[QUOTE="trbii, post: 833973, member: 2449"] Had a Socom 16 carbine for a while last year. Shot it a couple of times at 25yds., 100 and 200 yds. Used a couple different reloads, 165 and 168 gr. SMK and some FED 168 match ammo from benchrest and loop slung prone. The accuracy with the factory aperture iron sight that came on that carbine was about equal to the "AK-47" type Arsenal rifles that I own. In fact with the ammo that my two Arsenals like best, they out shoot the Socom from 25-100yds. An old Highpower competitor US Army rifle team shooter from the 1950's service era pointed out the loose rear aperture problem to me right off the bat. Maybe they shoot better with $400.00 Aimpoint red dot sights on them. I don't know. I had no trouble getting my $900.00 back out of that carbine, though. A young guy just back from service in Iraq, answered my newspaper ad, took one look at it, nodded his head yes and started laying $100.00 bills down on my gun cleaning table. I set him up with a oiled, broken in 1903 style leather sling, two twenty round mags and four boxes of ammo to boot. He said the squad marksmen had been getting good results with them over in the sand box. God bless them and him. Thanked him for his service. [/QUOTE]
