LIn other words, 98, the training (repetitive training, I mean the kind you are talking about) just removes the part of the human nature that most of us have in which we don't have it in us to kill each other over and over. Yes, that can be done. I don't discount that at all. What mean is taking someone into battle, trained mind you, and then when their tour is over, just expecting them to return to what their previous normal was....no problems and such. That doesn't happen, and all one needs to look at is the suicide rates, PTSD rates, and the related problems with veterans. The current generation isn't much different than previous generations of Veterans in their pro lem, they are just handling them differently. I know of many WWII,and Korean vets back home that were forever changed by their experiences, and some overcame them with alot of time, some didn't and just did whatever the could to bury/overcome their problems. Vietnam Era veterans that I know have many of the same stories, just ZERO backing upon returning from overseas.....that didn't help at all. Mayhaps I look at this differently, but how I see the training to change the mindset works from your perspective just coarsense the person to being able to take lives on command. This toughen ing is a process of removing some of the moral structure some have that wouldn't be changed without the need for killing. I am not talking self defence, but war and killing. Not everyone has this softer side, if you will, and those that don't usually have had it removed through a tougher upbringing. I can say more later, when I have more time.

Removal of a normal set of morals (in order to make killing another human something automatic) for a determinant period of time, and then BAM!!! you are supposed to go bake to hoeing corn, baking bread, or just setting there with the dog watching sunsets? It never did work that way........and it never will. And I am not talking about those who were already predisposed to killing for fun and profit either. Most of them don't come back all fukd up, just better at it.

And just to let you guys know just how good these are....mine is STILL on the insulated coffee holder! It has been through even more dishwasher trips and still flies high the 308AR colors! Check the date of my original post and look at the calendar now......😎😈

The way it sounds, I hope Prime ends up owning most of RUAG. And if they have good lawyers, they should stand a good chance of at least breaking them a fair bit.

Done That! Most enjoyable is the clay pigeons on the 100 yard berm with the rimfires and irons. Usually too lazy to pick up shotgun hulls and carry them out there..... Tonight was the rocks/pebbles in the rimfire berm. 25~30 yards I think on that one.

I am rapidly following you, my eyes took a schitt right after my concussion last december.....not very happy with near AND far sighted eyes in the same head.

^^^^^^^ exactly!

22 Mag gets the barrel warm, very nicely. The M&P 15-22 I was testing for a friend was probably warmer, but doesn't have the fun factor of my Henry.....
-
I don't shoot much paper. Just the specks in the berm. I like that more, reactive targets on the cheap.

And in case you were wondering, APF Armory is who originally made these handguards. They just resold them to few other Distributors and like Fulton, they just renamed them.

Dammit, timing is everything....... I would have snatched that buttstock with the side sling swivel in less time than this took to type.
-
ar-mountaineer, I have sent an email off to the OEM maker of those handguards to see if they have hardware left. When they get back to me, i will let you know/pass it along.
-
They actually work with T-slot hardware. That was a type of "third" choice years back. Let me look when I get back home to remind myself what I did there. And if pics make it better, I will.post some for you. I am just on the other side of the state right at the moment.
-
I will say one thing about aftermarket A2's though. Be wary of the UTG stuff, mine needed some attention to make it fit correctly without wobble and the actual butt plate is plastic (which will be replaced in the future). Other than that, it is sized correctly....

I'm thinking if the dildAR was fired at those Venezuelan soldiers, they wouldn't be so tough then!!!!!!😨😲😂😂😂😂😂

I'm in also. PM incoming for address again.

I agree with this, I only lucked into buying a good 308AR from the start, and only had problems due to a ham fisted reloading mixup. The guys here are good for answering any and all questions about a 308AR or an AR10, and be ready to give as much information about your rifle as you can....Things will be made to work eventually.
-
It looks to be easy.....as long as both companies keep their upper and lower forging within "mil-spec" measurements on the pin holes. You might end up with color variations, slight differences in forging/finishing profiles, but I see no reason they shouldn't go together and work. Neither of my AR15 carbine have matched uppers/lowers by brand or anything else, and they both work just fine. They are supposedly in "mil-spec" condition....as manufactered.....hence they should work together, if you understand what I am saying.

First is my 308 AR with the vortex Scout scope on it. And second is my FUR, with the Leupold scout scope on it.
-
I think I think mostly they're not that popular because they are neither quite fish nor fowl, so to speak. They are the all-around type of rifle, not the tacticool, not the pure Target, and not the pure hunting, or pure anything type of rifle. they were they were designed to accomplish many things, but not be the best of any one thing. And therefore I think a lot of persons just don't quite get it, or understand where they fit/or how they work in many repertoires.

Yep, I remember those. And that's not an option that really seemed to float my boat in any which way.
