[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 2356397, member: 5412"] I can't believe they kept those POS in service without changing the barrels. The 1-14 twist to destabilize the .55 grain round and not crimping the base of the FMJ so it would separate was a great idea, but accuracy, compounded with dirty powders put a bad taste in my mouth for this platform. Given that most firefights were at 50 yards or less, I guess the round worked as designed to separate on contact create separate wound channels. Until 8 years ago, I fought buying one, but now have more than needed. [/QUOTE]
