Article Link! Army Captain Slams New XM7 Rifle As “Unfit,” Sig Sauer Says Otherwise

[Bongo Lewi]

Thank you for the in-depth response, @Bongo Lewi and @no4mk1t, and the reading recommendation. Vietnam and adoption of ARs was a couple decades before my time, and I wouldn’t claim to know those facts better than y’all. Definitely agree the AR platform is and was a pretty decent weapons system… I need to post the 2 I’ve built some time, just haven’t gotten around to it yet

Have at it. I had fun with my repro. More of an assemble the parts project than a build but I'm happy with the results. Shoots great. At five feet, it looks like the real McCoy. An expert wouldn't be fooled. Museum quality wasn't what I was after.
