I have read a lot about what a wonderfully accurate cartridge the .223 is in a barrel with the right twist. If I can ever afford a Galil .... In any case, I want a 25-06 before that. “While it’ll put all of it’s shots into one ragged hole …”

Some Alternate reality where he might he be talking about some wonderful 'gun of the future'...he can't be talking about that POS jam-o-matic colt. How can you trust something that has a bolt assist built in as part of the original design. I enjoy mine, but I ain't taking it to war. While it'll put all of it's shots into one ragged hole, my SKS will shoot 10,000 times without a jam (or cleaning)...using ammo dug up out of a farmers field in Cambodia. Better yet, grab a Garand.

I'm impressed.

I'm old enough to remember. They were touting the "Mattel toys" as self-cleaning guns. Then they sent them to Viet Nam. They would jam a lot. I've never owned one. What is it about the bolt handle that's like a faulty ratchet? That it's kind of a free-floating spring-loaded thing? Oh, yeah. I’m old enough to remember.
