Do not fuck with the Israelis.

A lot of defense-types/spec-ops/cops like a high profile rear sight, it can be used against a ledge to rack that gat one-handed.

AK's shot at us.
M-16's didn't always shoot for us.
Hard to pick a favorite.
My RTO carried a heavier M-14 along with the radio. Never didn't shoot.
He (and others in my platoon) is/were from Somerset in your neighborhood.

Ifn you carry carry loaded ,
Ifn you shoot you shoot to kill , F Knees , legs , and arms
Id Carry a M14 as well , but i didnt have a choice , until they desided i needed a M60 , now THAT i liked !!!!

AKs having such loose tolerances is what enables ya to bury the fucker in sand, dig it out a year later and have it spit out bullets (into the general area you're shooting at), casings, and the sand.

M-14s/16s are/were toleranced (<--?) much tighter, and don't like the sand so much.

AKs are good for jump starting cars/trucks too.

How are they--oh, folding stock,

Very interesting.

Lab guy gets his google blown off. Funny.

You should see how much more powerful that blow-by is indoors. Brutal.

I got lucky - a 2nd generation Colt 3rd Model Dragoon - C series. It is unfired in the original box. Cylinder even looks unturned. I picked it up for less than what I would have paid for a Uberti. I definitely will be holding on to this horse pistol to pass down. Here's a breakdown on what a C Series 2nd Generation is -

The production of the Colt 2nd Generation Black Powder reproductions took place in three stages. Initially, Colt Industries tested the waters with Val Forgett's help to build their first "C" Series 1851 Navy reproductions in the 1971-1973 time frame, which had included the now very collectible Grant and Lee Navy sets. These revolvers had the barrels, cylinders, and backstraps cast in Italy, but were finished off at Colt's facilities in Hartford, CT. where Forgett had the the frames, the center pins, nipples, all of the screws, springs made and built for every "C" Series gun at Colt Manufacturing. However, in late 1973, Colt Manufacturing Co. decided to seek a new supplier of components, and Lou Imperato, Colt's largest distributor at the time, was about to take over production.
Beginning in 1974, Lou Imperato replaced Val Forgett as Colt's supplier of components to build their percussion revolvers. These revolvers were completed in exactly the same way as all of their previously made 2nd Generation percussion revolvers – AT COLT'S FACILITIES - from 1974 to 1976. They had the barrels, cylinders, and backstraps cast in Italy and were finished off at Colt's facilities in Hartford, CT. where Imperato had the frames, the center pins, nipples, all of the screws, and springs made for every "C" Series gun.
The guns produced in this time frame were packaged in wood grain, cardboard boxes. The relationship with Imperato continued until Colt discontinued their entire "C" Series line of percussion revolvers in 1976.

Nice Pistol. I've always wondered about having a weapon and never firing it. I know they are worth more unfired, but what's the fun in that. That would be so much fun ventilating tin cans, or ringing steel. Black Powder is Fun!

[Gravdigr]

Wait til the smoke clears to see if ya hit anything.

I should shoot the black powder arms we have around here. Couple rifles, a Philly Derringer, a shotgun, one revolver, they ain't been shot in forever.
