    He was no fan of the M-16 and 223. 
    Certainly a good writer and a true patriot, very opinionated.  
    Been struggling to think of any good gun writers of present.

    Interesting article. Thanks for the "scout" rifle concept also.

    Both M16 and 5.56 NATO are still thought toys. by many.
    Good gun writers of present.  Don't have any.
    A generation ago: Skeeter Skelton/Dobe Grant, Gary James. Bob Milek, Charles Askins, Bill Jordan, Elmer Keith,
    Jan Libourel, J.B. Wood, Fred Barnes, Roy Dunlap, P.O.Ackley to name , but a few...
    Barnes' Cartridges of the World and Dunlap's Gunsmithing are still my favorite books. No matter how often you pick them up, you can still learn something new ! Dobe Grant was very amusing!

    Lots of NVC and ISIS/Taliban can attest that the 5.56 m is not a toy.

    I agree. However to many, a battle rifle must be made of steel and wood and .30 cal. or better !

    You got that right.
    Have Ackleys, Sharpes, Hatcher, Whelen, Keith, Askins, Cooper, and other old books from pre WWII and the Fifties.
    Just about every gun mag these days are merely ads; even the articles. Rarely anything interesting.

    What's the Marine quote?

    "Be Polite, be Professional, and have a plan to kill everyone you meet."

    Or similar.


    I was Army. We only strive to hurt people really bad.
