trash talking stuff anyway!

As far as I know the 1000 ' distance is a local or state option. And so is the alcohol sales distance. Both seem stupid to me, as you probably can buy more dangerous stuff inside the school building.

Don't really make any difference in functioning as long as the hole is facing forward to back and the firing pin doesn't bind. it is probably easier to insert and remove with the flat side to the rear. The ARmalite cam pin should also fit in a DPMS pattern bolt.

It is so, before we had an automatic Rifleman we had a BAR man, and then when the BAR (3006) was phased out the Marine carrying the full auto M-14 AR 7.62 NATO) was the Automatic Rifleman, since he carried the AR. Other than that I just made a funny about the Armpit. Lighten up!

Are you sure AR stands for Armlite, and not Armpit? Before there wuz a Armalite it stood for Automatic Rifle then Assault Rifle.
