[QUOTE="rc508pir, post: 3272811, member: 40091"] Rifles on hand, in a peacetime Army tend to have a lot longer service life than intended. My first duty station was 3rd Ranger Battalion when it first activated. We got old rickety M16A1's that were either hit or miss for functioning. # months later we got the A2's. What a difference. Also, a LOT of problems with the M16 were magazine related, and again it was mostly because magazines were re-issued over and over again. Unit commanders felt it was cheaper to keep them rather than treat them as expendable items like they should have been. The Army, at least has learned its lesson and sticks to a strict service life policy Having been to Afghan twice and Iraq twice also, Id take a M4 over an AK any day [/QUOTE]
