The ones I've seen claimed are a Chinese copy of an AK-47, which requires
filing or grinding away snip

Don't do it Doug... I speak from experience. It turns the AK into a self

Oh, *I* wasn't about to do anything of the kind. For one, I can afford
better than a cheapo Chinese copy AK-47, for another, I was debunking
Navvie's claim that any SLR can be made fully auto "by grinding away a
little bit off the sear" (an old wives tale).


The FN FAL I owned was an excellent weapon.

Same here. I'm not sure why Martin B was saying it was too powerful, too
heavy, and too klunky... of the gas-operated SLRs I know of, it's among
the smoothest (Marty, try one of those cheapo AK-47s in the same
caliber!). I thought it was a lot of fun.


... It can fire so fast that
automatic is not really required.

Not really a plus for an SLR IMHO.


BTW - FN made a wide variety of weapons Doug. It's a Belgian Company.

Yep, I was trying to point that out to Navvie a couple of posts ago.


Wind is howling here at 80 miles an hour outside. Great day to watch the
ocean from the safety of shore. I saw a big wooden picnic table fly off into
the woods a half hour ago... what a sight that was.

Blowing the dogs off their chains? Man you need to get a Laser or
something similar and get out there!

Actually, 80 is a bit too much. And isn't H. Nicole on her way to you? I
really hope the hurricane season is over.
