  1. jams from stuck extractors. if you get a double feed from this condition, you have to slam the butt to try to extract it and i'd imagine a solid a2 butt stock or a battle rifle stock would hold up better than a collapsible stock. never happened to me... just sayin'

     

    Interesting. The double feed drill I learned involves locking the bolt to the rear, dropping the magazine, fingering out the stuck rounds, racking the weapon 3 times, then inserting a fresh magazine. Especially now that we use the ACOG optical system on our rifles, I'm not too keen on the idea of beating that thing against the ground. Maybe with an M14 or something similar, but I've never run into a jam on the A4 that I couldn't clear this way.

     

    I will say that the two weapons I've handled that had collapsible stocks (the M4 and the M1014) both would have held up to having the stock slammed into the ground.

  2. Lets see. Going on 20 hours at work, staring at this computer.

     

    I haven't actually DONE any work today, though. I just have to be here. Probably won't be off for another hour at least.

     

    Someone earlier mentioned driving through the Sierras, that really makes me wish I was home right now.

  3. i never thought the collapsible stocks are good on a battle rifle. some of the malfunction drills you do you have to slam the butt on the ground and i would imagine that they are not as strong as a solid butt.

     

     

    In my two years in the infantry I've never once learned a drill that involves slamming the butt of a weapon on the ground. I'm curious, where did you learn this?

  4. I've never had a hangover. Even the times I've drank myself way past oblivion, I woke up feeling just fine. The time I drank for 24 hours straight in Laguna Beach, don't remember anything after about 1pm, puked all over a cop car, and still woke up feeling fine. Even went for a run that morning.

     

    I got lucky in that department I guess.

     

    My friends all swear by McDonalds fries as a hangover cure though.
