PLEASE NOTE: None of this new equipment was available back in my time (M14 & XM16E2) and it is surely much better.

I had a AFG shipped to me by mistake. I was thinking SCORE! I put it on and can't get a good feel for it. I feel like I'm twisting my wrist to much. I'm just going to hold on to it for now. I might like it on a middy AR. Next time I go to the range, I'll take it with me and swap it out with my broomstick.

Just threw on a Sage EBR stock my Springfield Scout, (Got rid of the SOCOM16 due to horrible ballistics for longer distances). Still a work in progress.

Got artistic with a pile of uniforms and my new toys.

First up is my G21 with an Elliot Match Grade Slide Lock and Ameriglo Sights. Now rocks a Glock Tac-Light when it sits in my nightstand. Still trying to work on shooting with both eyes open, when I focus on the front site I can't see the rear sight at all and I see 2 or 3 targets.

Just got the rifle today, Daniel Defense M4V2. Comes with the Magpul stock, but I added the pistol grip and vertical grip. Just gonna stay with iron sights for a long time until I shoot like a professional and then I'll add an ACOG.

Took it to Gunsmith #1 who looked it over from several angles and said it looked good. Looks being deceiving I took it to Gunsmith #2 who drooled over it and told me to shoot it but with Managed-Recoil, 125gr rounds as precautionary because of the low serial number issue.

I shot it using the recommended ammo. The little darlin' shoots great at 100yds. I had problems with figuring out the caliper site because of my high stupid exponent. Would like to find a Springfield club some place close and compare notes with especially patient people. Also need to find a good manual. Next gunshow close by is on New Years Day in Fredericksburg, VA.

Gentlemen,
Apolagies for the editing, I realized after posting that I cannot hyperlink.

First civillian AR-15, not a round fired through it yet. Upper and lower receivers are BCM and rear ruis is from magpull. More apolagies for the grainy picture, my digital camera got ate by the puppy who though it was a chew toy and took it off my desk so I had to use my black berry.

Larry,

Enjoy it, they're helluva great rifles. I have a WW2 vintage 03-A3 from the CMP that shoots less than 1 moa... better than _I_ do, that's for sure! It being a newer rifle, it shoots mil surp 30-06 just fine, but if you indeed have a low serial number 03, then it sounds like you are aware of the proper precautions due to the softer steel....

Here are some 03 references that may help you with your questions -

Have fun - I need to get myself a WWI-vintage 03 to add to my collection!

Gits,

What ballistic advantage does the scout provide over the SOCOM?

Larry,

The original military manual for the Springfield M1903 is available in PDF somewhere online, I know because I downloaded it. I'll see if I can find it for you.

In my experience with my old SOCOM 16, it was about a 2-3 MOA Gun, if I was lucky it would shoot MAYBE 1.5 MOA. Not to mention the 16.25 barrel does not get full powder burn as opposed to the scouts 18 inch barrel. (I don't reload so I never planned on developing a good load for it) I did a bunch of research and there were quite a fair amount of people with the same issues. Got a buddy who had a SOCOM 16 as well and he was getting around 1.5-2 MOA. Evey once and a while a guy would get able to get 1 MOA out of his gun. Then again It does what it's supposed to, it was really not meant for a precision weapon but I wanted something that could shoot 600-800m a lot more accurately or have the option to shoot distance.

The above is a Sig Sauer 229 S-4 with 4.4" threaded barrel, SRT (short reset trigger), adjustable combat sights and rail system. Got it at the BX for only $875 out the door, brand new! Our unit issues the M-11 as opposed to the M-9, but mine has a slightly larger frame and feels more comfortable to shoot.

The smaller toy is a SKYY 9mm. It's great for the ankle, but the safety is horrible. It is the rear lever and up is safe, down is fire. If not held right, the recoil can force your thumb knuckle to engage the safety after each shot because it is such a small grip. IMHO, it is a piece of junk and will be traded for a real gun.

Good to know about the SKYY, I was looking at them for a BUG. I change my mind everyday it seems, and todays change is dumping my bushmaster carbine upper for a DD Middy w/ a DD 12" quad rail. It's a 16" w/ a 1:7 and an upgraded BCG. Found a great deal on them and will be selling the bushy to offset the cost.

Definately stay away from SKYY!! In a pinch, it will put you in a bad situation.

I was at the SHOT show in Vegas and saw many great BUG's. I am particular to Glock and Sigs and was looking at the Sig P220R. We have an indoor range with a wide assortment and I am going to try out different models and will post when I find a good one.

Got the .pdf manual. Thanks, Mohaveman and RichL025.
