Thanks, Ken. Sorry about the vent, but having a shooter that shoots is about the most important thing to a Marine. Dan says "Sandy" was plenty accurate, when/if you could get her to speak....

Does anyone know if the Galil/Valmets (Kalashnikov variants that shoot our 5.56 round and are used by a Israel, SA, Finland, and some smaller countries) are more reliable than the M16? I've run into them in Guatemala, whose troops love them, but even there they are being displaced by Chinese AKMs, mainly because of price.

Hey, Jack, it's the "green plastic" time of year! My buddy has a green plastic DA .45 that really works. Of course, it is prominently stamped "Made in Croatia"....(Actually my black plastic Ruger P345 works fine and is made in our own Republic).
