As a Nam era AirForce brat that spent his childhood overseas and as a good friend of one of the few surviving tunnel rats (Rice Paddy vets in St Charles) )who is alive because of an American made weapon.
I totally agree!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for your service Karl

most likely wasnt that black plastic piece of crap. My dad and uncle told me stories about how they couldnt even get through a full clip without that crap jamming up.
Never heard anything bad about the weapons used in korea, then again my uncle mainly controlled the 50cals and mortars LOL.

I was there and had used the said rifle in question. And I am not going to say we didn't have problems with this rifle. However, it wasn't the company that made the rifle who was to blame. It was non other then the US Army.
Stoner designed a great weapon, but one that needed a certain type of powder to fire in it's cartridges. When used with the right powder the gun functioned as advertised. But the Army thought they knew better then the designer and went with a different powder that fouled up the gas system.
Now this wasn't the first time a designer had asked that a specific powder be used in their gun. Winchester told the Army that the M1 carbine need to have non corrosive powder for the gas system to work properly and they did. The rifle worked as advertised with no problems
Or so I have been told. Correct me I am wrong brothers.

I thought I just expained that it was not the rifle that was crap, but the use of the wrong powder.
If this crap rifle was so crappy, then how come everyone is buying the hell out of then. They are the most bought rifle as of this moment in time pal.
You need to do your research before you open your mouth. Then you would not have to sit there and try to remove that large foot from your mouth now.
It is a wise man who recognizes his mistakes. Think about it son.

I think you put your foot so far in your mouth this time that theres a sac on your chin. I think you should load all your CVA's in your KIA and drive until your not standing on something that guys died defending using American Made weapons.......
