[QUOTE="Seadog, post: 3754080, member: 9018"] I’m not sure if you’re getting part of my post mixed up with RickN. I’ve never really hated the M-16. I just thought it was ugly. Cool but ugly. I think it was the carry handle. I’m quite familiar with of its early history and issues that it had. Like they were using the wrong bullets and powder for it. They took the chrome lining out of the barrel. Caused pitting in the chamber and caused cases to stick. There is a myriad of other things that I’m not thinking of at the moment. Basically the military took something that was good and messed it up. But as time has shown people have learned and it has turned into an outstanding platform. Very versatile and in many calibers like you stated. [/QUOTE]
