[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4203851, member: 45773"] You're way outta your league on this and don't have a clue what you're talking about. If you don't like it, fine. But don't be pulling the reasons for not liking it outta your backside. Twist rate has nothing to do with the function of the rifle. Chrome lining of the barrel wasn't the solution to the extraction issues. Chrome lining the chamber was and the .mil knew that for years...since fighting in the Pacific theater in WWII. But McNamara and his band of merry a-holes were penny pinchers and the DC bureaucrats were the real source of problems for the gun. Bad stuff happens when you have people who don't know a gun from a Pop Tart making policy about guns. All you have to do is look at democrat-run states to see that's true. Once they started chrome lining the chambers and making a few other enhancements (SS gas tubes, proper ammo powder, etc...) most of the function issues disappeared well before the war was over. And who gives a rat's ass about "lots of guys" and their preferences? Who are these "lots of guys"...imaginary friends? Were you actually in the jungle with soldiers and Marines who actually used the rifle? What about the majority who used the gun for years without issue? They don't count? People spread disinformation about lots of things, oftentimes when they don't really have first hand information. They just repeat random BS they've heard until someone else believes it as fact. Adoption of the A2 began in the early 80s. The early issues with the rifle had long since been rectified by then. You should read this and learn something instead of spouting off the same nonsense over and over like a broken record: [URL unfurl="true"]https://smallarmsreview.com/the-m16-in-vietnam/[/URL] RE: The forward assist... Here's what Chris Bartocci has to say about it: I agree with that. There is no need for a forward assist regardless of whether it's used by someone or not. There are other ways to quietly close the bolt into battery. And in case anyone's wondering... I'm not angry and I'm not being rude. I am calling out BS, though. [/QUOTE]
