Maybe, but I would not call it "dressing" if I did. :-)

It's the uneducated that use the term "clip" for Magazine. It's that
simple.

What about Moon Clips for revolvers dear? There is more than one gun
that uses clips to load the mag etc. <g> The Garand is a PITA. I
finally got introduced to one a couple of weeks ago when I took my NRA
instructor certification class.

I'm glad it's been replaced by the AR-15.

Moon Clips looks like a catchy term they use to market them. It's just
another speedloader.

I went through the wHole gamut of weaponry whilst I was in. Started with a
..308 Bren with 30 round mags, to the M60, the SLR, the M16, then to MAG58,
Steyrs, and finally H&K MP5's.

Out in the open, I'd choose the SLR over anything else (except a H&K PSG1
;-).

I like the satisfaction of knowing that one round is going to severly ****
someones day up ;-)

LOL. I've noticed he seems to have stopped that shit.

Presumably age is catching up with him to an extent. Not that that kind
of consideration was ever a factor when he routinely threatened violence
on numerous posters on other groups - irrespective of their age or sex.

In fact, I noticed the less physically imposing they were (if he was
familiar with them), the more likely he was to threaten them.

A real class act all around, our petey boy.

?? Before the bird was killed? Before the bird was roasted, maybe?

In my feeble recollection, "dressing" was nothing more than a classier
term to use than "stuffing." Then came the movement to convince
people to not cooked the stuff in the birdy and some bright soul started
calling it "dressing" if outside the bird and "stuffing" if in the body
cavity. Whatever. :-0) I like it either way.

Not really! It's much faster than a speed loader, but the cylinder has
to be cut for one. Not all revolvers can use a moon clip.

You've never fired an AR. They are a joy to shoot. Might be a small
caliber but at a muzzle velocity of 3,200 fps, they do mess up someone's
day. You should see what they do to a varmint at 100 yards...

One important thing to me tho' is ease of field stripping for cleaning.
The AR has that ease, as does my Taurus PT-92.

I don't know a lot about guns (I have a couple of .22 rimfires), but
Peter says he's used the M16, which is the military version of the AR-15:

True, but he did not name that as his favorite.

Yep, Dan's right....... M16 - AR-15 all much of a muchness..... just a few
bits and pieces attached that are different.


Guys in the Battalions used to like carrying it (actually, they only ever
gave them to anyone who had Rank) because they were light.

They tried to give me one when I was a Section Commander, but I stuck with
my SLR.

http://www.5rar.asn.au/weapons/slr.htm


The 5.56mm was high powered, but too easily deflected. It could be
deflected off a banana leaf if it was hit at the right angle.

The 7.62 just used to go *through* things.... walls, trees, people :-)
