[SmallGameAddict]

Just one?

You're right. I was thinking selfishly. The wife might appreciate one too

 

[Jaywmustang]

Pricey ammo.

 

[SmallGameAddict]

That's to be expected

 

[Depick]

We need tax payer appreciation day where we get to play with all the toys our money is being spent on.

Had to familiarize with the M60 in the Army. Every 3rd round was a *tracer. A lot of fun on an old jeep @ 800 meters

I had a 50rd link a while back and the tracer was every 5......wish I didn't shoot them off.

[Jaywmustang]
