Now you have me thinking if that was a A1 we had...this was 86-89...now I am not sure. I could swear it was an A2...but that was 25 years ago and I am lucky if I remember what happens 25 mins ago these days LOL

I am not a a geardo who has to have the latest and greatest gear out there. While I did buy a tac vest during my last Iraq deployment, this recent one had some good equipment out there, namely the plate carrier and the TAP (Tactical Assault Panel). After 16 years in the Army, I only had two issue magazines fail me during training and never had a single issue with a weapon failing me in combat - with the exception of my old M-16 A1 I had during Desert Storm - both as a POG and more recently an Infantryman. Let the men buy what they want. It's their money. The Army buys enough metal issue magazines in bulk that I don't really see the manufacturer losing any significant amount of money. Besides, the war in Iraq is over and Asscrackistan is almost over, so soldiers will not be buying high performance mags in the near future. At lest as not as many as they do now. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Order the Adobe Coldfusion Anthology now! http://www.amazon.com/Adobe-Coldfusion-Anthology/dp/1430272155/?tag=houseoffusion Archive: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/message.cfm/messageid:351458 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/subscribe.cfm Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/groups/cf-community/unsubscribe.cfm
