This makes them easier to transport due to their smaller profile and lighter weight. Barrels can be manufactured at shorter lengths as an alternative to traditional, longer barrels. Despite the colloquial term, barrels do not, strictly speaking, have to be shortened with a saw. Anyway, it gets the job done and I'd have given anything to have any of these rifles twenty years ago.A sawn-off break-open shotgun of the type commonly known as a luparaĪ sawed-off shotgun (also called a sawn-off shotgun, short-barreled shotgun, shorty or a boom stick) is a type of shotgun with a shorter gun barrel-typically under 18 inches (46 cm)-and often a shortened or absent stock. ![]() Amazing weapon, looks like it was put together with good parts -but in someone's garage. I wasn't on board until I broke down and got one. I'd rather have that than a Colt M4 any day.īut IMO, the ideal DMR is the Mk20. Hell, today they're getting 'em in 6.5CM! Did you know the Sig 716 is also an adopted military DMR now? In 6.5CM? I don't know if it's a stop gap or a one off thing, but they're in the registers. SOPMOD didn't exist yet I don't think.īut barring 6.5G, 7.62 has a lot to offer. Those made so much of a difference that it was actually hard to run the school without them. stock lowers for school, but when they deployed they deployed with the shitty stocks. We'd been using fixed stock lowers to swap out the adj. And we'd designed the Recce rifle long before the navy too, when KAC came out with the match rails, we got the first three for free and were hooked. Grendel would have actually been the one and done but we couldn't impress that on them back in 2003 even with Bde. BTDT, used to train 'em before AMU fucked it up, actually got the t-shirts too. I guess I can't either because I still want one and already have the other two high end 7.62's. Of course it's some pussy officer making the decision, wouldn't know a DMR from a broomstick (better than our pussy officer, sticking us with rack M4's to shoot at 600m like some sadist bastard).Īrmy can't make up it's damn mind. The HK and KAC are nice, nicer than the Mk20, but the Mk20 is far more suited for Joe and I can't see how they didn't see that too. How do you give a rifle like this to Joe?Īnd what the fuck is wrong with the Mk20 they can't give it to Joe? After all, that's probably the best DMR I've ever laid eyes on. ![]() They get two weeks on this? Come the fuck on. We taught SDM's back in the day and it took a month on an M4. Sad thing is they'll never get used at the range except to qual now and again, but they'll be shot out the first year or two at the annual spendex. ![]() If it took us a month to take good shots and make 'em SDM's with an M4 and an ACOG, how the fuck does AMU teach 'em in two weeks, half the course mind you and missing the whole NM and iron sight component, on this? Sad thing is that SDM's don't have the training required to take advantage of a system this nice but it's typical Army thinking, "you can buy accuracy". ![]() They're gonna spend your tax dollars and give this to Joe. Wish I was young again so I could sign back up and play with all this cool shit. I was an OG SDM and SDM instructor and we had slightly better than a stick -an M4 with an ACOG. I guess it's import laws and lack of an HK factory that prevents us from getting this.īut what really blows me away is that this is gonna be the new SDMR for the US Army -holy shit what I'd have given to get issued this bad motherfucker. I'd sell my SR25 in a heartbeat for this and I didn't do that to get the Mk20. $12k US including SB scope and T1 dot in the mount, all RAL8000. I mean, the real deal with the German markings and everything. So apparently Canadians can buy the no-shit German military G28.
