OMG.....I have the onset of BRS

[Guest c.a.s.]

I do believe I have just witnessed my first sign of Black Rifle Syndrome.

Armscor M1600.

Santa come early?

[Guest c.a.s.]

Only a Day

Take that to mean Verbal hasn't shot him down yet:rofl:

[Guest Boomhower]

Congrats Code man!!!

Santa was apparently tipped off to the attack, so he has been delivering presents slightly early in an attempt to avoid confrontations.

Kinda like leprosy.... it starts small, maybe a blotch like an SKS or M180, then it spreads: an AR behind the bathroom door, leaning up against the wall, an M90S1 under the bed. Before you know it, there is no wood to be found in the house and the rolling stones are playing "paint it black" in a continious loop and your girlfriend leaves you because you can't put down your 93... yep... you are in for a ride... congrats!!! What is that rifle by the way?

[Guest c.a.s.]

Armscor (Arms Corporation of the Philippines) Model 1600. I think I'll turn it into an abomination and put a scope on it.

[Mike.357]

probably a stupid question on my part but what caliber is it?

[SkWaShDeM]

.22LR if memory serves.

[Guest c.a.s.]

Yep, .22LR, High Velocity only.

It shoots great, I just need to replace the sights or put a scope on it. I guess tomorrow I get to go to Charlie's again or Wal*mart and get a low-magnification scope. I could try and tacticool it and buy a laser and a red dot sight....

[Pokey]

congrats cody...that should tear up some fruit next shoot huh!!!

[Guest c.a.s.]

If those oranges don't go bad by then!

[Guest ETS_Inc]

That looks like a good start to me.

Of course, you now have 6 years to start saving your pennies for the culmination of the infestation of BRD, when you're old enough to buy an M-16. (Well, you could buy one in 3 years, if you find one for sale by another TN resident, and the gun is on either a Form 1 or a 4.

Heck, if you did start saving now, and didn't worry about that pesky little annoyance called college, or a car, or a girlfriend, or a life, you just might be able to buy one in 6 years. You'll need to set aside at least $2,000 a year, probably more.

[Guest c.a.s.]

I could skip college and add on to that money that's already saved..... Great idea!

High Velocity only.

I think that is the secret of good shooting for these rifles, from everything I've ever heard.

[Mike.357]

Aren't most .22 LR High Velocity? Such as Remington Golden Bullet, Ferderal Bulk Gold etc. Or is it rounds such as CCI Mini Mags?

[Marswolf]

I know that a lot of the bulk box stuff didn't cycle the rifle properly. But I only know of a couple of people who had them.

[Guest c.a.s.]

I never understood "High Velocity Only", since everything I've seen is high velocity.

Mars: my bulk box of Federal cycled properly. I had a case catch in the bolt (it didn't get far enough away before the bolt returned), but that's the only non user-related problem I've had.

Yup. It's started alright. Congrats on the new rifle. Sharon and I have one of those in the collapsable stock varient that we bought for the grandchildren to shoot when they are in town (one of them is about your age- don't tell anyone I'm that old) and it is a surprisingly sharp and accurate little shooter.

[Guest ETS_Inc]

Not all .22 is high-velocity. There are quite a few subsonic rounds, as well as some stuff that's not quite 'high' velocity. Of course, high velocity is pretty relative.

Glad to hear that. Sounds like you got a good one. They may have done some design change to aid reliability since the ones I knew about several years ago.

Have fun with it.

Or, go get a full scholarship to college. Keep that scholarship through all four years. Graduate, and ask for an M16 at graduation instead of a new car.

That's the best idea!

[Guest c.a.s.]

What might be a bit cheaper than an M16, or a better one?

[Guest c.a.s.]

HOLY ----! This thing was dirty! Maybe that's why I couldn't hit anything!
