    In 1984 and 1985 USAF basic training shot M-16 modified to shoot 22LR. They had white colored plastic magazines for the 22 rimfire but you could only load a max of 10 rounds in because any more pressure on the rounds would cause jams. Even with 10 rounds it jammed frequently.
    I practiced before basic using my dad's Ruger mini-14 and was very proficient with it....when I shot the military's fairy rifle with the 22LR in basic it was a total letdown.

    Maybe I misunderstood him. The trainers were still the same platform just modified to shoot 22s.

    So maybe the Grand Master was a cook...

    I'd be a little wary if he said he was, "Just a cook."

    One thing I have always wondered about. When I was in basic training in Lackland, I clearly remember the Ammo cartons labeled 7.62 NATO but we were shooting M16 rifles. Got to shoot a lot of it though because we were at the range the entire day for two days. That was 1970. I wasn’t into shooting much back then (I was 17 years old) but wish I had been more aware. Was there such an animal back then?

    Reminds me of the retired military officer FOX claimed to be their knowledgeable military expert . This guy actually may know more about the AR than The Fox expert .

    Are those tactical Mary J Blige sunglasses he's wearing in that pic? along with his chrome 40oz opener dangling from his empty plate carrier...
