Wat’s Carbon Water-N-Stuff Thread - Concepts In Iron And Wood!!!

I’m wondering about a .308 with a 16” barrel. I have 2 M1A rifles and 2 AR10s. The ARs both have 20” barrels. Something with the Big Punch with a shorter barrel seems like it would have a bit more short range utility.

The M1A SOCOM doesn’t float my boat. I’m sure it is a decent rifle but….

16" and 308 would be good. This one has a 12.5" barre

I like the shorter barrel versions. Easier for me to handle and I like lighter too. I'm not 6' LOL. I want something shorter than I am. LOL. I shoot his for fun but its hard work, esp with the 308's and as for the old Lee Enfield 303 - ouch! And don't get me going on the Mosin Nagant. That one IS taller than me. LOL well, not quite, it's fun, but it's not light.
 
The more I shoot, the more immune to recoil I become. I find the 308 to be a really good trade-off between the carbine cartridge that is the 5.56 and the bigger, full power military cartridges found in the Mosins, Mausers, Enfields, and Springfields. I did buy an upper for my AR10 in 6.5 Creedmoor, and I am looking forward to spending some quality time with that.


There is a gun show in town this weekend, but I am sitting in a tire store getting new shoes for the truck. Besides, I already shot my firearms budget for the month.


Keep looking and finding the cartridge and rifle combination that works for you. If it doesn’t work, you won’t shoot it. If it does work, you won’t put it down.
 
In your mind, having a "Conversation" means talking to yourself on an online forum using a dozen different screen names.

I wonder if you ever do talk to any actual real people, or if you are one of those guys you see on the street wandering around screaming at clouds and having conversations with hallucinatory people.

Oh hell, now I'm LLcocks?

WTF? At this rate I'm going to be everyone and who has enough time to post that much? (other than Pax and BB I mean.)
