Yeah, the peoples republic of california likes to regulate everything! FP10s are awesome. USMC sniper rifles (M40) are customized Remmington 700s. They are not the best platform to start off of but considerring the quantities and customizations its a great end product. Bottomline though is the operator, the snipers I've worked with are top notch, way better than me. I think the hardest thing to shoot is a M203, they ought to do something to make that a little more intuitive to shoot. I suck with a 203! That and replace that darn M9!

The Remmy 700s are great but just hella expensive to start with and the FP10 will STILL give it a run for its money! I do agree about that it is the operator. I dont think I could ever do the calculations in my head that a "real" marksman could.

The good thing about the M203 is, as long as you are close, a 40mm grenade can get the job done!

I do agree about the M9. Dont get me wrong it is a great pistol and I love Berrettas but just not something I would want in combat. I heard the switch from the M1911 to the M9 was because of the increase of women in the millitary that cant handle the .45ACP round. I really think the millitary should look into a pistol chambered in .40SW, it has more knock down power then a 9mm and not too much recoil. Hell being shot by a 9mm ball round does very little unless the enemy is hit in the heart/lungs or head. Anywhere else and the enemy is still shooting at you!

JC, a used Eotech isnt that much more, but in all reality, since you are in commiefornia and you have a crap mag restriction, the rifle would be pretty much useless in a situation were youd really want to depend on a quality optic. Go ahead and get a fake ACOG since it will be mostly for looks anyhow.
 
Why do you think it'd be useless JD? I mean yeah 30 rounds compared to 10 rounds is a big difference but its still 10 rounds!
 
Bushnell is a good name scope they are at least a name that most people that don't know much about guns actually know. JD7 I have to agree although on future weapons the I.A.R. infantry assault rifle has a new fully automatic spring design that is technically based off of a cantilever system. It reduces recoil greatly allowing much of the force of the stock to be transferred over a much greater surface area. It also shoots .45ACP bullets too. I don't think they are in issue to us "civilians", bad firepower nonetheless. You said you have a 1911 model? I absolutely love the platform my Colt Gold Cup is built on, because its foundation is a 1911 but everything else is all made to meet cup shooters specifications. But I have to say a .40S&W round is one of the most reasonable bigger higher impact rounds to shoot.
 
The thing I really didnt like about the M9 in Iraq was that the open slide just gets full of dirt. I was constantly cleaning it. For all the complaints about the 9mm round though, it put a guy down with one shot. I was actually surprised.
Go with the bushnell, its not crap and it works. put the money you save into ammo!

In a situation where a rifle like that would be needed (say LA bank robbery type scenario...yeah I know rare but...) 10rounds with a hella slow mag change is nothing Id like to depend on! Hell I get angry at how fast/easily you can burn through 30 round mags at the range! I guess the upside is, youll save a ton of $$$ on ammo!

Its kind of like the 9mm vs (insert higher powered round here) debate. Sure the minuscule .22LR round has killed more peeple in the U.S. then any round, but that sure doesnt mean I would ever carry it to protect my own!
 
Then again you bump that .22 caliber up to a .223 caliber and now your chopping down stationary targets at 3000 fps or more if your using ballistic tipped or teflon tipped rounds, thats about 3x faster than a .22 caliber round travels.

:irked: :nilly: :irked:

You're watching too many movies! :ROFL: A "teflon tipped" round is nothing more then a made up term by libtards to scare the sheep into compliance.

Plus there are several .22 caliber bullets like the 22-250 and the 22-06. Im talking about the .22LR. There are even smaller more devastating rounds like the .17HMR.
 
LoL!!

Spend the extra money on plastic if you want. While youre at it, spray some teflon on them to make them uber duber lethal!

BTW, its called a magazine!!

JC, for your next build you should seriously consider the Savage 10FP. With the money you have dropped into this build, you could have you an EXCELLENT rifle that you could actually use to its...err...your...full potential.

Also, if you like tinkering and re-doing wood and stuff get your Curio&Relic liscense and you can have C&R guns shipped to your door! I love taking an old rifle and making it beautiful again. Besides, to me, a real gun should have wood on it! Another bonus is that many many C&Rs are cheap!
 
I know what the technical term for a clip is...thanks for the lesson, but I'll still stick to my guns thanks for the insight.
