    The Greatest Battle Implement Ever Devised? I Wouldn't Trust My Life To One!

    If you read the posts on the cmp forum it seems that half the M1's out there have some sort of functioning problem and according to the experts the problem can be traced back to a part that is worn .001" What kind of battle rifle is that?

    The experts were the men who used them, I assure you .001 did not come into play, the so called experts, are just that "experts called by themselves".

    An "Ex" is a has-been and a "Spurt" is a drip under pressure.

    I think that the functioning problem quite often is the one holding the rifle.

    Is that why limp-wristed liberals have a problem with firearms?

    OG, why start now? Lol
    I concur that one-thousandth of an inch means nothing, unless you're going to the moon or Mars. Five-thousandths, however, is enough room to drive a freight train through. I also agree that more often than not, the functioning problem is located between the ears.

    In the question of which rifle you'd trust your life to.... In your eyes what is more reliable? The M16 platform or the Garand?

    I would trust mine with my life,and my families lives,however,if I were in Antarctica I may choose an M1917? I sometimes think grabbing my M14 clone may make more sense though as far as ammo capacity,and availability???
