    MRAD or... Ballista or....

    It is a nice, usable rifle that shoots every bit as well as anything out there, but just is not in the same league as the initial three this thread is about in terms of quality, 'feel', usability, etc. (speculating on the ballista, as I have never owned one) Again, it DTA is a really good rifle...

    Suppressors Surefire SB2 or RC2

    You'd have to work pretty hard to wreck an RC2 even with a Warcomp and 11.5" barrel. They are very durable suppressors, and have excellent performance characteristics for a short gun. Mil uses RC2s like crazy on 10.5s 10.3s with no problems.

    Suppressed Lube

    Another one in the motor oil club. Stays where you put it and does a fantastic job keeping visible wear down. Not a fan of gear oil, though, due to the smell. Axle grease works great, too.

    WW1 British Expeditionary Force Marksmanship Standards

    Neat. As most of the literature is from the British Perspective, this is probably one of the most inclusive accounts of life on the other side that I have run across: https://www.amazon.com/Life-Commando-During-Anglo-Boer-1899-1902/dp/0798138084 It may be out of print, unfortunately. It was...

    WW1 British Expeditionary Force Marksmanship Standards

    Exactly! RE: FC's points- that is another thread entirely. Since we have been focused on the land domain in this thread, B.H. Liddell-Hart and J.F.C Fuller (both Britain) were working on some neat stuff and really struggling to come to grips with mechanized maneuver warfare. Maybe not as cool...

    WW1 British Expeditionary Force Marksmanship Standards

    Great points, agreed on the ossification. It is surely even harder to change if you are 'winning,' and your current system has gotten you to where you are. Also good point on how different states handle remains recovery. It's often a very sharp contrast as well to see US military cemeteries...

    WW1 British Expeditionary Force Marksmanship Standards

    They did learn, but in hindsight they learned many of the wrong lessons. Look at any war.... this is typically what happens. Occasionally, someone gets it 'right' from the start, but unless facing a fragile opponent or one with no strategic depth, that advantage is fleeting and gives way to the...

    WW1 British Expeditionary Force Marksmanship Standards

    Sure, military planners, force designers, doctrine developers etc had the American Civil War, Boer War, and Spanish American War to observe but these (other than the Anglo-Boer wars to the British) were insignificant compared to other conflicts that did more to shape European military thinking...

    WW1 British Expeditionary Force Marksmanship Standards

    As sihr mentions above, I wonder how much of the BEF's reputation was based on individual marksmanship, or on "musketry" in the sense of massing directed rifle fires on area targets. The two can go hand-in-hand, but doctrine at the time was probably more based on the latter. To be fair, no one...

    Why did you choose your AI?

    I might have gotten three exceptional TRGs. AX has a looser bolt fit, though which can translate to less resistance moving it. TRG bolt lift is a bit harder, but closure is easier. The TRGs do respond worse to dust. I'd still take the AI and was just nitpicking small differences. If action...

    Scar 17 value?

    To the above, there is a lot of profit it seems in parting out KAC, Colt, and 'GI clone' stuff, but I have not seen it with SCARs. To your point on the SR25, there is a seller on AR15.com who has seemingly ripped apart scores of KAC firearms and seems to do very well at it.

    Why did you choose your AI?

    TRGs at least; I have no experience with the M10.

    Why did you choose your AI?

    I think it is a combination of the tangible, well thought-out feature set, and intangible way it goes together as a functioning system. Combine that with production quality, manufacturer support, and an active enthusiast community. Agree on most, but raw action 'slickness' has to go to Sako...
