Well, I'm waiting on stuff to arrive, so I'm in the following situation:
And it has been hard to find quality ammo to add to my stash:
That leaves you with only this toy to view:

We decided to take our rifles for a walk to the Bushy Run Tea Party on 4 July 2009.
Bushy Run Battlefield Park
Bushy Run Road
Harrison City PA 15636

With about 2000 people in attendance.
We are invited to set up a 2nd Amendment booth for the 12 September 2009 protest, which we are expecting 40+ will be Open Carrying our sidearms as well as our rifles

Wow! Thanks for the Paulian display of Testicular Fortitude...
However, I am greatly concerned regarding the manner in which the gentleman to the right is resting his arm.
Even unloaded, muzzle discipline is paramount, especially with impressionable youngsters nearby.
Thanks for sharing!

Here is my newest edition to my gun collection..... Its a GSG-5 that shoots 22LR. I bought it because I love to shoot but I don't enjoy the cost of shooting my AR-15 or M1A.
Very cool! I plan on picking one of those up eventually, but I also found this new cool .22 AR-15 style rifle.

If this thing works well than the .22 upper conversion kits are no longer necessary. Seems like a great way to practice. Hell considering both are only like 500 bucks each, perhaps I will buy one of each.

Did you they throw in the FisherPrice Aquarium Cradle Swing too? Man, now that's a deal!

Project complete - an old war horse returns to service in order to fight evil and liberate the oppressed.
What twist rate is that? Is it a 1/7 twist rate or 1/9?

I seen that rifle the other day and man is it bad ... I didn't know about that When I bought my GSG-5 which really stinks. It doesn't matter though I'll probably get one because .22LR is sure fun especially since it only costs 20 dollars for 500 rounds.

It is 1/12 - the military went to 1/7 in 1985 with the M16A2 and this is essentially a ca. 1970 weapon. The barrel is a post war replacement (FN instead of Colt), and the lower is from a small company that makes mil-spec (notice the gray and not black) lowers.

Why would you want a 1/12 twist? Are you just trying to make a classic style AR15 with all the standard specs? I mean, I guess if it is just a plinker that is fine, but it can't shoot anything higher than 55 grain.
It's a M16 retro clone. It's not an AR at all. Stoner's original M16 design had 1/12 twist barrels. Sometimes it's not about the functionality but the collectability or the nostalgia. I imagine Pericles has more than a couple ARs in other riflings that are quite capable.
Sorry to speak for you Pericles. Just thought I'd tidy that one up for ya.

This is correct. Here is the ca. 1983 Grenada era weapon, which has a few differences from the above ca. 1970 weapon, although both would be designated the Colt model 603 (M16A1).
The A2 of Gulf I vintage and the A4 and future project M4 all are / will be 1/7 twist barrels. BTW, the old A1s are still capable base defense weapons (some still in use by the Air Force), and I have yet to meet someone who really cared whether they were shot with a 55 gr. M193 round or a 62 gr. M855 round.
If I start scrounging for parts to build an XM16E1 - you might think I have gone off the edge, but that is what freedom is all about.
