What's this?

Happy Birthday to the M5 AR and M250 SAW!

When 5.56 no longer kills your enemy, go to 6.8mm at 80,000 lbs. Very impressive.

I have an AR-15 that is a M16 clone -- HokieR 04/20/2022 7:55PM

The M16A1 or M16A2 version? -- AirborneHokie96 04/21/2022 09:35AM

A2 version. I've had it over 20 years ** -- HokieR 04/21/2022 1:27PM

That round is a hot one ** -- HokieR 04/20/2022 11:26AM

Had hoped those composite cases might have made it into the contract -- EDGEMAN 04/20/2022 12:13PM

I wonder if you have to pick up composite cases at the range -- AirborneHokie96 04/20/2022 4:25PM

Probably, but they probably want you to drop them into the trash. ** -- EDGEMAN 04/20/2022 7:10PM

Sorry. No link. But the 6.8 round isn't like -- HokieR 04/20/2022 11:22AM
