[QUOTE="OK Corgi Rancher, post: 4203969, member: 45773"] No...I didn't forget anything. I didn't ask if you served during Viet Nam. I asked if you were in the jungle fighting alongside others who used the M16. So you're not going to see combat again. So what? I'm not either. I'm in my early 60s, too...but that doesn't mean I shut my mind to the truth and constantly live in the past. In all likelihood, none of your guns...or mine...will ever be fired in anger. That doesn't keep me and millions of others from enjoying the AR-15 in a recreational or competitive environment. It also doesn't mean you, or I, shouldn't be willing to learn instead of sitting around feeling sorry for ourselves. I've already presented my case why I think the Mini-14 is dated but not obsolete. Some agree, some don't. Just try to be objective for a change and look at things without all the biases. You'll be surprised how much different the world looks. Or don't... "Mattel's Mistake"? How do you expect anyone to take anything you say seriously? I wondered when someone was going to bring up that ridiculous myth. I suppose "Ken's" rifle had Mattel parts, huh? [/QUOTE]
