Picked this up from another member Monday, last time I used a model of this was 67 in the south delta of the Mekong. Later I used an XM177. Been wanting another to pass on to my son when I go to that big PX in the sky. So I loaded it up with a 20 rd mag (Nam issue back then) and went down to my range. Had an eerie feeling holding it, I place a target at the 100m and walked back to my table and had a sudden urge to turn quick and fire a quick 5 round burst. It was as smooth as butter and had a strange feel with the old style tri-angle hand guards, but when I walked back down range, Charlie... I mean the target had 5 nice round holes in the Head. Brought a warm feeling to my heart. Have ordered an original 3 prong C Ration Case opener to replace the bird cage, and now to find a nice matching lower to bring it back to that original NVA stomper look. I feel like a kid at Christmas, it's a keeper
minus the pew pew pew pew pew parts.. But I always felt that was a waste of ammo anyway. Americans were once taught to pick your targets, not close your eyes and spray & pray.. It brings back memories, good & bad, but I still tend to giggle a little when I pull the trigger and chant to myself "get some".. You're never to old to play, it's just your toys cost a tad more
