best military rifle

F Y I - the AK - 47 is the world's most produced firearm. There is in excess of (get this) 100,000,000.I THINK I got enough zeros. One Hundred MILLION -thats right..ONE HUNDRED MILLION !! Themind can't even imagine that many ! Sadly - MOST of them have been produced without any royalties being paid to the Ruskies.They hold the patent - but nobody honours it.(Try THAT with an American rifle!!)

Tony;
My mate (Robert Camp) was born in Liverpool (I'm Aug 7th, he's Aug 6th) His dad joind the Brit army just before the war, served through the war, & then a full carreer after.Red Devils - RSM.They lived EVERYWHERE that empire was. Bob Sr & the Mrs hadn't seen each other in over a year (closer to 2, actually)He was in Malta-I believe-& RAF was brining the Mrs & a few other military families to settle in.She told the story of how as they were approaching to land - they could see the paratroops leavin the other end..On they're way to the Suez!
Robert Sr. was presented the B.E.M. by HM Elizabeth, for his work in Jamaica.
Seems as though someone was always givin the world a hot foot in those days!
Geez - you ARE old !

i guess no oby knows how many ak's have been made?

i personally dont like the garand because is semi-automatic. this is me personally, i just dont like semi-automatics. i dont know a whole lot about the M1 so i cant say whats 'really' bad about it. but i am sure the 30-06 cartridge it has, has got a nice kick to it.

 

Theres a new company in California - claims they're makin the "best" ak -47 in the world. Showed it being run onver 2x by a humvee, then fired, submerged-then fired, buried - then fired etc.Their goal is to sell 'em to the U S military.(Lotsa luck ! N. I. H. !!)
